I released a home-produced music compact disc in June. It's my first
disc and I wanted to do it myself... I'm a canadian (Rimouski, Quebec)
dental student graduating in some months, but I play the guitar,
harmonica, keyboard and some others instruments, including my voice! I
purchased my IIgs some years ago because I was impressed by his audio
features. I add a Sequential Systems 4 Mo RAM GS board, an Apple SCSI card
rev C, some hard drives and a floptical drive in the last years.
So I got on my IIgs some months ago to put down synth tracks of the
orchestration: drums, percussions, bass, strings, keyboards, flutes, etc.
I used mainly Olivier Goguel's NoiseTracker 1.0 with AE AudioAnimator for
playing sampled sounds plus stereo-ready accompaniement tracks and System
6's synthLab with Opcode Studio+2 MIDI interface for controlling my
entry-level Kaway MS710 keyboard-sound module (with the help of my Newton
MessagePad 2000 using MIDI-X for a track modified at last time.) These
stereo-ready tracks were then put on a digital audio tape.
I then add accoustic instruments (Citation accoustic guitar, Cort
Effector electric guitar with DOD FX53 effect pedal, Tower Harmonica,
Casio DG-10 digital guitar) and voice tracks (dubbed for chorus or using
Digitech Vocalist for harmony) within 3 evenings in a traditionnal
recording studio located in Universite Laval, Quebec, with the help of a
sound technician. We did the final mix on the third evening from the
8-tracks ADAT to the final master dat (according to notes taken on
MessagePad and then used to print the time log on paper for the press
plant.)
The lyrics were captured and formatted using the Newton MessagePad,
Teach, Hermes and AppleWorks GS, but the final full-color page layout was
made by my brother on a Mac Performa 5200 with ClarisWorks (the
photographs were scanned on a Mac 7200 and Agfa Arcus II flatbed scanner
using Photoshop, the only expensive products borrowed for this project!!!)
1000 discs were then pressed by Disque Americ with booklets printed
by Graphiscan Quebec.
This was really an exciting project for me and I found it so cool
that I'm planning another recording in the next months! It also the proof
that it's possible to do interesting things with Apple II and others Apple
products, and with a really small budget...
Apple II forever!
