I was searching for an older classical piece that I had recorded back in the 80's. I found it...but, the tape had a couple of other songs on it that I had completely forgotten about. The first song was "One". http://www.sonicmusic.net/One_Old.mp3 I was using my Prophet 5, DX7, Minimoog, a Yamaha RX11(?) drum machine, and a Tascam 4 track cassette recorder. My synths have been giving me the cold shoulder since I haven't paid them much attention lately. So.... I foolishly decided to redo the song (and OF knows that's usually not a good idea....the original just has "something" that just can't be duplicated)....wait.....was there a midi file?.....nah....this was *way* before I even knew what one was. Gotta play it by hand one part at a time. I tried to re-create the stuff I had played over 20 years ago note for note...including solos....ugh....and the vocals ! ! ! It was tough to clearly hear each part from the crappy cassette tape and it took me a week just to get close. On a good note: All my Prophet 5 soundbanks (120 programs) are stored via cassette tape (sounds like mangled chipmunk garbage). I got tired of going back and forth loading and unloading banks to try to find the right sounds for this dang piece. So I did a test: I recorded all the soundfiles off the cassette into different tracks of Sonar...all appropriately labeled....I tested them all and they work great! So instead of looking thru the tapes forever, I have the files right before my eyes. I need a beer...... Just checkin' to see if yer' still here ;) Poly
