The Mellotron Group

Gary... Always remember the two requirements to be in this group. Thin  
skull & thick skin. You may mess with me to your hearts content. I can dish  it 
out and I can take it. Mel, on the other hand, is thick skulled and thin  
skinned and he sometimes reads my email. He's also often drunk and somewhat  
stupid. So if he comes after you, don't take it hard. All he can do is make 
a  lot of noise.

Why from me? I  love the real ones, but I'd take a fake one too.

The last  time I recorded with a Mellotron (70’s) it sounded fine.  Back 
then  they were borrowed or rented since  
(to address  your jab J) I don’t own one.  Now that  may not allow me to 
have an opinion on this group but  
I have  recorded groups with Mellotron and samples and I spent copious 
amounts of  time listening to Genesis,  
King  Crimson, etc. recorded and live…..and I did stay at a Holiday Inn 
last  night! (US commercial for those abroad).   
Seriously , I have  run them through guitar amps, reverb, and whatever to 
get the sound I wanted  like the albums  
I listened  to.  Sorry if my ears aren’t as Mellotron astute as some here 
but I  wasn’t trying to put down the tape machines  
in any  way….I think you know that…..actually I was expecting that 
response from  Frank! J

In a live or studio mix you would  never hear the difference especially 
after the reverb and  
other processing that is commonly  used on Mellotron tracks.  It will 
almost certainly out  
sell the tape machines but most on  this list will hate it no matter what 
it sounds like.   
Fire away…. J
