Robert Schneider's Studio Equipment
In a Facebook post, Robert Schneider is shown using the Tascam 414 Portastudio MKII for recording.
They used this to record "On Avery Island." The following is a quote from Jeff Mangum's website:
in the fall of 94, jeff returned home to ruston to make his first attempt at recording “on avery island", alone on his 4-track, (which was a tascam 424 portastudio, with sm57, just in case you were wondering) anyway he finished these two songs, and although loving what he had made, decided he needed his friend robert to record with if he were to ever have any hope of completing an entire album (which they proceeded to do, on a fostex A4 reel to reel 4 track)
As the band’s stature grew, Schneider became an avid collector of vintage musical equipment. In 1999, his Ampex MM-1200 tape machine—a giant piece of analog recording equipment that was integral to the album he was working on—broke down. The repairman made a suggestion: Learn how to fix it yourself. Schneider had always fiddled with electronics; as a kid, he had a RadioShack electronics experiment kit and a bunch of primitive recording gear that he constantly toyed with.
In the user-uploaded photo, Robert Schneider is seen using the Fostex MN-50 5 Channel Mixer/Compressor. The setting appears to be Will Cullen Hart’s house, suggesting it might belong to either artist.
