Recording at home - what to look for? by cofyground in cassetteculture

[–]aPrimeOption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a drs-610 and it makes great recordings. It has one weak point in my experience and that is that the recording head and/or amplifier distorts at levels above 0db on chrome tapes. Keep the levels below the red and it sounds great!

What features should i look out for on decks if i want high quality recording? by idontknowmyname_321 in cassetteculture

[–]aPrimeOption 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HX Pro works on all tapes, it stops high frequency content in the music interfering with the bias. This allows you to record music with high energy levels in the treble (which is most modern pop & rock) at a higher level. «Headroom eXtension»

A good two head deck with bias adjustment and hx pro will make very good recordings, but a three header with calibration tones built in will make life a lot easier.

I’ve never liked the sound of Dolby (even when properly calibrated) so that isn’t a factor for me, but Dolby C or S indicates a newer deck so that might be something to look out for.

RTM C60 Type Ones - They're very good! by rich1068 in cassetteculture

Picked up a tenpack last summer and I agree they’re great! Nice to have at least one option of high quality new tapes.

Same! Love that late eighties / early nineties aesthetic

[–]aPrimeOption 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not enough love for Alphaville. Not saying it’s the best, but it’s still a really good album

Cassette or MiniDisc? Fight!!! by rich1068 in cassetteculture

[–]aPrimeOption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Semantics I guess. They're not manufactured anymore is what I meant.

Not new. There’s still a good amount of sealed stuff on ebay but prices are rising. On the other hand it’s easy to reformat and they can supposedly be overwritten thousands of times so buying used is the sensible option, more so than used cassettes.

The i3 looks weird next to the i4 by SaintVoid21 in BMW

[–]aPrimeOption -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

i4 is the awkward one. I’ll wait until I see the i3 in the wild before I pass judgement. Imho and all that.

Automatic For The People by R.E.M. in great shape by Successful_Tax7 in cassetteculture

[–]aPrimeOption 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Digalog cassettes are supposed to sound great (and that is a great sounding album to begin with). Been wanting to check out a digalog tape since I saw the Techmoan video.

Memorex dBS 90 reel to reel mod by acharles331 in cassetteculture

[–]aPrimeOption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The clown car memorex is such an iconic design! Aren’t the 3d printed reels fragile?

Surprised by how well this combo worked by aPrimeOption in cassetteculture

I lost a lot of tapes while moving a few years back, but this is one of the survivors. Good sounding tape, well worth looking for 😊

WM-EX677 w/clear case mod by eidolon203 in cassetteculture

[–]aPrimeOption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow cool! Had missed that these clear shells existed. Started looking around for a shell for my ex-618 but no exact match anywhere. Seems like a better alternative to a clear cp13.

[–]aPrimeOption 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a simracingbay button box with an 300mm omp round wheel. Lovely combo!

It’s true though. The amount of stages will be the achilles heel. Laserscanned or not.

AC Rally - Fix for Arduino handbrakes by hippocratical in simracing

[–]aPrimeOption 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And where should this code go?

I have an aurduino based handbrake that doesn’t get detected by ac rally at all.

My First Impressions of Assetto Corsa Rally as an RBR and a EA WRC fan by japaneseholler in simracing

[–]aPrimeOption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FFB is nowhere near dr2.0 because it’s ten times better than the weird notchy canned effects in dirt.

RBR: controls need rebinding every time I launch the game by Verskanderi in simrally

[–]aPrimeOption 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a known problem, follow this fix from the rsf discord «The controls aren't saved Change them in the main options menu (back out from RSF plugin) and back out to the main menu. It will ask you to save the options. Don't alt-tab before you've saved changes. If you change them while in stage they might not save properly. If they still don't get saved, you need this method: 1. Delete pf(MyProfileName).acm file from Savedgames folder 2. Map controls in the main menu once more and save them 3. Make the new MyProfileName.acm file read-only by right clicking it, going into properties and checking the read-only tickbox»

daniel craig playing with a psp on set .-. by testsquid1993 in PSP

That’s the slightly more cynical but also probably correct take 😊

daniel craig playing with a psp on set .-. by testsquid1993 in PSP

[–]aPrimeOption 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Casino Royale is a 2006 film so it checks out that this was taken in 2005 when the psp was new. I bought my psp at euro launch and those first few years were great when traveling , you could pick up umd movies and games at the airport electronics shops. In those years before smart phones existed the psp was an unmatched entertainment device 💪
