Miguel Falcão takes us through Chris Squire’s setup for Tormato – 505

YMP Classic Feed – Yes Music Podcast

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius A small selection from my Tormato collection I asked our friend Miguel Falcão to tell me a bit about how Chris Squire achieved such a remarkable bass sound for Tormato. Instead of sending me a few bullet points, Miguel was kind enough to record a complete audio description of the technical minutiae of the master's solution. Mark and I listen to this amazing in-depth piece and discuss a few of the points Miguel makes. Many thanks to Miguel and if you haven't heard his staggeringly accurate Yes bass covers, then you are missing out a great deal. See the links below to remedy that immediately. How did Chris Squire achieve 'that' sound for Tormato?What technology did he employ?Was the approach the same on every song on Tormato? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!
