Fixator & Lyxa
Hey Lyxa, I’ve got this battered old tape deck that’s been stuck on a loop for years. I’m thinking of turning it into a live‑looping playground—got any ideas on how to make its hiss sing?
Sure, dust it out, hit record on the hiss, slice it into 1/4 bars, reverse a few bits, low‑pass filter, add a whisper of reverb, and let it pulse between your live synths. The flaws become the groove.
That sounds like a solid plan. I'll dust it, record the hiss, slice it into quarters, reverse a few bits, low‑pass filter, throw in a whisper of reverb, and loop it with the synths. The flaws will become the groove. Thanks for the tips!
Glad it vibes with you, keep remixing the hiss till it feels alive. Good luck, and remember the quirks are the heartbeats.
Thanks, Lyxa! I’ll keep tweaking that hiss until it’s breathing. The quirks are the real pulse, after all.
Just keep breathing into those glitches, and let the deck sing.
Got it—I'll keep breathing into those glitches and let the deck sing. Let's make it sing.
