"If You Had Kept Me There"

Hey please take a listen to a remaster of an older song that was recorded by Orion.  A band I used to use to work with.

    No I didn't do the mix.  I'll have to check on who did the mix,  Possibly Eric Schilling but I' get back to you on that.  The only copies we still have are on two track 1/4" tape.  I was working from cassette copies of the 1/4" tape for the remaster, not your best starting point. 
     
    I've been trying to archive and master the old tapes so I just did the master not the mix.

    I just found out, as I thought,  that Eric Schilling did the mix.

    Considering you were working from cassettes, you did a fine job.  There's not tape hiss to speak of, and the dynamic levels aren't bad.  Of course, it helps to start with a good song such as this one.  Enjoyable listen.

    All the best,

    Thanks Lynn,  funny thing about your avitar.  The keyboard player for Orion had a White Arp Odyssey like the one in your avitar.

    Hi, Kevin,

    This song is absolutely fantastic!  It sounds like you guys were a dynamite band.

    Excellent songwriting and instrumental performances, and truly fantastic vocals.  You also did a great job getting it off the old tape and preserving the quality of the mix.  I've got a ton of old reel to reel tapes from the 80's, full of my old originals, that I'm hoping to do that with someday.

    Anyway, great song, thanks for sharing.  Have a good one!

    Thanks for the comments Bob.  Good luck going throu the old reels.  You should try sooner that later.  I had a couple of reels that left most of their "music" on the playback head.

    cool.  it definitely has the tape "sound" but I don't hear any hiss or "wow & flutter"

    good stuff.

    Sounds so perfect for an era when music was good.  Sounds good and trip back in time.

    Very cool.

    Hey Beagle and Daryl:
     
    Thanks for the nice comments.  Yes, these are a blast from the past for all the band members too that haven't heard these in years.
     
    Thanks again.
