Listen "Horrible Intentions - Sparking Toys 2002 home DAW demo"
Episode Synopsis
Sparking Toys 2002. Probably actual first demo we recorded using a basic DAW.
Absolutely awesome guitars by Rachel Johnson, particularly as it was our first DAW recording, using a 300Mhz AMD computer which didn't cope/mpute with much at all. Cubase back then, running within such an environment, was quite simply a digital 4-track. I could never get it to cope with 8 simultaneous tracks, for sure.
Long live 20bit Echo Gina convertors, basically. Poor things coped with so much on their own.
Pictured - Gage onstage at the Bull & Gate as Sparking Toys, circa 2002.
Evan - keys + drum programming
Gage - bass
Mark Rutherford - vocals
Rachel Johnson - guitar
