nice. it was my first attempt and recording before cutting the loop does seem to work better. when I recorded afterwards, i can’t seem to magnetise the taped part so doesn’t loop seamless. maybe i’m using the wrong tape (just scotch?)
the walkman can record and play at different speeds which is fun.

If you got a dead spot it's the gap between the erase head and the write head. Stick a bit of tape over the erase head or slide a folded bit of paper down if you don't want to risk glue getting on the head. You'll then get sound-on-sound infinite overwrites with no gap.
If you use thin/less folded paper or tape you can gradually increase the erase effect. I use an old Fostex XR7 4 track for looping drones, put a chord or note on each track and fade them into each other.

I did that a few years ago. Found a Roxy Music cassette and took out a random section. Turned out I'd taken an almost perfect loop of Bryan Ferry singing Avalon.
