i love when music was not squarily quantized. here is clearly that he goes at a speed in 0:24 before rushing a bit on 0:29 but that's what gives music it's character (and in this particular song, a sense of despair)
True. In fact this is exactly the moment when the drums make its intro into the song. It gives you a clear clue on wich instrument was firstly recorded.
@@mariuspoppFM Wurlitzer, almost no doubt but can't confirm that. At least the part from the beginning of the song to the drums intro and then play the whole of it. But you need more than a metronome (even if you already know the song from a to z). It's the logical way of doing it unless you want to make a lot of takes: rhythmical fist but with a reference. I don't know how Supertramp worked on studio, however, on analogic 24 tracks you work on "economy mode" and the drums are going to "consume" a big part of it being a single instrument.
Wrong. You simply got that off the net. I have a fender twin, JC-120 and the Boss CE-1 vintage pedal. It doesn’t work. Ever wondered why once he left the band, that sound disappeared …?
@@johnscott4693 This is from the producers mouth: Roger Hodgson's Wurlitzer, fed through a Roland Jazz Chorus on previous albums, was DI'd and the signal then split through a Boss chorus pedal to create a semi-straight, semi-modulated sound. "Roger's a naturally gifted musician - everything comes very easily to him - but he always employed a very heavy-handed style for the Wurlitzer," Henderson says. "John used to refer to him as 'Hammer hands'. He was also singing the entire track, miked with a U47, and we ended up keeping his vocal on the end section from the original track."
I believe they recorded the Wurly through a Roland Jazz Chorus amp (if not then definitely some kind of chorus). Has a nice bark to it. This recording has some distortion but i wonder if it was tracked with that or just happened in the transfer or somewhere along the line (probably taken from the Rock Band game or Jammit or something). Either way, gotta love hearing isolated tracks! Thanks for posting.
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible Logical, oh, responsible, practical Then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable Oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical There are times when all the world's asleep The questions run too deep For such a simple man Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned? I know it sounds absurd Please tell me who I am I said, now, watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal Oh, won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable Respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable Oh, take, take, take it, yeah But at night, when all the world's asleep The questions run so deep For such a simple man Won't you please (oh, won't you tell me) Please tell me what we've learned? (Can you hear me?) I know it sounds absurd (Oh, won't you tell me) please tell me who I am Who I am, who I am, who I am Ooh Hey 'Cause I was feeling so logical Yeah D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Digital Yeah, one, two, three, five Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah Ooh, it's getting unbelievable Yeah Getting, getting, yeah, yeah Uh, uh, uh, uh
Amazing ! How did you do that ? I see there are some mistakes and it comforts me to make some when I play Supertramp in concert. Not so much a problem indeed !Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
The bass notes seem to be coming from the right slightly (unless my headphones are reversed). Is it possible the bass notes and chords were recorded separately?
