Starla: Difference between revisions

The full recording as heard on ''Pisces'' occurred in a single all-night session to meet a heard deadline.<ref>Billy Corgan, ''Pisces Iscariot'' remaster liner notes, July 2012</ref> An epic, mesmerizing track built up around extended solos, "Starla" was produced by [[Kerry Brown]] and recorded through a Soundcraft TS12 board onto a TASCAM MS16 one-inch tape machine. Brown used a Yamaha SPX90 for the reverb effect on Corgan's voice, and an Eventide H3000 Ultra-Harmonizer is responsible for the backwards effect that runs through the first third of the song. "I remember that overdub guitar solo," says Brown. "Just him, the headphones, and the cabinet. You don’t hear that much anymore. You can’t simulate what you can do with a cabinet in front of you. I mean, Billy was bending notes on a mic stand!"<ref>Richard Thomas, "Signal To Noise: The Sonic Diary Of The Smashing Pumpkins", Electronic Musician, October 1st, 2008</ref>
