Old TubaChristmas 4-track Recordings
Posted: Sun Dec 06, 2020 9:51 pm
Recent conversations about virtual Tuba Christmas inspired me to post a series of tunes. I have a number of TC recordings I made a few years ago while home alone at Christmas drinking homebrew. Not perfect (the hefeweizen was GOOD), but it serves as proof that with inexpensive equipment, you can make music and entertain yourself at the same time. It’s excellent practice for intonation and timing, especially when there’s no click track. And the tracks feature no effects, no overdubs. It is what it is.
Those wishing to play, but are without opportunity (can you say, “Coronamadness?), can have a musical outlet that doesn’t require expensive computers, mics, interfaces, etc. It doesn’t have to be TC quartets- it can be anything. It could be Walter Sears duets, @knuxie55 Ken Friedrich duets, your own arrangements, or whatever you want to have fun with.
I’ll post several others in this thread as I upload them.
On this particular tune, all parts were played on a Miraphone 6V Firebird with Josef Klier T4D mouthpiece.
Yamaha 4 track cassette recorder
Shure SM 48 microphone
