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 mix-down/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 (to eliminate UN-wanted noise from the UTTERLY NOISY guitar Pedal effect I used:The Boss Digital Metalizer),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 mix-down of the second set of O.D.'s,I did pan sweeps to the "Sonic" guitar track,but decided to x-nay that idea here.And I don't know how-being as all my other takes are (more or less) in the key of B-but THIS one for some reason sounds more like it's in C,& actually may be somewhere between C proper and C#!! Just the way I had my guitar tuned at the time,I guess....maybe? No actually,NOW that I come to think about it,the reason was that the stupid RADIO SHACK cassette deck I had at the time as my mix down recorder ran a slight BIT FASTER than the standard 1 7/8 inches per second........WHICH of course means that EVERY SINGLE BOUNCE-BACK from a stereo mix down,was getting progressively SPED UP!!!!! OOOOOPSIES!! Ah,yes the hedonistic early days!!!
