The Mellotron Group

I meant for the purpose of holding a heavy keyboard up.
Didn't mention sound in my posting, fellas.

    Another reason a real Mellotron is better than the digital gadget, in my opinion.


  I have said this before and will say it again. It is not the 'digital' business that makes it good or bad - after all, that is just a recording mechanism like tape - a means to an end.  However, it's the tampering that people feel compelled to do with the digital recordings that bothers me. Interpolating. Noise reduction. Tuning. EQing. Normalising. 

  So far I have found no one anywhere who has just recorded the instrument 'as is' and left it like that, warts and all. 'Honesty' aside, it would just sound better.
