The Mellotron Group

We have some great staircases at the museum and I have payed in them and
run some mixes through! We did some vocal tracks with Cathedral in the
Palace theater staircase long ago - nothing beats the acoustic method. I
have heard great things about UA's plug-in simulation of the EMT-something
you might want to check out Tony-i hope to in the near future!

 John,I like the copicat if it has tubes- the Roland works great but the
preamp doesn't do anything for me. I use a Dynachord and an ep2
echoplex..
