Accessible Depth: some production notes

Some of the older tracks on Accessible Depth were recorded using Mackie’s Tracktion. I’m moving away from Tracktion, though I really do like the software, because the OS has moved beyond it and I’m starting to see some crashes.

The acoustic piano tracks were recorded on Pro Tools 7 (Win) – the resulting tracks were ported over to the studio Mac for further work.

Some of the Fender Rhodes tracks were recorded at Northway church in Macon, GA – that’s a genuine vintage 1972 Fender Rhodes that is in remarkably good shape. The Rhodes parts were played into an Alesis Masterlink, while I listened to the underlying accompanment on an iPod – a bit kludgy, but it worked well.

Other instruments used include a Korg DW8000, Roland RD700sx, plus several VST instruments including Sampletank and Kore Player.

The album was assembled and mastered using Presonus’ Studio One Pro.
