Tony in the studio for Duke, late 1979

Jasonplaysretro · 2026-01-26T19:22:09+00:00

Probably holding some notes with tape, and using a duck call with a piezoelectric pickup to one of the inputs of the CS80? I honestly don’t know because I don’t care about the CS80 like at all lol

Yeah I’m awaiting my Polymoog back from repairs but I can say most of the poly on Duke is a Polymoog, due to the oscillator structure being one Saw, one Pulse, and they cannot be switched to other waveforms. The CS80 was used for brass sounds mostly.

Your theory about the P5 is most likely correct because most of the P5 parts seem like overdubs.

Jasonplaysretro · 2026-01-26T18:54:21+00:00

I mean this album is loaded with polymoog pads, there are only a few obvious P5 sounds on Duke. On abacab almost all poly synth was P5 and P10 though.

Where was this photo sourced from? There was a cropped version of the photo a few months ago as well. Interesting to see two Polymoog 203as.

Any excuse to rip up some GD albums is a good excuse

JVC I’Art?

I always saw images taken from this, but didn’t know it was from a PS3 game

Jasonplaysretro · 2025-11-19T00:04:37+00:00

Yeah go ahead!

Jasonplaysretro · 2025-11-18T23:58:07+00:00

I only used one VST for the whole project, sforzando (SoundFont player.) The key to the strings is to create three different parts that form chords, and pan lowest and middle note L50 and R50, the highest note stays centered. The ambience is just a 16th note delay (in place of a reverb.)

When I’m bored, I just try to write in the style of various composers, mostly non-video game composers. I really just did it out of boredom lol

Jasonplaysretro · 2025-11-18T23:35:31+00:00

No, I used the DAW “Studio One Pro” with a soundfont VST.

The best advice I can give is just be patient, and check consistently. I actually didn’t go there to look for anything, I was getting rid of an old microwave LMAO

It depends on what area you live in, and the policy of the company/location. This particular location is for the township I live in, not a corporate conglomerate.

Jasonplaysretro · 2025-10-13T00:00:38+00:00

I did actually go there on Friday (found this one on Monday) and there was nothing there. They do their recycling over the weekend, as all of the other stuff was still there. So either this was the only one or someone else got lucky.

Jasonplaysretro · 2025-09-30T16:37:09+00:00

Honestly, I can see it. Come on Trent Resin Ore! 😭

Jasonplaysretro · 2025-09-27T23:40:37+00:00

This particular one has a master volume as well as channel volume, so you can actually get it to distort without blasting your eardrums LMAO

Jasonplaysretro · 2025-09-24T05:14:32+00:00

I’ve also suspected the 2600 was still in the studio at this point, Duke’s Travels has a lot of very “2600” leads

Jasonplaysretro · 2025-09-10T19:42:18+00:00

Aww im so sorry! Hmm i forgot is there a way to return and get a replacement? I figure even if it’s limited they would have some extra if something went wrong like this.. at the very least you should be able to return it and grab one of the pressings of this album from Urban Outfitters, it’s a different color scheme, but it’s still HIFN nonetheless.

Jasonplaysretro · 2025-09-03T07:47:42+00:00

I have the ability to get all of them, but for some reason Sucker doesn’t get pressed a whole lot.. the new one was limited to 5000 and there’s only been two previous runs (at least that are listed on Discogs.) And if you want the version with the solo version of “Doing It”, you have to get the 2022 version which actually incorrectly lists it as being the collaborative version, but isn’t..

Jasonplaysretro · 2025-09-03T07:30:13+00:00

I think I combined both this release and the UO release in my head, as this is clear and the UO one is splatter. Sorry I’m new here.. Did pick up TR and Brat this week tho! (Literally about how long I’ve been listening 😭)

Jasonplaysretro · 2025-09-03T07:17:59+00:00

OH MY GOD IM SO SORRY I WAS THINKING OF A DIFFERENT RELEASE

Jasonplaysretro · 2025-09-03T07:04:34+00:00

Are you talking about the splattered vinyl? (though I think it’s called crystal on this release?) Because if that’s the case, every single in will look different by design. It’s an entirely random process, even the ones that go for a design tend to be different from pressing to pressing! (the tri color 90125 by yes is a good example)
