Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

While getting acquainted with my tron, I decided to play each note
and listen carefully for anomolies, or "character" as it is called
in tronspeak.

The flutes sound very nice, exactly like they do on Uriah
Heep's "Come Away Melinda". However, two notes stand out from the
rest, being a little harsher. It sounds like the violins on a
neighboring track are coming through slightly and mixing with the
flutes. It's not a bad sound, but is it normal? It could be a
misaligned head or tape guide.

Also, on the violins, there were some odd thumps and something that
sounds like a clock chiming. Maybe if I keep listening longer I
will hear a barking dog too?

Regards,
Jim
