Spaghetti Western Music

This town ain't big enough for the both of us.. Borrowed a mint condition Roland RE-150 Space Echo (1979) and I thought I'd mix things up by doing something that isn't synthesizer-based (although one synth snuck in there). I also haven't done any virtual orchestra stuff in a while, so have brought that back big time in this one. If you followed my channel early on I did a fair few experiments with this kind of thing. To my ears the 70s orchestral recordings are often mono sources that are panned around to make a stereo image, rather than stereo sectional sounds. To emulate this, I put each instrument in mono and panned them quite hard (e.g. cello is on the right with violin 2, viola and violin 1 are left). I also used just the close mics and then put a plate reverb on them, rather than using any ambient or room mics. This also sounds closer to the vibe in my mind.
