Fun fact: if you had a chrome tape or a metal tape, for it to be able to completely erase the tape it would need to be rather strong. Since Chrome and metal tapes require way stronger signal to be recorded on. That is also the reason why no cheap boombox ever records on type II or IV.
interesting I never knew that
i have a regular type 1 tape that was accidentally erased partially on side a, but side b seems to be untouched.
Yes! True!! Placing a magnet on either a VHS tape or a music cassette tape could be unplayable 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀
You could play it, but there wouldn't be much worth the time. 😂
I used magnets to erase cassette tapes, and VCR tapes. Mine got erased, but had a humming noise . If you re -recorded on the tapes, you would have the hum with it. I just got rid of all tape type recorders. Now I have professional hard drive recorders. They are also multi track. One is Korg D8. It is only CD quality, but records without compression. The other is the Korg D12. Haven't used it yet, but it is supposed to be 32 bit. CD quality is 16 bit. No more tape hiss. Plus they both have a CD burner. Record your own CDs from multi tracks.
Note: Buying new is not recommended. Music equipment new is very, very, expensive. EBay is great for used equipment. Good prices if you know what to look for.
for sure second hand is always best!
I've ruined a few of my recordings just by putting some tapes in a backpack which used little magnets to keep itself closed. What a fool :)
lol damn
Are you sure? I had put 50 cassette tapes on the top of a boombox speaker for about 18 hours and nothing happened. The magnetic induction was low (6 Oersted) (a cassette would have its content modified only at 200 Oe).
@@stefandumitras9897 yep cos the backpack was very thin. The magnet was practically touching the cassette with only a piece of cloth between them
@@theycallmejames7649 Having in consideration the details you provided right now, yes, if the magnet is very close, it literally should erase the cassette. I managed to do that even with the tip of a screwdriver!
I was hoping it was going to be some cool effect to make your recordings more lo-fi retro sounding.
kinda did if you crank the volume after lol
use a bigger horseshoe magnet around the cassette and get pre and post echo
Walkmans with in built speaker?
I've had one in my childhood no longer have that today but still have all those cassettes from that time and the sound of the cassette varies by 2 seconds full volume then 2 seconds low volume i just realised it was the speaker of walkmans fault, some of the cassettes are now my favourite ones and i just can't blame myself to unintentionally ruining the precious cassettes still keeping in my collection.😢
Ever wonder wat would happen when you put a cd in a box with sandpaper and just run with it could it damage the disc😂 or a knife and vinyl.
I'll check......
Interesting Experiment!
Also sweet aurex cassette deck.
thanks! it's a great deck :)
❤didnt know that really helpful
Before everything went digital, radio stations used analog carts that played media. The players didn't have record ability, nor did the recorder have a fully functioning magnet the way a home stereo would to simply go over the past recording with new stuff. They used a bulk eraser to totally eliminate the old media, then start again on the recording machine.
I actually have one, but forgot to include it in this video :)
@bucksmoonlightrevival
Wow, interesting.
I'm not sure what is more surprising, that you have one or forgot it for video on magnets erasing tapes 😆 🤣
I would like to know if you could still record over those.
for sure you can! the recording is just erased (poorly)
oh, Really? thats nice.

when you nothing is on the tape can you actually reuse it. there's an old tape I found nothing on it just water of 50mins of a wall. if I erase the footage can I resue it and film something on it?
as in film?
Tapes are always reusable.
Just be sure the device is quality that it will totally erase over the old and won't eat the tape. That being said, the quality of the 2nd recording may not be as good as the original. But as long as the tape is in good condition, go for it.
I wanna ask, i opened a cassette with a screwdriver with a magnet, the magnetic field is small and it only touched the screws. will it damage it?
hmm the screws are far away from the tape, so perhaps it's all good. When you listen to it, listen for a slight drop in audio every couple seconds
Hey man great news, it didnt ruin the cassette alhamdulillah, and well i got another question, do fingerprints ruin the tape? Im just curious like accidental touches? Thanks
hmm I'm actually not sure. probably not I'm guessing. I touch parts of my reel to reel tapes when I'm feeding them into the recorder and/or splicing. If it does affect the tape, it's so minimal you'd never notice
I have type 1 cassette.
Does that mean that I can easily wipe parts of a cassette tape recording but still record onto it after?
for sure! the magnet just erases the recording. There's better ways to do this than with a cheap kitchen magnet tho lol
Generally, the tape recorder is going to erase the old at the same time as you play a new media onto it. However, that being said, you have to know the machine you have. Not all work at the same level of quality. Sometimes it is best to erase before reusing.
To wipe parts of the tape, it is probably better to use the machine to record emptiness onto it than risk using a magnet that can touch/affect multiple places.
if you erase the tape with a magnet can you still record onto it?
u shur can dean :)
@@bucksmoonlightrevival okay thanks
cool
thanks for watching 🙂
