Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
A phaser is an effect you can use on a guitar (or any other instrument/sound signal). Bernie probably had a pedal; you can process the sound through a phaser effect on the computer nowadays. I've used it but it never sounded anything as cool as the opening chords of TIE. I think the double tracking is maybe what gave the sound such an expansive and exciting feeling. It doesn't get old! I still feel that excitement when I hear that song. Well done, Bernie!
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Thanks again, NMB - I don't know anything about the technical things either, but my ears tell me I must like the sound of a phaser. :wink: :grin:
And Bernie doesn't care if you mispronounce his name - just spell it right on the check ... gotta love it!
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
With "basics" Bernie of course refers to basic tracks, which - certainly in the case of the Eagles - means the whole band playing live in the studio and recording the song before they add overdubs and possibly replace some parts. I love this kind of stuff!
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
As for the phaser, I can't remember the sound it produces. Does it split the signal in two and make them go in and out of phase?
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Thanks again, NMB. If Beaudin interviewed Bernie for 77 minutes, he is certainly milking it for all it's worth!

It does, and it can sound dated but thankfully not in TIE’s case. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IjgaCU2mRx4
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
In this latest installment, Bernie discusses “I Wish You Peace” and the polarizing response it tends to elicit. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jQZ5QC...p6-8hVZTZNNgLM
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
As much as I love listening to these I must admit I'm getting a bit tired of these short clips coming out now and then.
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
Yeah = I agree. I understand that Mr. Beaudin wants us to keep visiting his channel, but if there is 77 minutes, he should break it into 10 minute segments. At the current rate, this will be strung out for 2 - 3 months. But, he knows we'll keep coming back until we've heard the whole interview.
Re: Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon
"The song is 'I Wish You Peace' but I'm going to break your f--ing arm if you don't record it." LOL!!!!
I've always thought the song was lovely.
