1978 BIC T1 2-Speed Cassette Deck (Complete Version!) ThisGuyFrritz 2011-10-24 | Originally uploaded to Vimeo back in May of 2009. This video was doing fine until Vimeo disabled all my videos (and I thought they was supposed to be better than YouTube, except when it came to their policy). I was hoping to try YouTube, which would mean splitting the video into several parts. However, now that we YouTubers can upload longer videos, I might as well upload the whole demo (which I meant to do earlier).Thanks to Miguel (Vinylrecordsneverdie and DaAnalogDogg86), when he saw this video when it was on Vimeo, he could tell it was made in 1978.This tape deck my dad got from a rummage sale for $2. He showed it to me since he knew I would be interested. Sure enough, I was. After a little cleaning and replacing a belt with a rubber band, it worked like new. Also sounds very good, especially with the high speed (unless the recording was done in the other speed :-] ).This video ends with what the Cassette Master would say.Right now, the rubber band is sticking to the motor. Also, I think the heads are not quite lined up properly. So, I'll try to resolve the problems.Taken with my Sony CCD-TRV608 Hi-8 HandycamEdited with Nerro Vision from Nero Essentials (before I would get Sony Vegas)
Luna and Saturn - July 9th and 10th, 2019 - The Best I Could Get ThisGuyFrritz 2019-07-11 | - Taken on July 9th and 10th of 2019 with my Canon VIXIA HF R700- Edited with Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12.0.MUSIC:- "Saturn, The Bringer of Old Age" and the ending of "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity" (originally written by Gustav Holst, this synthesized version was by Isao Tomita, better than that "Beyond the Sun" version by Patrick Gleeson).- "A Cosmic Kiss" by Geodesium from "A Gentle Rain of Starlight."I was told that shortly after sunset you would see Saturn towards the South. So, I thought I would bring out my Canon VIXIA HF R700 and see how I can take this video. Bear with me as I make manual adjustments of the focus and exposure, as well as trying to keep it steady. As you can see, Saturn would appear to be very much like a star, which is the best I could get. Also got the half-moon. I have a feeling that I could've done a little better. Oh well.
Fireworks - July 4, 2019 - Poughkeepsie, NY ThisGuyFrritz 2019-07-06 | Taken with my Canon VIXIA R700.Editied with Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12.0As you may notice, it's been a few years since I've uploaded something to YouTube. That's because, like some (or a few) YouTubers, I was going to use Vimeo as a place to upload my latest videos. But the video file size had to be no more than 500MB, which is why I've uploaded only a few on Vimeo. I wanted to go Plus, but I don't think I'm ready to pay for that. So, for now, I'll upload video files more than 500MB to YouTube.
Sound Effects: Explosions, Gunfire and Cannons from Telarc Sampler Five Plus ThisGuyFrritz 2012-04-05 | From Telarc CD-80005 It starts off with the announcer's warning about playing these tracks at very high levels. That would be on the last music track. Then these explosive sounds would follow: Explosions recorded for "Ein Straussfest" (CD-80098) on December 11, 1984, Blossom Music Center, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Pistol and Rifle shots recorded for "Ein Straussfest" on June 2, 1984, Music Hall, Cincinnati, Ohio. Gunfight recorded for "Round-Up" (CD-80141) on September 16, 1986, Music Hall, Cincinnati, Ohio.

