so you only work with an 8track? or have more machines involved?

al shabbray 09.20.2008 05:19 PM

the 8 track only functions as an 8 track. just for recording and mixing.
my main machines are a full analog minimoog clone (I love that thing) and a sampler where I arrange things where i know they will be on one track (to save some space on the 8 track), thats the only thing I use it for. and all the guitar stompboxes I love too. my signal path is kept pretty analog, only the recording itself is done on the HD 8track. a yes and some cheap mics and my geetahs/amp.

_slavo_ 09.20.2008 05:25 PM

nice. I'd wonder how much is an 8track like yours.

al shabbray 09.20.2008 05:28 PM

pretty cheap. bought it off of ebay in 2005 for about 600 euros. used with rest guarantee about a year or something. should be much cheaper right now, got a build in cd burner, you can also get it without one and build any cd burner in it you want. thats pretty ace, you can use whatever you want with it. there are a lot of things that could be done better, like with all multitracks I think. but I get used to it, and would never trade it for something bigger...its my trusty 8track (to quote odd nosdam :))

_slavo_ 09.20.2008 05:31 PM

right on.
good night to you and your 8track.
gonna read a few pages of Terry Prattchet and then pass out sleeping.

al shabbray 09.20.2008 05:31 PM

yeah
and so is the album of course :)
the second half of the album is awesome, 6 tracks of pure awesome bliss

al shabbray 09.20.2008 05:43 PM

yes!
I really like the overall visual concept of them. it fits perfectly to their sound, rough but always some beauty underneath. I think they got something in common with the yoof about that

SYRFox 09.20.2008 05:47 PM

Yes
They're really great, I'm glad that I saw them live that summer. The drummer came to give some weird printed pictures in the public and I obtained one, I still keep it preciously :D

al shabbray 09.20.2008 05:47 PM

oh thats pretty awesome, would you mind to scan it if you got time for that?
would really like to see it.

SYRFox 09.20.2008 05:52 PM

oh I'll scan it tomorrow
but don't expect much, it's nothing beautiful, just some strange ultra zoomed in black and white picture of two dudes

al shabbray 09.20.2008 05:55 PM

xerox art stuff, I imagine?

SYRFox 09.20.2008 05:57 PM

sort of - depends on what you mean by xerox art

al shabbray 09.20.2008 05:59 PM

copy machine (forgot the word for it) art. like inside of confusion is sex

SYRFox 09.20.2008 06:02 PM

Hmm well you'll be the judge :D anyway it's still a great souvenir

SYRFox 09.20.2008 06:03 PM

al shabbray 09.20.2008 06:03 PM
