His band has kind of gone after that 'low-fi' sound in the past anyway. Their first album is very low-fi - recorded on a four-track (tape-hiss), mixed down onto mini-disk (some compression) with beats recorded using re-birth and sampled out through a very low quality sound-card (he left the CD and microphone outputs enabled so that increased the noise massivly). But still, it's the music itself that is most important and as a result 'Reckless Engineers' (the album title) is an excellent album! I think a small amount of tape hiss especially creates a nice warm sound anyway! cheers, mat "Move around folks, push it back there, move along, shows over folks, let him breath, step lively" John Linnell Surface Inspection Ltd www.surface-inspection.com _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-08-10 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
