Re: What tape set should I get?

2003-07-07 by Bernie Kornowicz

Jay,

Have you been to the Streetly Tape Library website and played the 
samples? http://www.blackcat.demon.co.uk/tron/

If I were to get one set of tapes, it would be Ian McDonald Flute on 
A, MKII Violin on B and either MKII Brass or Russian Choir on C. 
Track selector placement is important if you plan on mixing 2 tracks.

Bernie
