Fw: [Mellotronists] Goodbye

2003-07-10 by tony

Did anyone listen to his clip? I did, liked it.and privately told him so. I
don't recall seeing him post anything before, so I have to wonder why he
left.

Hi Folks-

I've never said hello either. I suppose I should so, "hello"!

Fw: [Mellotronists] Goodbye

2003-07-10 by Mike Rivers

Hello All,
Well, here's the only posting I could find:
7/7/03
**********************
Hi,
My name is Brady Arnold, and I run a (Prog) studio project called
Vutdevuk...
I'm not rich by any means so I don't own a real mellotron, but I
still was able to use samples on half of the new album... I was
wondering if anyone would like to hear a clip of a song, and maybe
even give me some feedback... the new CD should be out some time in
early August... If anyone would like to hear the clip then click ,
or cut, and paste the link into you browser.... Thanks...

I kind of like the cut...   but, the tron sounds are a
perfect example of the differences between the real
thing and not the real thing...

Kind of sounds like Wakeman 2003....

Dear Mr. Zappa (or is that Mr. Boggs?),
I would tend to disagree. I also listened to the cut, and although I admire immensely anyone producing this type of music (cheers Brady!), the sound that is supposed to be "mellotron" to me sounds nothing like a mellotron at all, whatsoever (is the wording clear enough?) Sounds like a string synthesizer (which is fine by me, as I also like those sounds.) But you shouldn't use this as a basis for eliminating the possibility that samples (not the real thing) cannot sound like the real thing.
I have A/B'd my "real thing" (M400 #1001) against my samples, and after equalization and verb (and any other appropriate but necessary studio magic) can obtain equally pleasing results, at least to me. Important to start with the right samples.
Cheers,
roc
P.S. Mr. Arnold, if you are still listening, we should talk.
P.S.2. ; Pet peeve. Mellotronists "hung up" on whether it is real or not.

Roc..  You are correct...  I didn't mean to
generalize..

Mr. Arnold's mellotron samples (his own words) sound
nothing like a mellotron...

Mr. Zappa is fine...   or just Dave...
