RE: MALIK on multi-track recording
In about 1977 or 8 I recorded a clarinet quintet or sextet of mine called
"Field Effects."  There was only one clarinetist.  I did a mono recording 
with a very old coverless vacuum tube amatuer tape recorder and a better
Sony cassette drive.  I built a monaural passive mixer to help.  I conducted.
This was in a very reverberent empty bedroom.  We used a click-track that 
I had painstakingly created with a metronome in real time.  Playing the click
track on right channel of the reel-to-reel tube machine, my clarinetist friend
Ralph (now in the L.A. studios) would play one of the parts, regular Bb,
alto, bass, double bass, or Eb, recording both tracks onto the cassette.
There was no mic-line mix on the machines.  I don't remember how I did it.
