ABBA Engineer Michael Tretow on using varispeed


We overdubbed the whole band using varispeed and couldn't get enough of it! We recorded the drums, bass, piano , guitars, everything twice, most of the time, pairing the tracks in stereo with the de-tuned varispeed track on one of the channels. Thus goes for the vocals as well. We used to record them at different speeds to get different harmonic effects when they were replayed at the correct speed...
