Hiya Folks,
I've posted this in a few forums on the net and wanted to include it here.
So,
I just picked up a cheap LA-610 and began tracking through it the other night. I was concerned how tracks would stack with each other.
I've read some dislikes to the pre and could return it if I didn't like it, so I decided to write a song featuring the LA-610 as the sole preamp. Mixing and production followed as creatively as possible to put the preamp into a diverse work scenario with ITB processing and mixing following. La-610 settings were all over the board to get many different sounds to mix together.
All said and done, I spent about 4 hours on the song writing, tracking, mixing and production.
My girlfriend called, lost in her car, while I was recording and that inspired the song lyrics & title:
