THat's a good definition of that. I strugled with those old things back in the early days bar banding. IN fact, did a
whole album with a band on a four track, a TEac 3340 in our
practice space, and since we were doing single track drums
iirc they were submixed on one of those bad boys for a
couple of songs.

Regards,
Richard

I still have a 3340 laying around somewhere...


a long time ago, i developed a 360 degree sound effect using
a 4 track Akai R/R without simusync. I put all four tracks on record. I
would feed a signal into track one. all track outputs were looped to the
next track input. Since it used the playback head, there was a cascading
delay depending on the tape speed.

You then put each output on a 360 degree surround speaker.
Then, play a wild guitar riff and the sound would track around you in a
totally bizzare way. I called it U360.

Today, you could do the same thing with digital delays if you had enough
of them.

Yup, I was doing the WI/MN/Dakota ballroom/bar circuit in those days and
we had a couple of hair dryers just for thawing out the Tapco, the sliders
on my Zero88 lighting board, and the oil in the B3, and those funky sliders
on the PM1000's/700's.. (and some of the chillier barfly's)
