The Mellotron Group

Bruce,

I have the Russian Choir and I like it a lot. I've only played the 
St John's Wood Church Organ on the M-Tron and it sounds very good, 
so I can only imagine how much better it sounds on a Mellotron. Does 
the Watcher mix sound like an even mix of the MkII 3 Volins and MkII 
Combined Brass? I wonder if it sounds any different than mixing 
adjacent tracks of the same instruments. I would love to hear it if 
you could post a sample.

I'm also looking forward to your review of the Angry Strings, French 
Horn (Rick's?) and Chamber Woodwinds. Seems like a great 
combination. Have fun lacing them. I did it once. A word of caution 
though: if you have cats, lock them in another room while lacing.

Bernie
