Are you sure it was 1997? I had already moved to Los Angeles by then and I recall flying back to Texas for this. I could be wrong, but I remember us sorting this stuff out prior to my cross-country move. Good call on the Red Room - I forgot it had changed names. We need to connect.

Good call on the Red Room – I forgot it had changed names.

We need to connect.

Where do I begin... Well this was a very nice surprise to find, and I should thank Bruce and Michaelangelo for forwarding this to me. So a few corrections to the history. It was actually 1997 when we did this, as I was yet to have my studio set back up in 1996. And the club we auditioned it at was what followed Ohms. It was "The Red Room" where Bruce was the Production Manager. The rest of your recollection is spot on. We did use Cubase as the sequencer (my short period of departure from using Logic), a Mackie 1604 mixer, 2 Akai samplers (s3000, S2000) a Novation Bass Station rack, Roland Juno 106 and several other outboard fx units. I remember the grueling painstaking process of cutting up the Ojays bassline into the individual notes so that we could get it to fit the tempo of the track. This was before the days of programs such as Acid and Live, so it all had to be done by making the notes fit the tempo. Ouch! My head hurts just thinking about it. I could do what took at least an hour in less than a minute now. To cool. It made my day when I saw this! Scot WOW!
