Conceived May 1989. This is Take 1 DAW Mix 1. Recorded May 1989 Yamaha MT-100 & October 2016 Sonar X1
The very first take of my "Beethoven-cum-Bolero' thrash metal song!
Initial tracking was
1) - Main Rhythm drums from preset drum machine song onto mono (!!) track;
2)-Distortion Rhythm Guitar;
3)-Lead Guitar &;
4)-Harmony Lead Guitar
Then the usual mix-down to stereo/bounce-back scenario, followed by
5) Faux "Bass" Guitar; and then
6)- A "Sonic" Harmony Lead Guitar
Then another mixdown/bounce-back, and finally
7)-Additional Drums/Cymbals fills (but NO COWBELL!!) tracked Stereo.
Transferred this into DAW from ADAT Archive tapes of all 3 separate sets of overdubs
Then did some editing, some general clean up, nudging & lining up stuff that was out of sync
Made a copy of the DRG & put in a clip off-set & detune patch for it to thicken things up
Put in an Amp Simulation & Compressor patch for the "Bass" & various subtle EQ adjustments here & there.
Back when originally tracked, on the mixdown of the second set of Overdubs, I did pan sweeps to the "Sonic" guitar track, but decided to x-nay that idea here.
