Judio! 02.04.14	Mine: A Slow Descent https://aslowdescent.bandcamp.com/ Laughinman's: The Phonies http://thephonies.bandcamp.com/ I think Yak put mine and laughingman's albums together on one tape since they are both relatively short EPs.
YakNips 02.04.14	I'll put a picture up as soon as I have one laughingman
laughingman22 02.04.14	thanks
grish 02.04.14	sweet
BlacKapes 02.04.14	dude don't try to sell that shit youll regret it
YakNips 02.04.14	lol "try" trust me I could get quite a fortune
BlacKapes 02.04.14	Not even an opinion, tapes have inferior sound quality to vinyls and CDs. No one has decent cassette players anymore. If someone has one, it's probably a CD/cassette combo which makes it really hard to do normal maintenance like azimuth adjustment, demagnetizing, and cleaning the rollers. The reason vinyl is back is because theoretically they hold much more information than CDs, that's it. I believe the dynamic range for tapes is around 60 dB compared with 16 bit lossless = 96 dB. I mean, fuck, you're losing quality IF YOU COULD EVEN DO A PERFECT TRANSFER.
BlacKapes 02.04.14	so do you have a sweet deck and are you demagnetizing, cleaning the erase and playback heads, adjusting the azimuth to a reference tape, and transferring from a low snr line out to your deck's line in? i bet not. this is why cassettes are a dead medium. bye
MosesMalone 02.04.14	And here I thought tapes were replacing USB drives.
BlacKapes 02.04.14	bye
BlacKapes 02.04.14	see you later
Greyvy 02.04.14	hi xD

