That way you're set up to load in your takes right from the repro head. A little time consuming but very smooth. We did attenuate from the comps and hit the tape pretty hard. The music is not heavy rock. but a hybrid of pop, jazz, rock...Wilco-ish but heavily influenced by Tom Waits with a little Kurt Weill thrown in. The dark-ish sound of the tape running at 15 with all those Neve-ish pres really imparts an old/new vibe.
Wilco and Tom Waits huh? Well those are two of the biggest influences on my band as well. Now I'm really curious to hear this stuff. What's the name of this band and where can I hear some of their stuff?
