Yamaha used to run these great ads in the 80s featuring their MT44 4-track and cheap lil CS01 synthesizer.
They called it the “Producer Series.” Since I had a CS01 and an MT44, I decided to see what was possible to do with just these two machines. The MT44 is a regular-speed-deck, so fidelity is not great, but here’s what I whipped up in an hour. I did not use the dolby cos,,,, i hate dolby! There are 6 tracks (snare, bass, and bell line were bounced) and the only other piece of kit is a $25 behringer “Analog delay” pedal that’s fkkn awful. Enjoy!