RE: Audio Left Right (((Stereo))) Test ThisGuyFrritz 2012-03-12 | I thought I would make this video response since it's similar to the one by coondogtheman1234. Although, it doesn't show in the comments area below that it's a video response.Here's what I would use to test sound systems. This upload is on the tracks for identifying channels. Notice that there's more than just a voice identifying "Left" and "Right" channels. There's also a little white noise. I also include the one for "Left," "Center," "Right" and "Surround". These tracks last 1 minute. I cut them to about half the time so it wouldn't seem like forever when listening to the test tracks.Link to my other upload of the sound effects tracks on the same CD:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT8NSOF8FxkHere are a couple of links about this 2-CD set:http://www.amazon.com/Dolby-Surround-Spectacular-Music-Tests/dp/B000000703/ref=sr_1_1_title_0_main?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1331579762&sr=1-1Also can be found on Discogs:http://www.discogs.com/Various-Surround-Spectacular-The-Music-The-Tests/release/2909101You can also find my uploads like this on my new YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/DaMuzakian

Bill Blacks Combo - 3-Inch CD - MCAD-37307 ThisGuyFrritz 2012-03-09 | Something my dad got because it was at a cheap price. After listening it was like, well... not for him. But I thought I would keep it for the heck of it. I could recall a 45 that he got which had "Blue Tango." I could've shared that on YouTube, BUT it was sold at a flea market some years even before YouTube would exist. :-/ But hey! I suppose that you will enjoy these instrumental songs from the "Vintage Gold" 3-Inch CD. All tracks originally released on Hi Records.

Early 1980s Sony TC-FX 30 (2009) ThisGuyFrritz 2011-10-24 | Originally uploaded to Vimeo back in 2009, until all my uploads were disabled (Vimeo doesn't seem to like it when you upload your same videos to YouTube). I was hoping to get the complete demo uploaded sooner or later. Now, it's finally uploaded. This cassette deck I found at a flea market back in the summer of 2005. The tape heads would normally go up when the play button is pushed so the audio from the tape could be heard. It wasn't working and my dad and I thought this tape deck was a failure. But I hope it would not be, so I kept it in my room for over a year. Then I decided to try to fix it. It turned out that a belt needed to be replaced. So, I manage to find a rubber band (rather cheap fix) and it worked very well. I was also did a little cleaning and adjusting the motor speed, and it worked very well. I was even able to upload a few YouTube videos using this tape deck. Taken with my Sony CCD-TRV608 Hi-8 Handycam. Edited with Nero Vision from Nero Essentials (before I would get Sony Vegas).

7-Inch EP - Old Music Box Melodies - Christmas Songs ThisGuyFrritz 2010-12-19 | *** Info on the lable ***MERRY CHRISTMAS - "Old Music Box Melodies" - Christmas SongsSage Brush Music - BMIProduce by Jim O'Neal, P.O. Box "A", Arcadia, Calif.*** A little story about this record ***1970's (when I was young enough to be in 2nd or 3rd grade school): My parents and I were visiting our relatives in Dutchess County, NY. There were times when I play games and stuff with my cousins at that apartment. I can even remember playing records and tapes there. One of them was a 7-inch record of Christmas tunes played on music boxes. I thought it was a fun way to listen to Christmas music.December 2009 (when I made that unexpected find): I was on the Internet checking out a few things on eBay for the heck of it. I typed in some search words like "7 inch EP". While looking at the EP's that were up for bids, one particular item looked familiar. I remember seeing one of these during that visit with my cousins in the 70's. The starting bid on the record was 99 cents. I thought I gotta bid on it. It turned out that I was the ONLY BIDDER on that record! When I received it, it came with an unexpected bonus. A few weeks after getting that record, someone I knew from church requested a copy of "A Music Box Christmas" CD (which I've uploaded in 2009). I thought I would also include that 7-inch record as a bonus.***** Side A *****1. Silent Night2. Adeste Fidelis3. O-Sanctissima4. Chimes of Trinity5. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing***** Side B *****1.

This was one of the 3 free LPs I got. That record is almost like NEW! A few minor drawbacks: The sound is rather unsteady at times. On some tracks, the sound gets cut off in the end before it could fade away completely. The whole album is less than a half-hour long (not too concerned about that). You'll also notice how the tonearm sorta "swings" due to the record being a little off centered. The sounds was "electronically enhanced for stereo". At least, the vinyl surface is almost like new and I still find it a fun to listen to Christmas album. ***** Side 2 ***** Ave Maria (Bach / Gounod version) Hark!

