Ever wondered how Doom's music would sound through a valve-based vintage reel-to-reel recorder? Where, here's how. I wonder if this is the oldest audio device ever to play something Doom-related ;-)
After I got a vintage -but crystal-clear- microphone to go with it, it proved to be able to record at a quality far superior than I expected -at least on par with a good 80s tabletop recorder, and surely better than a half-assed "MP3 recorder". Very little noise, and good amplification. I tried to saturate the amp in this video to get that "tube sound" everybody's raving about :-p
The statick-y noise you hear in the video actually comes from the camera, and not from the recorder itself. The recorder has actually max. freq. response of 12 KHz, the camera just 4 KHz. "Cheaper and better" electronics my ass ;-)
