No fancy stuff Fritz. A freebie Voxengo Tube Amp Plug in, and the cheap but wonderful Valhalla Room Reverb. The Tube Amp allowed me to
 
dial in what I thought was just the right amount of distortion and drive.
 
I D/I'd the tron directly into the computer via a Steinberg MI2 sound box, using a very early version of Cubase LE, which I'll probably have to
 
update when I eventually have to change to Windows 7 from XP which is currently stable and working great. Grrr!
 
Note. Because I was having motor problems for a while, I did try some of the lead tron parts on the 4000D initially, but I replaced with the
 
m400 because the sound of the machine simply had more bite to it. Thanks Martin and John btw for a great job replacing the motor for me.
 
It was a joy to do.
 
Cheers.

Yes, very well done.  Great recording of the tron.  Andy, what was your audio path in and out for the tron, plugs etc?

 All me, so no-one else to blame! Lol.
