Interview with Roberto Sanchez (Lone Ark) by Reservoir Dub 

Thanks a lot 🙂

Midi maquet (demo)

@@robertosanchez8169 That's what I am going to try. MIDI song then overdub acoustic drums, upright piano, hammond m3, Fender Rhodes, bass guitar, electric guitar, Kete drum and percussions, trombone, trumpet, alto saxophone. I always assumed you were recording digitally on computer and mixing analogue like Alborosie. Because of a video with a screen above the mixer. If your recordings are to that 1 inch 8 track studier it has a very clean sound. A MIDI song is convenient to arrange the song and have a digital metronome. Well done Roberto.

@@robertosanchez8169 Which instruments do you include in the MIDI demo? Just a metronome and piano chords?

@@nzreggae2534 I include piano and bubble (midi) + metronome in the MIDI demo. Then i play the bass idea, which will be recorded again later, after the drum is done. I normally do that maquet and then I send it to a couple of tracks of a tape recorder (studer 1 inch 8 tracks or fostex 1 inch 16 tracks). Then I record the drums, bass, and so on... finally I transfer it all to the computer again in case I need to edit a few touches and also to have the flexibility of a daw. Finally I send the whole thing to the analog mixing board to be mixed there.

Bonjour. How many mics and tape tracks for the drum kit? Do you ever bounce down within the tape machine to free up tracks? 8 tracks could be a limitation to plan for and work around.@@robertosanchez8169
