I'm another person who uses both but camie - most people who use a pick will spot that it doesn't give you a fatter sound because it appears to be mroe trebly that way . anyway.... but like what's been said before it all depends on the song and what it needs.
I'll point you to this quote Neil since you're evidently not capable of actually reading anything stripey says.... "These are around a year or two old..."
that must've taken ages to do - read somewhere that the mellotron tapes were a completely different size to the standard audio mastering tapes at the time so you had to send away your tapes to get them sent back in the mellotron tape size! incidentally GMedia Music have released a VSTi version called M-Tron (witty huh?) which is apparently very good...but since i aint used it (or the originals for that matter) i can't say how accurate it will be...
okay - i've finally got their songs running(stupid firewalls *grumble*) i like! Tim's vocals just keep getting better and better. you can't download the songs, just stream them from the site - I think i'll fairly be purchasing this album when it comes out!
any sample based keyboard would be good. have a look into the alesis QS range(first one i can think of off the top of my head) however if you were willing to go for the software route I'd imagine the sampletank 2 XL would be a good option, or reason 2.5. www.provster.com go to the downloads and select a song called "work hard, play hard." the strings section in that was done by the reason 2.5 sampler (not sure whether it's the NN-19 or the NN-XT) but it should give you inspiration! good luck!
so the next time i see you I'm going to leap at you and scream "BUY YOUR THEORY BOOKS DAMN YOU!" and you have no idea who i am so it shall be most entertaining.
but what does playing bass have to do with being a repressed guitarist? and salty - I'm with Tav - i recommend the GSR200 as well - bloody nice bass guitars!
and it's comments like that that make sure the instrument doesn't get taken as seriously as it should be. incidentally salty - what kind of budget are you on?
:Wumpscut:, Squarepusher, ATR, Frontline Assembly, chicks on speed, mindless self indulgence and a fair few others. not sure how many of them are actually classed as electro - but i don't care!
