From the Vault, vol. 4
Here’s another one from the vault. I’ll call this one Movie Music, not that is was. Just that it sounds like it could have been. Sounds like this one was all sequenced, no live instrument tracks.
This was circa 1990. My setup was Voyetra DOS-based MIDI software, on an original model IBM PC/AT. I think it had a 20 meg drive in it, and a 5 1/4″ floppy. This was driving a Roland MIDI interface card, a Kawai Digital Synth and an Alesis drum machine. Along with this I had a Fostex cassette 4-track and a mixer. I’d lay a synch track on the cassette and then have 3 audio tracks I could add. Sometimes I even merged tracks 1 & 2 to 3 and then could do another extra audio track. Mastered it all to a regular deck on my stereo. Sounds so old fashioned now.
