Re: Recording a Mellotron

2005-03-25 by mellotrongirl

I find a disc produced by Visconti, it doesn't matter to me if the
group is otherwise unknown...I've still got to check it out as I
consider his name important. The bit about properly recording a B-3
w/Leslies on the same site was quite a read!  

So many synths these days have their own built in stereo
expander/oscillations/enhancements right through the headphone and
output jacks. Then there's the stereo Optigan--keys in one speaker and
special FX/rhythms in the other.

I'd like to hear a Tony Clarke take on the recording of a Mellotron.
Pinder I'm sure is up on that as well. It's just that Visconti has
been around the block, whereas Clarke rarely departed from the
Threshold camp.
