Technical Information

(Taken from the album inlay.)
Sounds Digital was created using the very latest in sythesizer technology. Equipment used includes the following...

Synths

• Kurzweil K2000
• Korg O1R/W
• Yamaha TG77
• Akai S950
• Alesis SR-16
• Roland D-110

Effects and EQ

• Alesis Quadraverb, Microverb III
• Aphex Aural Exciter type B
• Ibanez GE3101 31 band graphic EQ

Mixing

• SECK 1882

Analogue Recording

• Fostex B16

Digital Recording

• Casio DA7
• Casio DA-R100

Tracks 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 & 8 were recorded directly from synth to DAT with no analogue recording involved, meaning the quality is absolutely second to none!

All tracks were sequenced using Music-X on an Amiga A500 computer.

Interestingly a mistake was made with the mastering of this album. When recording to DAT a high pass filter was added as normal. The reverse effect (a low pass filter) should be added on making the master. However, it was forgotten so the album came out much brighter than expected. A lot of people have perceived this as better quality although in reality it has lost something in the mid/bass end.
