wow

yeah isnt that just amazing?!

fuckin props to that guy

I used to DJ a lot back in the mid 90's..but fuck me! I have never ever seen shit like this dude just pulled off..

*looks for boombox in basement

*feels old*

looks awesome but I suspect bullshit... or at least some major circuit bending, which is propworthy all by its lonesome. Great concept even if it's a fakeout.

I kinda thought that too... if it is possible to scratch tapes then why has it take 20+ years for someone to realise it. Surely this would have been discovered in the 80's?

That's totally legit. You can scratch tapes. There's like, lots of problems though. The tape wears out really fast, you have like, no control over basic cutting/scratching that he's doing, and it's not viable as something to do for a long period of time because you can skip forward/backward in time so you're stuck on the same section of tape forever.

RobotDeathSquad is right. I did some research on this matter in the meantime.

*scratches last line:


mean mean mean mee meeee tiiii tttiii ti ti ti mmmm m ti t ti ti ..time time time!


word!

I know you can move back and forth on the tape head, but without a mixing board it's not that clean - and he'd have to redo the electronics to get output from both decks at once.
