It seems that most all the M-Tron sounds (with exceptions like thecello) have much poorer signal to noise ratio than the real deal. Idon't recall the Moodies or Crimson Mellotrons sounding hissy inunflattering ways. Mr. Dickson's recordings certainly don't sound thatway.
My recordings were filtered track-by-track through a very good noisereduction system indeed to eliminate the white noise overhead. Pile up40 tracks of that and it would swamp everything. The thing is that whatyou record on Monday has a different sonic picture the following day.They are such fickle creatures.
I just don't much care for the M-Tron sounds. They seem muffled todeath at times and some appear to have been recorded with a mike at theMk II speakers. I mean...there is 'authentic' and there is 'needlesslyhopeful'.....
