This is one of the tracks from my whimsical album, 'Baklawa Doom' which will hopefully be mastered shortly.
The icon was a public domain picture one stolen from Wikipedia because while I did actually photograph some Baklawa myself, I can't find the photos anymore and the album cover is still in the process of being commissioned.
Technical detail and stuff:
Vocals were tracked to my old TSR-8, rerecorded and edited via punch-ins as necessary and then dropped in to the MSR-24 using sync. Instruments were recorded straight to the MSR-24.
Mixing was done on the 10th of December and was a rather stressful process, not least trying to line up the A807 with only crappy meters to hand and never being quite sure if it was biased right, but it seems to have turned out pretty well for all that, if I do say so myself.
Things I would have done differently:
* Getting guest voices for the news reporting at the start. I tried to arrange that but no-one I knew was able to record them in a timely manner so I resorted to manipulating my own take via Audacity (and also varying the tape speed while it was being bounced)
* More use of the Minimax on tracks 1 and 2 of the album.
