Now, imagine the ‘STOP’ button has just been pressed.ĭue to the way the tape machines are built so they don’t damage the delicate tape, the wheels don’t stop spinning instantly, instead they slowly decline in speed until coming to a complete stop.
In order for the tape head to read the tape at the correct pitch (and sound like the normal recording) the tape much be spinning at that dedicated speed. As the tape moves moves from 1 reel to another a stationary tape head is reading this magnetic information on the tape as it passes by. When the tape is laced through the machine, in ‘PLAY’ mode, the wheels in the tape machine are spinning at a set speed (usually between 15 and 30 inches per second for high quality). Ever wondered how to create that classic tape stop/record stop sound effect you hear so much? You know the one that goes bswhherrrrrr.īefore we dive into the tutorial, let’s take a step back and think literally about what the tape is actually doing to create that effect, it’s quite a simple process that is happening.
