Another beautifuljob Frank. I hope you do something similar with the 4 trackrestoration. The sound track
was brilliant Mike. I have listened to this on your site several times before and reallyenjoyed it. Can you tell me how
you recorded it(voiced, # of tracks, equipment used, etc.)?
There is a fair bit about Mars and others on the main mellotronworksweb page. The hardware is
∗ Mellotron M400 #996
∗ Mackie 1202 mixer
∗ Alesis MIDIverb (though most sounds were recorded dry)
∗ PC running ACID Pro, plus a bunch of plug-ins, including AdobeAudition which I used for track-by-track noise reduction.
All pretty simple.
Here is a run down on the sounds on the 24 tracks:
∗ Brass: 3 x Mk II brass, 'Rick Bleckta' French Horns, half speedFrench horn (for 'tuba'), St Johns Wood Church Organ (processed for'brassiness', and doubled an octave below), 2 x GC3 brass, Mk II brass,processed and muted Mk II brass
∗ Strings: 'Louise Davis' pizz. cello, 2 x Mk II strings, stringsection, 'Cyndee Lee Rule' viola
∗ Woodwinds: Mk II flute, clarinet, half speed clarinet, coranglais/oboe, bassoon
∗ Percussion: concert snare (sample), Mellotron gong, timpani/roll(samples from a slack and detuned tom-tom )