DrMaximus 02.04.14	Lol, you can't possibly know if you're gonna regret something.
Mort. 02.04.14	sell the dgd you don't like much, like acceptance speech
YakNips 02.04.14	Im working on it.
SCREAM! 02.04.14	But at the end of the day, just get a job Yak.[2]
XingKing 02.05.14	How are you dubbing these anyway? And are you just buying tapes off the net or dubbing over old ones?
PunchforPunch 02.05.14	lmao
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.05.14	you started a tape label are there any tapes
Trebor. 02.05.14	yes generally a new company has a launch product
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.05.14	that phonies ep is kind of neat. phonies not digging much.
Deathconscious 02.05.14	"Lol, you can't possibly know if you're gonna regret something." what?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.05.14	@trebor thanks detective i'm glad your sarcasm detector is in working order still also 'company'
Trebor. 02.05.14	implying I wasn't being sarcastic right back
Deathconscious 02.05.14	im going to call my ex and tell her i love her and i want her back at 3 in the morning. will i regret it? who's to say?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.05.14	sorry I'm still holding you to the same standard of stupidity as from before I left I'll give you the honorary potato benefit of the doubt
Trebor. 02.05.14	that sounds like a great idea
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.05.14	yeah do it and then report back with a heartbreaking list
SCREAM! 02.05.14	"im going to call my ex and tell her i love her and i want her back at 3 in the morning. will i regret it? who's to say?" You're not actually serious about doing that though. If you WERE serious about doing it, it would be because you thought it was a good idea and only later on would you realise "shit I'm an idiot"
BlacKapes 02.05.14	or maybe she wants you back and was waiting for your phone call either way calling her up is a better idea than making a tape label without doing transfers right, or actually making a tape label at all
Deathconscious 02.05.14	@scream doesnt matter whether im serious about it or not, i know for a fact i would regret it, thats the point. "either way calling her up is a better idea than making a tape label without doing transfers right, or actually making a tape label at all" lol
YakNips 02.05.14	Xing I'm dubbing over new ones
BlacKapes 02.05.14	what's the model and quality of your deck (and sound card if you're using it)? can you walk us through your dubbing process? is the environment you're dubbing in interference-free? using gold-plated connectors (if at all)? how often do you do maintenance like demagnetizing, cleaning the rollers, and azimuth adjustment? what do you clean the rollers with? are you correcting the azimuth to a standard tape or to your ears? what kind of tapes are you using? how are you preventing accidental erasure? what's the max bitrate/sample rate your sound card allows for playback (if you're using one)? how do you make copies of tapes?
YakNips 02.05.14	yes
BlacKapes 02.05.14	fck yeah this will be the best label ever
YakNips 02.05.14	thanks!
Mort. 02.05.14	yeah yeah orchid are gonna reform just to put shit out on yaks label
YakNips 02.05.14	I actually am thinking about contacting Jamie Behar about re-pressing Saetia's demo tape.
BlacKapes 02.05.14	do you want to be on my tape label?
BlacKapes 02.05.14	i picked up a used karaoke cd/cassette player from a garage sale for $2 and im playing songs off laptop speakers into the mic to make tapes
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.05.14	^awesome
BlacKapes 02.05.14	join my tape label man
Judio! 02.05.14	"i picked up a used karaoke cd/cassette player from a garage sale for $2 and im playing songs off laptop speakers into the mic to make tapes" Sounds lo-fi as fuck. Count me in.
BlacKapes 02.05.14	yeah i like to do it outside since i live on a highway too, i figure i can make quite a large significant amount of cash money
Judio! 02.05.14	dude I have a broken microhpone that fell off my earphones that would be perfect for recording vocals. also I found a Dora the Explorer amp that would make my bass sound really br00tal.
BlacKapes 02.05.14	dude fuck yeah record that shit on your phone and send it to me i can play guitar but my guitar only has 2 strings and i dont have a tuner
BlacKapes 02.05.14	i might go buy this so i can have drums, but i cant play drums, what do you think? http://ow.ly/tjNEZ
Judio! 02.05.14	nah, just do what I do for drums and bang your head against a trashcan.
BlacKapes 02.05.14	thats cheaper and ultra lo-fi good idea
Judio! 02.05.14	I had an idea for a multi-genre lo-fi band that plays industrial skramz/blackened thrashhgaze/progressive emoviolence with a dash of screamo and the occasional post-rock dubstep instrumental. What do you think?
BlacKapes 02.05.14	i think thats a great idea and we should record a 5 minute ep right now and put it all over sputnikmusic within the hour and everyone will like it and lets ignore all constructive criticism
someguest 02.05.14	let me eat some beans and grab a microphone
YakNips 02.05.14	You're funny
PunchforPunch 02.05.14	lmao poor yaknips
someguest 02.05.14	I was going to start a grindcore band.
YakNips 02.05.14	What stopped you
bach 02.05.14	damn yak's lists are so controversial now
BlacKapes 02.05.14	yeah someguest, dont let the fact that you cant play anything or mix or have even barely decent recording gear stop you from making music and spamming sputnik with it
BlacKapes 02.05.14	haha and whys that
bach 02.05.14	mylittlepenis: our white knight and protector of sputnik
BlacKapes 02.05.14	vote me 4 mod 2014
DrMaximus 02.05.14	Lol, MLP's only ratings are Yak's albums.
BlacKapes 02.05.14	yeah i had like 200 ratings on mostly industrial albums and they got wiped for fuck knows why and i cbaed to redo them
YakNips 02.05.14	"Spamming sputnik with it" How dare I make a list advertising music that I put work into.
bach 02.05.14	you can rebuild. don't succumb to this mlp! and lol why only yaks'?
YakNips 02.05.14	Because he's a fucking idiot
BlacKapes 02.05.14	im gonna do a lot of the userbase's music and his was pretty much the first i checked out besides obvious joke projects
MosesMalone 02.05.14	I started a glue label
BlacKapes 02.05.14	im curious as to how much work went into your music and how much research went into cassette production for your label i dont have anything personal against you, but i think youre halfassing everything and it annoys me, thats it
PunchforPunch 02.05.14	this is the reason why i go to sputnik. thank you MLP
MosesMalone 02.05.14	Is it possible to have an alt you didn't create? Like for the primordial consciousness that is Sputnik to develop doppelgangers of you based on aspects of your personality?
BlacKapes 02.05.14	and the fact that you ignore my (harshish) constructive criticism because i have no idea why tells me the tapes you will produce will be seriously substandard
DrMaximus 02.05.14	Agreed with Punch.
PunchforPunch 02.05.14	like Donnie Darko??
YakNips 02.05.14	Im not halfassing anything man. I just make do with what I have. And my cassette quality is fine
IbenizGEO1 02.05.14	sup whats going on here
MosesMalone 02.05.14	sort of. Because I swear spookynewghostfriend is my alt. And there was this guy who kept calling curseworship a bitch, and I swear he was my alt too...BUT THEY AREN'T.
bach 02.05.14	lol slip
PunchforPunch 02.05.14	ah i get that. like this one right http://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/PenisforPenis
BlacKapes 02.05.14	well whatever man, good luck
MosesMalone 02.05.14	He's just mad because he has a little penis.
BlacKapes 02.05.14	im a girl jk
MosesMalone 02.05.14	You'd probably be even angrier.
YakNips 02.17.14	Bump cause I got a new release in our store
Judio! 10.03.14	Ah, I remember this. Good times, good times...
BMDrummer 10.03.14	rip hard jammers

BMDrummer 10.03.14	should've gotten signed to this label damn
DrMaximus 10.03.14	Lmao this thread
XingKing 10.03.14	Did you give up on this, Yak?
Judio! 10.03.14	Judio! 02.05.14 "I had an idea for a multi-genre lo-fi band that plays industrial skramz/blackened thrashhgaze/progressive emoviolence with a dash of screamo and the occasional post-rock dubstep instrumental. What do you think?" wtf why did this never happen?

BlacKapes 10.06.14	it failed? no way!
BMDrummer 10.06.14	judio let's get on that now
laughingman22 10.06.14	This was pretty successful in my opinion
Judio! 10.06.14	Same here. In fact I think this needs to be revived hard
laughingman22 10.06.14	harder jammers
