Technical notes

 Waiting for the train – Ingo Raven (1993)

 All instruments played or programmed by IR, backup vocals by Natalie Brodde and Tina Kok

 This track was recorded on an analog TEAC 8-track reel-to-reel tape recorder (the famous TEAC 8080, 0.5 inches). I used a Fostex analog 16-channel mixing desk which I love because of its “musical” sounding EQs. Reverb was a small Lexicon LPS-1 – a budget home-recording version of the famous Lexicon sound. Other effects include an Alesis Midiverb II for delay and chorus.

A sequencer (Cubase on an ATARI computer) was synced to the tape and controlled the drums and a keyboard in the intro. The drums themselves came from two Alesis drum computers (HR 16 and SR16)  and snare and bass drum from an Ensoniq sampler – one of the things I borrowed for the mix down.  

 Instruments:

 The bass was a noname played into the desk.

The two rhythm guitar tracks were a '64 fiesta red Strat with the bridge and middle PUs. One,played with a pick, was over a Fender amp with an external speaker cabinet with a single 15" JBL speaker. The other one was over my Music Man HD130 212 where I did some tricky phase stuff with the microphones. The lead guitar was the same amp, but a '62 Strat with a maple-cap neck from an old '64 Jazzmaster.

I guess I also used  my Morley Volume pedal and a WD clone of the Orange Squeezer compressor.
