The Mellotron Group

I'm with Gino on this one, as one side feels louder than the other. I did not audition the track in mono, as that would give a little more indication about the process involved.

I have done the tape echo live, using a 1/4" reel-to-reel. One side dry the other the delayed echo. That does work awesome for spanning Gino!

Tape echo. Easist done with an open reel deck or two


Your double tracking could be spill


BIg plate reverbs can mess up sound  like that too.

      Facts about how Mike Pinder used effects on his mellotron was a technique called "spanning". He used one channel "dry" and the other with pure reverb. It then spans across the sound stage. 
      Sounds like they are doing the same here. Listening closely I heard the right side first then the left causing this "spanning" effect. That's my take.

A question for those with talented ears: I'm going to put some Tron down on a tune recorded by a mate, and I was hoping to get a sound similar to that which Bob Ezrin pulled off on Caroline Says II on Lou Reed's Berlin. Trouble is, I've tried a few things and nothing sounds quite like it.


Here is Ezrin doing his thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TOlgGUcWaE#t=90


Obviously it's double tracked, but there is something very odd about the filtering. Anyone got any ideas?
