Need to know where to go with the mix on this one. how would you change it so far aside from re-doing the vocal? The grand piano is patched through an old Phaser (MXR) I have. The bass guitar is a late '60s Teisco. Thank you...

I recorded this at UCONN the other day in the piano lockers. This was tracked entirely digitally! The vocals and piano were recorded simultaneously! It is a 6' Yamaha Grand piano! I played the other instruments including the mellotron and bass guitar. I was at UCON practicing for something else...

not much of a singer, but here I go. here's my song, recorded to a 1978 Teac 80-8 8 channel machine @15 ips with noise reduction on all channels. 1976 Teac 5 mixer used here, as well as early '70s scotch 203 which drops out a lot (i have even older 1/2" tape that does NOT drop out - I'm saving...

Was pulling some mixes the other day and found this track I test recorded and I was delighted to hear the fatness coming through on the 8 channel 80-8. The tape was early '70s scotch 203 that has really bad "drop outs" so beware. The mixer is a 1976 Teac Model-5. Just recorded in the old...

this song is about the LA area and the sadness that exists there. My friend Beth Smith handled the flute on this song, and me the other instruments and vocals. Drums, guitar, and bass was tracked to an old school 80-8 at 15 ips on '70s Scotch 203 1/2" tape. The rest tracked into Reaper, so it is...

Recorded this track in an endless pursuit to get a "warmer" sound, but the track is not mine! I don't really know who, it's taken from the "one on one" sound-track featuring the amazing Seals and Crofts. Of course my version is miles less sophisticated, but I keep trying to get a warmer sound...

This track i recorded to a very vintage get-up! I love the sound. It's rough, but it's that 70s sound I can't get with digital. I'm as happy as a clam with this old gear. I handled all the instruments on this track. The tracks are as follows: 1- '60s violin bass -> 1975 Gallien Kruger G200 ->...

I was challenged to write a song about a commercial product so I said what the heck and tried to do it while blasted on shrooms in all honesty, in a freezing basement. It's a rough demo, tracked to digital in Reaper audio, with the spring reverb run as an effects loop in a steinberg ur22. The...

Fired up the old analog systems for this one. I'm not really sure to work on it some more or just throw-away. Things that were hard was recording organ all the way through without being able to punch in. You can't punch in on this machine. But the signal flow should look something like this...

Attempted something in digital, which was a 1976 Flamenco guitar in front of a behringer B1, into a Steingberg UR22. And the bass was plugged directly into the Steinberg. I routed the spring reverb on the guitar through the Steinberg's second channel. The sound is low-noise for sure, very...

I keep missing the mark here with the mix. I tried a version of it one day, sounded dull, then then the next day recorded it again and got a completely different sound but now I'm almost fatigued and almost can't begin to figure out what went wrong. my recording equipment here is a '70s teac...

just "wrote" this to try to get a sound image on my tape. It was taken straight off the mixer to Reaper, that's it. Please nevermind the nonsensical words and everything else, I'm just trying to see what this tape gear sounds like. Seems very strange and temperamental. 1978 teac 80-8, 1978 Teac...

hey I was just in my studio the other night trying to come up with some song ideas. I tracked this through a 1978 Teac M15 board (1976 Univox Ec-80 tape echo at the effects loop), 1978 Teac 80-8 machine (with noise reducion), early '70s Scotch 203 1/2" tape. Then I sub-mixed the whole things to...

Taped this the other night. Testing out the equipment. 1978 Teac M15 board, 1978 Teac 80-8, early '70s Scotch 203 1/2" tape with Dx-8 noise reduction on each of the eight channels. The bass is a 60s violin bass into the board, acoustic is 1960s Goya T-16. Mic is always vintage '70s Shure 545L...
