Software/Hardware: Pro Tools Le? M Box?
Original Media: Maxell XLII
Hardware: SONY Cassette to Sign Video? XLR-Pro then two male/male XLR cables I
Settings:
Cassette: vol.4/10 Headphone out (I tried the Line but the volume was low...however not sure if I'm introducing othe noise with the setup.)
Focusrite pre-amps are set almost on top as usual
Lot's of hiss, try to get rid of this.
Starts in virtually mono, though not quite sure. Later defiinitely stereo, probably using that cool little AIWA stero mic. I bought in Barcelona on the port back in 1986.
-
- Driver 8
- More Than Words: No vocals, Chris on guitar (some profanity when Chris screwed up, Brian playing that Mexican Scraper thing)
- Protest Song (stereo begins) Somebody is washing dishes in the background (Yoko?) With funky B52ish interlude... where the hell did that come from? Some of this is actually good, sound quality wise.
- RL Js? Sattelites had to change the input balance. Good sound quality...
- Is this the good killing box? I believe the distortion is on the original cassette. Garage band! Sounds pretty dead headish. OK, except I don't like the interlude, transitions too and from it suck bad. Some really good riffs. I should work on remixing and cutting and pasting. Enough good to salvage.
- Horses (do about 1 minute and start again). Good sound, good guitar, not very tight though. Lots of vocal goofups. Brian on shaker.
NEW SETUP FROM NOW: I think the line level is much better on the tape now and there is beginning to be too much distortion so I'm going to line, but XLR pro is on mic at about vol. 3/10.
- Maria August 1992 (Solo, Chris went to Ohio). A very early Maria Maria, gosh, my voice sounds young. Perhaps smoking or age has taken its toll.
- Forever till tomorrow (Oct. 1992). With flute thing solo. My Mexican 3 holed flute. Ocarina type thing.
- Just a jam (might have potential in another mind, though I said "pretty cool" about it...what was I thinking, maybe the ones off tape sounded a whole lot better. The ending gets it together a bit.
- Sevillaholic (That is what I named it after listening to it, cause it has a little bit of that Spanish guitar thing going.)
Neil Johnson about 1998 in Hiroshima. Great voice...
- cool song he wrote about a war.
- silent bread (we collaborated on this, chords were Neil's I think words were both of ours.) Good chorus finally. I just can't get the harmony. Sucks bad. Good counterpoint thing. My part is really bad. I could hear it in my head but couldn't get my voice to do it.
