Hello! I just wanted to ask how did you edit the audio on the magnus archives to make them sound like they were being recorded on a tape? I've been making recordings of some statements my friend's written but I'm not too sure how to edit them!

Get a recording of a tape player. Lower the volume and run it underneath.

Use an aggressive Equaliser (EQ) to strip out high and low frequencies in a bell curve prioritising standard speech frequencies. Pro Tip: It can be hard to find a good preset EQ for this so if you don't know how to do it yourself hunt around for a "telephone" EQ preset. It'll have the same effect.

While cassettes and CDs are now staples on artists' merch tables, tech companies are starting to make physical media players again. But are they any good? The Verge’s Andru Marino finds out why today’s bulky cassette and CD players may not be able to compete with the innovative designs of the 2000s.

Quotes from my most recent sound crew meeting:

"We don't need weapons training, I'll just hit him really hard!"

"Where does the lesbian XLR go?"

"He thought our ID numbers were our coordinates."

"This broken microphone has one use now. It's a maraca."

(This was all from the same guy btw, he's great)

My favorite thing about running sound is being up in the booth and being able to cackle at all the gags and not having to keep the straight face everyone on stage is

Hey,

During a Q&A at one point you said that in making the remote recording kits once COVID hit, you caused a shortage of a particular microphone - just curious, which microphone was it?

The Audio Technica AT2020 with all the associated accoutrements. It's still our standard microphone but we are looking to upgrade in the future.
