Miguel Falcão takes us through Chris Squire’s setup for Tormato – 505

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius A small selection from
my Tormato collection I asked our friend Miguel Falcão to tell me a
bit about how Chris Squire achieved such a remarkable bass sound
for Tormato. Instead of sending me a few bullet points, Miguel was
kind enough to record a complete audio description of the technical
minutiae of the master's solution. Mark and I listen to this
amazing in-depth piece and discuss a few of the points Miguel
makes. Many thanks to Miguel and if you haven't heard his
staggeringly accurate Yes bass covers, then you are missing out a
great deal. See the links below to remedy that immediately. How did
Chris Squire achieve 'that' sound for Tormato?What technology did
he employ?Was the approach the same on every song on Tormato?

Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert - I
