Me: Do you like playing live or studio?
robinguthrie to wscollective : I enjoy most things I do but when I'm performing I wish I were in the studio and vice versa. I could use a holiday though. I'd enjoy that

Me: What is the kit of Harold Budd?
robinguthrie : harold? he has no 'set up'.... just uses what's at hand

wscollective to robinguthrie : Of all places to live, why France? Service is better in California and the chicks dig yer accent,
robinguthrie : I live in France because I don't care for england too much... And, anyway, my house is here
robinguthrie : coffee in england? euwww, there's another reason I live in France

Somoneelse on the forum: Did you use plug-ins on your older CT material?
robinguthrie : didn't have no plug-ins in 1985, you know

wscollective to robinguthrie : my last question, alors je suis finis avec ici.. harrassing. I heard you used a Lexicon 960L and ran everything through at SFsoundworks when tracking for the BTDB and ATNF sessions with Budd? Is that true?

robinguthrie to wscollective : I didn't treat anything at soundworks, I only tracked there.. dry .. All processing chez moi .... oh, and it's eventide, not lex ...

HEINMILLER to robinguthrie : robin do you consider your music sexy, like so many of us do?
robinguthrie : Oh my
HEINMILLER to robinguthrie : YAY ITS THAT FAMOUS ARPEGGIATOR EFFECT
HEINMILLER to robinguthrie : what synth is that from robin?
robinguthrie : not a synth
HEINMILLER to robinguthrie : geetar?
robinguthrie : it's a delay unit


Oh, one last thing he said he does a lot of harmonic stuff using multitap delay.
lost that bit in the copy/paste, somehow.
Forgot to ask if he is using the eventide TDM protools plugs or their hardware units.


So, there you are, straight from Robin Guthrie, cheers to all.

Wow, Ethereralgreta,

Talk about getting it from the horses mouth. That was simply fantastic. I'm glad you decided to join our little forum here. I love that you didn't just take anything at face value. You went right to the source. Bravo!!!!!!

As far as him using Eventide the only thing that I've seen that he used was an H3000. And there are definitely modulation delays all over his recordings, because I use them all the time on my music and I hear alot of similar effects going on with his guitar that I use. Especially because I use an Eventide h3000 too.

It's funny that he didn't use the Lexicon 960lL that the studio had. I know he likes to use the pitchshifting in the Lexicon for widening his signal. I guess when you have your own boutique gear at home like he does, why worry about it. I guess what he said in his weblog was true. That he mixed the record at home.

Once again big Props for going the extra mile.
Rock on!
