The Yamaha CP-70 or was it an 80? (as used on So)

How did you approach recording the CP-70? Since it was such a big part of So, was there any special attention paid in tracking and mixing this fine instrument?

Thanks,

Philosi,

It was a CP70 and we recorded it thru this gray Boss Chorus foot pedal. Used the console (SSL E Seies) mic pre's with a tad of equalisation to tape.

I have mentioned in other threads that the CP70 was combined with guitars and other keys fairly often to make up a composite sound.

In the mix, it was mostly light sculpting of the eq and placement to achieve the desired affect.

20 years of cherishing the Roland Dimension D and all along it was the grey Boss chorus pedal???

philosi,

Yes I hate to burst that bubble but its true. But you can take comfort in the knowledge that the Dimension D made a significant impact in the making of this record ,including the piano.

And PG still has it at Real World, now that is devotion.

Thanks Kevin,

With that said, the Dimension D and the backup Dimension D in the storage closet are safe from the Ebay chopping block. But as we all experience in this business, the "new kid on the block" (in this case a grey Boss chorus foot pedal) is going to come along and charm everyone for a while.

All the best.
