Stop before your tapes get chewed or sound dull—do this 2‑minute cassette deck/player clean first. I show safe head, capstan and pinch roller cleaning with isopropyl/isopropanol (IPA) for clearer playback on analogue/analog hi‑fi.

Question: Which deck are you using (Sony, TEAC/TASCAM, Technics, Pioneer, Aiwa, JVC, NAD, Yamaha)? Any wow/flutter or transport issues?

What was the best cassette deck you have had. How much did it cost back in the day? Would you spend that much in today's money?

After a sufficient time I am surprised that no one has spotted that my background has a picture of a "Real Person" who has had a big impact on Audio and TV. Can you spot and name them? Put your answer in the comments.

Would you prefer polished B-roll with commentary or raw, real footage with the same explanation? Let me know what brings the content to life for you. Sometimes the real footage is hard to get with any real quality. But it is real.

🎵 My 2nd YouTube Video Ever... Can You Help Me Revive It? 🔧

Four years ago, I created a 70-second visual guide showing what audio clipping ACTUALLY looks like on a spectrum analyzer.

214 views later, I just gave it a complete makeover with AI Coach's help:
✅ Honest title that matches the content
✅ Proper tags for discovery
✅ Real description (no fake timestamps!)

Here's my question for YOU:

👉 Which clipping type would you struggle to identify in a mix?
• Hard Clipping
• Soft Clipping
• Soft Overdrive

Watch it here: https://youtu.be/skw_l6uC3-U

Drop a comment on the video telling me which one surprised you most - and if this gets traction, I'll create the FULL tutorial on how to FIX each type that I originally promised! 🎬

Your view + comment = algorithm boost. Let's see if we can get this past 500 views together! 💪

Ever blamed a gadget... only to discover YOU were the problem? 🤦‍♂️

I just made a video criticizing a £15 DAC for weak output.

Plot twist? My TV's optical port was the real culprit - it couldn't deliver enough volume! The DAC was innocent all along. 😅

Lesson learned: Always check YOUR setup before blaming the tech. Here's my full troubleshooting journey (and the humble pie I ate) 👉 https://youtu.be/DXbmHOLsQGI

Your turn: Ever troubleshot a "faulty" device only to find the problem was something embarrassingly simple? Confess below - we've ALL been there! 👇