TCHAIKOVSKY: Nutcracker Suite - 45 RPM Tops Record ThisGuyFrritz 2010-12-17 | From a 45 RPM E.P. that I've found at a flea market. This might be from the '50s or '60s. For those of you who have seen my 2-part video of my turntable may recall seeing that record. In this video, I'm playing both sides. The record is scratchy and has 2 skips in the Chinese Dance. I managed to cut down the noise as much as I can (see below for the software I use). I prefer playing Side B first because I felt that Side A should be saved for last.Doesn't say who was the conductor, but does mention two orchestra names on each side.-----------------------------------(The side I played first)Imperial Viennese Concert Orchestra1.

I used MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab 16 to make it almost like new.Note that near the end of this side, the speed sounds slightly unstable.

Time-Life Music: As You Remember Them - Plastic Flexidisc ThisGuyFrritz 2010-11-20 | Something I got from a flea market back in the Summer of 2007 (with a bunch of other 7-inch records). I have been considering uploading this for quite a while. Meanwhile, Miguel uploaded his copy to YouTube when he was "damusician" (with 3 other YT accounts). There are those of us who remember those accounts. I suppose you might remember when I had my "Frritzz" account. But they are gone due to the WMG and other stupid copyright issues (Perhaps some of you had that experience, as well). Maybe it was a good thing I have not uploaded back then because that Pioneer PL-518 I was using had a very light tonearm and it would "bounce" very easily on the warped part of the flexidisc. I was wondering what other player I could use, even that Audiotronics 312T classroom record player. Well, now that I have a $5 Pioneer PL-L70, the flexidisc can play very well even through the warped part.
LIMAHL / GIORGIO MORODER - Neverending Story Theme Song and Ivory Tower ThisGuyFrritz 2010-11-20 | *** Content owned by WMG. But, thank goodness, they're not gonna block it! *** My first time in months since I've uploaded records playing. I got it brand new at Record World in 1985, some months after seeing the movie in the summer of '84. Note that the version on the 45 is different from the one in the movie. I did a comparison and noticed the one in the movie sounded different and was better. Maybe that version would be in the original soundtrack album. Same with "Ivory Tower". Again, not what you would hear in the movie. The first movie is better than the second (of course). Never seen the 3rd one, but I have read VERY NEGATIVE reviews about it. Played on my Pioneer PL-L70
My DELIBERATELY Slow Attempt In Typing a Message ThisGuyFrritz 2010-11-19 | Alfter seeing CoolDudeClem's rant about using Notepad on videos and doing surveys, I thought I would try.Note that when I said what I did "tonight", it was actually in the afternoon on November 18, 2010 (when this video was taken).OK, enjoy my DELIBERATELY non-professional video.

Maybe I'll keep that as a souvernir.That concludes the series of videos taken in June 16th and 17 of 2010 (FINALLY!). I wouldn't mind doing it again. In fact, we're talking about going to Rhode Island sometime this fall. If we go, there will be "More Newport Mansions, 2010".Newport Mansions website: http://newportmansions.comCamera: Sony CCD-TRV608 Hi-8 HandycamEdited with Sony Vegas Studio 9

Fireworks in Our Neighborhood - July 4 2010 ThisGuyFrritz 2010-07-05 | Taken with my Sony CCD-TRV608 Hi-8 Handycam in widescreen mode. The Sony can capture low light better than my other cameras. You'll see what was seen from my house in Dutchess County.While taking videos (before you would see the fireworks), one of our neighbors was playing Hip-Hop with explicit words. That's why I replaced the soundtrack in that part.After the fireworks, the electric power went off across the road but hasn't gone off on our side. Maybe due to fireworks?Edited with Sony Vegas Studio 9

We get a closer look at the Moongate at Chateau-Sur-Mer (Wetmore House) (as the tourguide mentioned "Castle by the Sea"). We also see the names of the trees we observe. I used subtitles in places where it's too fast to read a sign.The last place we visited before going back to New York was the Green Animals Topiary Gardens in Portsmouth, RI.

