Ready For Testing

[billroper]

And that's a test mix for everything on The Grim Roper except for "Dream Rider" (which must be recorded again, because the original track had problems) and "The Candy Tree" (which is a bonus track that needs to be recorded for the first time).

Amy has kindly agreed to come here and lay down a replacement fiddle track for the one that she earlier did against the newer, flanged transfer, so "Dark Moon Rising" won't actually be considered done until that happens. But that's ok. There are a lot of tracks to listen to.

Happy New Year everyone!

Have a great year! And if you need another pair ears, you know where I am.

"Flanged"?

[billroper]

Flanging is an old recording term for adding a bit of a particular kind of distortion to a recording by putting a finger on the flange of the take up reel to cause it to speed up or slow down slightly. If this is the effect you want, it is a fine thing when you do it deliberately.

If it happens accidentally in your transfer because the old tape machine is unreliable, it is not so good. :)

Thanks! I will likely take you up on this shortly.
