NEW BLANK CASSETTE
The skin the player tries first. A player without it, or a listener who may not use it, gets the player's own, and the listener can always change it.
NOTES AND PERMISSIONS
A CASSETTE SOMEONE SENT
Open a web cassette or a .cassette file to record a reply onto it. It arrives wound to the end of side A.
A cassette file (.cassette) must be opened into a player.
A web cassette file (.html) loads into a player online or offline when clicked.
A cassette without the 'remix' sticker cannot be opened here, only opened in the player.
SEND IT OUT INTO THE WORLD
EXPORT turns the cassette into a web cassette: one file with the player and cassette together. Send it to anyone as a file. They open it to listen.
A web cassette is an ordinary file, so it goes anywhere a file goes: keep a collection of them on the computer, share one from a cloud drive or a chat app, or copy it onto a memory stick.
Receiving one? A web cassette is a web page, so open it when you know who sent it. A real web cassette never asks for a password. Signing in with Patreon always happens in a tab of its own at ramapani.com.
Web Cassette Studio for Windows
The whole cassette studio, on the desktop. Record an album, a podcast or a mixtape, dress it in cover art, and send it out as a web cassette that anyone can play with one click. Free to download and keep, and one key unlocks the full studio.
- A deck of its own. One deck that records, imports and plays.
- Record anything. A microphone, a line input, a USB interface, or whatever the computer is playing.
- Import in seconds. WAV, MP3, FLAC and OGG go onto a cassette far faster than real time, and the tracklist writes itself.
- Real cassette sound. C5 to C90 in Types I, II and III, each with its own character, plus six kinds of noise reduction. The recording underneath always stays clean.
- Edit like a studio. Drop bookmarks mid-take, then swap, move, cut and copy parts, add silence, and undo.
- Cover art in a click. J-cards with endless generated patterns or any picture, with fonts, a spine and the track list.
- Clickable tracks. Timed tracks let listeners jump straight to the song they want.
- Labels with personality. A title and a subtitle, shell colours, label styles and three kinds of handwriting.
- A shelf for the collection. Every cassette as a cover or a cassette, sorted and tagged.
- One button to share. A web cassette plays in any browser, five times smaller with compression, in the skin of the maker's choice.
- The maker's rules. Choose whether others may remix it, and attach a licence.
- As many decks as the desk will hold.
- Dub and mix. High speed dubbing from deck to deck, and CUE START to roll several decks the moment REC goes down.
- An effects rack. Reverb from a small room to a cathedral, echo, dusty record, old radio, worn cassette, chorus, warmth, lo-fi, fades and more, all previewed before they go on.
- Longer cassettes. C120, C240 and C480, plus FLEX cassettes that grow as the recording does, up to four hours a side, and SHRINK TO FIT makes any cassette as small as it can be.
- Typewriter and Block print lettering for the label.
- Type IV metal. The brightest, cleanest cassette of all.
- A cassette web site. A step-by-step set-up puts a player and a cassette library on any web server.
- Publish with a link. Share links show the cover and title in chat apps and on social media, and SYNC keeps every copy up to date.
- Ramapani skins for the player on that site.
- Full-size covers ready for shops and streaming services.
- The 70s Chrome look. Dress the whole studio in brushed aluminium and walnut, with piano-key controls, glowing blue displays and amber-lit needle meters.