My sister and I observed the names of the trees, there (see the signs for names of the trees). Then we went to Chateau Sur Mer (Wetmore House) (as the tourguide mentioned, "Castle by the Sea"). No picture taken would be allowed in the mansions, which is why I would turn off my camcorder as we go in. One of the things the tourguide mentioned was the Chinese Moongate. I thought I gotta see it after the tour.

You'll see me clearing up a mirror. There's even a Hamilton Beach hair dryer (in case if anyone wants to know). :-] You'll also see the Travelodge's office and the place where we had our breakfast. I had to slow it down in that part since I was quickly taking videos while my dad pays the bill.

Perhaps you can bear with the way I've managed that.In 2 of the mansions we've visited, we get an Audio Antenna portable media player with headphone so we could take our times listening to the tour. There were a couple of classical pieces I recognized while taking the tour. One was by Schubert (see below) and the other was the 3rd movement of Haydn's "Emperor" Quartet.After the tour, we checked out the outside of The Breakers.Later, we went to the Marble House.This part ends with a little bit of rain and a sign that says "Caution: Wet Floor". :-]Wikipedia article on "The Breakers": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_BreakersWikipedia article on "Marble House": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble_HouseNewport Mansions website: http://newportmansions.com* Music *SCHUBERT: "Trout" Quintet (Finale Movement)RAVEL: Le Tombeau de Couperin (Rigaudon)PUCCINI: "O mio babbino caro" from "Gianni Schicci"Camera: Sony CCD-TRV608 Hi-8 HandycamEdited with Sony Vegas Studio 9

This is where we get tickets to visit 5 places (The Breakers, Marble House, Rosecliff, Chateau Sur Mer and the Green Animals Topiary Gardens). Note that there were times when my camera shots were kind of tilted. So, thanks to the video editing software, I managed to keep the picture straight.

This is where we find the Travelodge in Middletown, RI. We went over two bridges. One of them was the Jamestown Verrazano Bridge (not to be confused with the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in NYC). The other was the Newport Bridge. You'll also see the only time the EZ-Pass was used on this trip.That GPS device (Magellan Road Mate) came in handy to find our way there. My dad had me as a "co-pilot" to help him out. My mom and sister sorta helped out, as well. Even though I haven't quite entered our destination right on the Magellan, it wasn't too far off and it worked out very well.* Music *SMETANA: The Moldau from "My Country"DEBUSSY: La Mer (1st Movement)Camera: Sony CCD-TRV608 Hi-8 HandycamEdited with Sony Vegas Studio 9

You'll see how I manage to use our GPS device while holding my camcorder. I didn't realize that my camcorder wasn't in widescreen mode until we were in Stormville, NY. That's why you'll see 4:3 ratio ("old" standard) during the first few minutes and then 16:9 ratio (widescreen).

A Blue Planet DVD with a Protective Layer (April 28, 2010) ThisGuyFrritz 2010-05-25 | This video has been ready for uploaded for quite a while. I could've gotten this done already. :-P Well, now that it's up, enjoy the video. I thought I've read (or heard) about these things for DVD's and CD's. What would a supposedly "protective" add-on layer do to a DVD? This video will show you. I might as well clarify that it was some previous owner who put the layer on a DVD. By the way, "The Blue Planet - Seas of Life" is sure worth watching on my 26-inch Toshiba HDTV (what you see in the video). Better than the IMAX movie with the same name in 1990, which has nothing to do with the BBC series. Both the IMAX movie and BBC series I got from a local library. The IMAX movie was already returned while I renewed the remaining 2 DVD's to have a chance to see them. Taken with my Kodak Zi8 Edited with Sony Vegas Studio 9
