Re: Recording the M4000

Re: Recording the M4000

2009-10-04 by lsf5275@aol.com

Dan Britton ( Birds& Buildings) came by yesterday to put the M4000 through its paces. He is recording tacks for two upcoming CDs for two different projects. One is avant-prog and the other a more orchestral approach. Guess which one this was for.
Here is a video of him playing the St. John's Wood organ. He had already laid down M300-A strings, 8-choir, Mark II Brass, Tenor Sax and Bass Clarinet for this tune. You can hear the keys banging quite a bit but that it because I was very close to the M4000 and the music tracks were coming out of a set of cheap Dell computer speakers behind me. Dan didn't want to play through the studio monitors for some reason, but you can still here how fast the M4000 can be played. Obviously there is no keyboard noise on the recorded tracks.
I will be posting more from this recording session later.

I would like to hear the finished product. Nice time signature. The tune has a Gentle Giant feel.
