Danny O Flannagin Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hey, just got into no input mixing and was doing it with my 4 track cassette recorder. I'm achieving some great tones that i'll drop into Ableton's simpler. I'm a little afraid of breaking my recorder, the gain is pretty low and the signal isn't peaking so i guess I'm good. Anyone have any experience? Tips/tricks? Your own recordings? here's a vid for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Danny O Flannagin's signature Hide all signatures https://nimajeb.bandcamp.com/music https://www.instagram.com/bengastphoto/ Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/87216-no-input-mixing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterE Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) neat obvious thing would be to put some effect pedals or watever else in the feedback path Edited April 6, 2015 by MisterE Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/87216-no-input-mixing/#findComment-2310366 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryancolecreate Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 ya mixer feedback can be really cool. Never heard it called no-input mixing. I really want to someday build a 4x4 matrix mixer for this exact purpose. :) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide ryancolecreate's signature Hide all signatures ------ dailyambient.com ------ New Ambient Music Every Day.

Guest Aces Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I have quite a lot of this style of thing over the years. The only tip I can really think of currently is to put a loop pedal in the chain, that is if you have one. I used a loop pedal in line on this: https://skink.bandcamp.com/track/the-four-two-four towards the end.

Danny O Flannagin Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I was running it through my guitar pedals and got some interesting tones, could use one of my delays as a loop pedal Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Danny O Flannagin's signature Hide all signatures https://nimajeb.bandcamp.com/music https://www.instagram.com/bengastphoto/ Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/87216-no-input-mixing/#findComment-2310670 Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) the older yamaha mixers with the knobs and spring reverbs sound fucking *amazing* when doing this type of internal feedback stuff. A friend of mine who has been making drone music for the better part of 20 years used to use one all the time livelike this : Edited April 13, 2015 by John Ehrlichman Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/87216-no-input-mixing/#findComment-2312534 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chunky Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) EQ for tuning the feedback bp filter and cassette tape delay in the feedback path (3 head cassette deck) turn up the gain and volume on an empty channel for noise spring reverb sounds good, shake the reverb for splashes Edited April 14, 2015 by chunky Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/87216-no-input-mixing/#findComment-2312657 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to be able to do something similar live with analog gear ! I kept it "analog" in the way the patch is built, ( no midi information have been exploited or harmed during this jam ! ) but I would have to sell the house just to get all the band pass filters used to get the drums sounds... Ok, f### the house, let's do it ! :D Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Ded4m's signature Hide all signatures @hreinth https://soundcloud.com/hreinth Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/87216-no-input-mixing/#findComment-2312689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 A friend of mine has an old rack mixer that we use for stuff like this. It's pretty neat to just sit around and fuck about with feedback.
