sweetening
by Matt Schleffer 16 Mar '04

16 Mar '04

This is the 1st legitemate music question I have had for you aunty... kinda funny though.. he he. No, but seriously with sweetening you patch the trumpet into a speaker at the base of the stairwell or end of a corridor and mike the result at the end of the hall... then you layer this back over the original. Thats about the only trick I've heard of back in the day.. that and zepellin's backward echo. I'm sure all can be reproduced but what have you tried aunty? I mean I don't know shit so I ask of thee for comments. >christ you great wazzock >recording techniques >for you :: >i recommend -- )) (( c[_] bLiP www.justablip.co.uk On 16 Mar 2004, at 18:33, Matt Schleffer wrote: >I have a listening recommendation for you miles davis fans....

RE: [Orb] natural and not so natural effects

Nice plagarized report... at least you put in footnotes. I think sweetening would mean layering those mic'd tracks over the original, not just setting John Bonnom's drum set up in a foyer. the Bonzo's Montruex/ Moby Dick thing is TITS! >From: "a0jade" <a0jade(a)btopenworld.com> >Reply-To: What were the skies like when you were >young?<orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >To: "What were the skies like when you wereyoung?" ><orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >Subject: [Orb] natural and not so natural effects >Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2004 23:39:52 -0000 > >great idea that to obtain reverb from a natural enviroment >i suppose the larger the room, a higher power play back system would be >needed ! - > _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?

natural and not so natural effects
by a0jade 16 Mar '04

16 Mar '04

great idea that to obtain reverb from a natural enviroment i suppose the larger the room, a higher power play back system would be needed ! - i wanted to do that years ago when me an my mate went in this long tunnel sureal sound !!- you cant get effects like that via digital yet ! ..maybe??hehe = - the oposite to this is a anechoic chamber that has no reflections !!! so you can record your dry signal in this then playback via a system in a reverb chamber then mix the two together ! of course the speaker dosnet have to be stationary - walk about the room with it whilst recording in stereo - hang a speaker off a rope (whilst connected-hehe) and swing it about madly whilst reording with mics placed all about the place - maybe one spring loaded on your dog! - record as you throw your speaker off a bridge as a train collides into your mix for a 'train'sient finale!! The first commercially available effects, tremolo and vibrato, appeared in the late 1940s. The confusion regarding the difference between tremolo (which modulates volume) and vibrato (which modulates pitch) persists to this day, as evidenced by the use of both terms to refer to a guitar's whammy bar. The engineering behind many of these early effects was quite imaginative. For example, DeArmond's tremolo used a motor-driven wheel to rock a small tube of mercury that opened and closed a circuit, thus modulating the volume. Leo Fender's tremolo circuit, which he called "vibrato," used a low-frequency oscillator to pulse a light source directed at a photoresistor. Fender also produced a combination vibrato and reverb unit called the Dimension IV, which used the questionable technology of an electric motor rotating an oil-filled can in front of a light source. Stand-alone echo and reverb units were next on the scene. Les Paul created echo effects using modified tape recorders in the '40s, but dedicated tape echoes-with names such as Eccofonic, Echolette, Echoplex, and Copicat-didn't appear until the '50s. The Binson Echorec had one of the more exotic designs, using a magnetic disk rather than magnetic tape. However, it was engineer Ray Butts who developed one of the first commercially available tape-echo units, for use in his EchoSonic amplifiers-a combination that helped define the early guitar sounds of Chet Atkins, Scotty Moore, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, and Luther Perkins. Mechanical reverb units were the result of attempts to emulate the sound of echo chambers. Rather than using a room for reverberation, manufacturers attached transducers to large metal plates or tightly coiled springs. The Hammond Organ Company developed one of the first spring reverbs and licensed it to Fender, who issued the GA-15 Reverb unit in 1961. theres morehere if you want it !!! http://emusician.com/ar/emusic_reexamining_vintage_analog/ john

Sounds like adding a touch of reverb to me. They used to have these sound chambers with a mic on the floor and speaker on the ceiling or vice versa and they'd raise the ceiling to change the chamber size. Worked a lot like a Lexicon except it cost a fortune and was a three story tall big waste of space. There was this one band that recorded all of its songs in different spaces around the world. Mediocre prog stuff. Can't remember... Nope. Now Abbey Road studio. THERE'S a space you can identify immediately. I heard this record by the Auteurs that was recorded there. You could hear the Beatles albums in the reverb. ok, bye ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ Rich Folks and Huge Corporations care about YOU!

Best of List /Plaid
by Matt Schleffer 16 Mar '04

I set up Plaid best of list. Its very truncated due to the fact the song names are very odd, my Double Figure album is half cracked (all my fav's on the 2nd half of that album) plus the fonts on 'Spokes,' although cool, take a sugar cube full of acid to decipher. Who's the smartass who's best of orb song is "Numb Nuts Cydonia Sucks?" Lord knows I would never do that, I hold Cydonia in the highest regard..... ahem... On really romantic nights of self, I go salsa dancing with my confusion. - Speed Levitch _________________________________________________________________ All the action. All the drama.

I found this list on the net, a website trying to list the best tracks of all artists: http://bestof.dominiek.be/ The site is rather new so not a lot of artists are already in there... The Orb is even absent! Anyway, everybody who subscribes may fill in his/her top 10. Reg F
