This is kind of a last minute attempt, but I’m hoping someone can help me out somehow. The kids in our church are doing a musical on the morning of Father’s Day and it’s called Music Machine. Apparently, it’s originally from the 70′s and not exactly easy to find.
I just now tonight became involved in this production, helping out with sound, and the music track is horrible quality, plus it’s one 30 minute track. I have a CD that was burned from a cassette tape, that was recorded off of an 8-track, obtained through somebody’s friend or relative. So, you can imagine the quality, it’s not exactly digital.
At the bare minimum, I’m going to break this one track down to about 15 different tracks, so I can manage things a little better. Tonight, I downloaded i-tunes to the computer in the sound booth and can run the audio from there now.
Apparently, we have a clean copy of the music and singing, but the straight accompaniment version is what I would really like to get my hands on. I’ve got less than 2 weeks until this production, so time is really tight. If you happen to have this musical lying around on something more recent than an 8-track, please let me know.
Leave a comment or email me or call me if you have it and are interested in forwarding it to me quickly. We can work out the logistics and I’m sure I can cover any related costs.
We did that musical 20 years ago. My wife was the children’s choir director at the time and I was the soundman. We checked our storage of old tapes and didn’t find it. She has a vague memory that we might have had it on reel-to-reel tape. (Yeah, we’re both THAT old!) We have no idea where else to look. Sorry.
Thanks Clif! I thought 8-track dated it, I think reel to reel really dates. Thanks for looking. I’m trying to clean it up a bit with Audacity right now.
Fun stuff!

I am looking for the samme thing – I think. I am hoping to find the background tracks for the music machine. I have the CD but would love to find the music without singing for our performance next June.
Did you ever find that?

Did anyone find the accompaniment tracks? My mother and I host a 2 week music camp every summer and our musical for next summer is "Music Machine" but we have the same problem everyone has, where to find the trax? Please let me know if anyone found it so I can order it.
