Hey people, here's a cover of Al Stewart's track "One Stage Before". This one is one of my favourites from Al's catalogue.
I wanted to make my mix have the feel of Alan Parsons' original mix while making it fit the rest of the songs I recorded at TAFE, so the drums have no compression on them at all (only limiting on the final master bus) and the electric guitar was recorded only with a single condenser a foot or so away from the cabinet (instead of a dynamic shoved in front of the speaker cone).
I'm very proud of the synth sounds on this, as I managed to get them pretty close to the original with just the Korg M1, and also the ambient electric piano parts played throughout. Those parts are a combination of a very wet reverb sound and a single-repeat echo, the latter of which is modulated to give the "slowing down" effect (2:25 and 3:29).
