we don't need rest!!
ok...thought I'd put some "old" material (1980) up here for your perusal...
This was recorded on a Teac a3340s 4 track reel to reel and mixed to a Tascam 22-2 half track r to r. This is also before I owned any digital equipment and the mixer was a cheapie Peavey 1200s (circa early 70's) monster with a spring reverb. The delays are tape recorder slap backs, and the [cheezy] drum machine was an Oberheim DX (I think that was the model number). Look past the drum programming however, as at the time, we were just freaking that a drum box could do such a thing
Now I am going out on a limb here....but I think this shows you can get decent results with crappy old gear.....OR..my ear still sucks and my recording techniques haven't evolved over the last 20 years or so. Now this isn't any commercial release, by any means, but I think it "kicks" a little in its own right, and makes a point about *gear lusting.* I own equipment now that I would have never dreamed owning back in 1980 (and earlier). These old reel to reels are always on Ebay for <$200 and you CAN'T give these old Peavey mixers away now...so....ya gotta have a C1, mackie pres, lexi verbs, RNC compressor...?....for home stuff..?..maybe..maybe not.
oh yeah...I did run this thru a Waves L1 to boost things up a bit..but that's it for current technology.
PS....dis 'was b'fore rap too....an' I'm a white boy
PPS...written/recorded in one night, half bag of weed, one of 20 songs in a short period of time.
