The Mellotron Group

Nice...and the second one.beautifully done!

Serene and down right stratospheric.

( it's my favorite Mellotron tune actually).

 

What I would give just to be able to play that...even just 8 seconds.

This gave me the same chills when I hear the real deal.  Great job!  And you
do sound like Pinder on Out and In.  Need a drummer?

everyone.)

If it's any use to you, I mocked up the Tuesday Afternoon Mellotron parts
last year when this question came up before - you can hear them here:

On this one I've used the Mellotron Archives CD samples for both voices. The
EQ chops all the top and bottom off, with a bit of a boost in the middle.
There's a bit of reverb on both sides. (Interestingly, after doing this, I
came across a partial recording of Tuesday Afternoon from (presumably) an
8-track version, which had just the Mellotron parts in exactly the same
way.)

For the later Pinderesque sound, as it got mellower, I've used a wetter
reverb (more reverb than dry signal) which gives the sounds you can hear in
this track (which is all M-Tron):

(I did this track just to see how close I could get to the original
recording. Please excuse the singing - I had a dreadful cold at the time!)

Tron sounds of this ilk can be found on other tracks on the website there -

Hope that's of some interest to someone!
