Subject: RE: [AN1x] OT: How were the sounds made on 10cc's "I'm Not in Love"

Hi Linda,

This will be of absolutely no help at all, but I am a great fan of 10cc in
all their various permutations. Godley and Cr�me�s explorations into the
world of video were quite stunning, and while all four were together they
created (in my opinion) some of the best songs to emerge from the seventies
especially with �Sheet Music.�
Kevin Godley and Lol Cr�me were perhaps the most innovative of the band, but
between them Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart made some timeless songs.
They certainly influenced my musical career.

I have no idea how they created those sounds on that lovely song, �I�m Not
In Love�, but you can get close to it by mixing some Korg choiral sounds
with some real female human vocals, and possibly treating the natural sounds
with a touch of Antares Autotuner, plus some lush reverb and possibly a
slight smidge of chorus. One technique I often use is to record the sounds
of a vocal chorus line in layers from left to right, and pan them
incrementally from either side.

Oh, and I use an AN1x, so I hope it�s not too far O/T.

Best regards to all,

John

I listened to this the other and remembered how much I liked the tune.

How were the sounds made? Pretty impressive, considering that the tune
was released in 1975.

I have some synths that can make the airy vox sound I am referring to,
but was curious as to how it was done on this particular recording.
