Design Notes
We used a Fostex stand-alone hard disk recorder to record almost every gig of our marathon (21 gigs in one month) 2005 Tour of England and Scotland. Three mikes (sometimes two) on the drums. Eight tracks in all. The Fostex was very dependable, and I was pleased with it. The only problem: there's no USB or Firewire output, so the only way to transfer your files for mixdown is to burn a CD, which takes forever and is prone to errors.
I took the recordings to Panda Studio in Clearwater for mixdown. George Harris performed his usual magic, et voila!
Does the Gator n Chips pub in Fulchester really exist? Is that really a gator on the plate, and even if it is, is it really the gator that drank tequila and followed us around on the tour? I'll never tell. However, if you can guess the name of the dog (a lercher, by the way) on the inside cover, I'll send you a free CD!
