King Tubby used old nasty metallic reverbs as well. He used many different spring and chamber reverbs in alot of his productions. Some homemade, some not. > the irony >now is that a good tape delay can cost many hundreds of >bucks... almost enough to buy a good lexicon digital unit... Well, i dunno about that. A decent tape delay can easily be had for under $200 without much effort. That might get you close to a low end LXP unit, but just barely. And why buy a lexicon if you want a tape delay? OR Vise-versa for that matter? >the musicians i respect the most know what to do with a studio full of >expensive gear. There is something to be said for that to be sure. But of course there is also something to be said about making great music with an empty room except for a few inexpensive pieces of gear. I respect good music if it is made in hans Zimmer's studio or with Licoln Logs and a mic. 8) >> in a lot of people's records these days, it's the unintentional, the >> background fizz and clips, that are more interesting than the >> composed music itself > >these people should give up and learn how to write proper tunes then, >dammit. :) Ha!
