We had to rerecord all the pitched instruments - the MIDI stuff was easy to fix as I just transposed them in SEQ+ and we redumped them to tape, but there were no decent audio pitch transposers in those days so we had to book more studio time and redo all the strings (real violins, etc.), oud, santor, etc.Įventually my orchestration clients realized that they could buy their own computers and software and learn how to do what I was charging them for. I remember one time the arranger forgot to verify the key of the song with the singer and she couldn't sing it. Then we'd record the acoustic parts (hand drums and other percussion, orchestral tracks) then finally the singer would show up and perform his or her vocals. I would have them come over to my apartment and we would record all the MIDI parts on Sequencer Plus and then take them into a 24track studio and bounce them to tape. In the '80s I enhanced my engineering income by working with a number of Middle Eastern composers/arrangers. I had that too! It was terrific! I could sync my DAW (Seq +) up to a 24 track machine and add acoustic instrumentation & vocals.
