Ether Diver<p>One early decision here set the course of much of the record. Coincidentally, I wanted to use a second sound from the <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/opsix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opsix</span></a> while I was in the pretty early stages of the process. To accommodate this, I decided to just record the part from the opsix and chop it up as a <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/sample" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sample</span></a>. To record it, I decided to use the <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/ReelToReel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReelToReel</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/TapeRecorder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TapeRecorder</span></a> and, on the spot, decided I'd record *all* the main parts through the same machine.</p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/PsychedelicGhostStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PsychedelicGhostStories</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/ProductionDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProductionDiary</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MusicProduction</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/Workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Workflow</span></a></p>
