Hi everyone,

Here's my first vocal cover (apart from the Quando thingamajig) recorded using only the PSR-3000 for instrument sounds...

It's called Almost In Love

Beguine style... extra instruments include Live Piano, Class.Flute and Sweet Trombone.

I hope you enjoy it

All the best,
Rich

Rich.....

Another Excellent performance as usual, looks like you took the 3k buy the horns my friend and made it talk. Simply Amazing!!

Thank You

Rich,
Great job . I especially liked the occasional piano fills - they sounded great in the mix. The intro was superb too. Thanks for sharing.

Do you still have the Quando thing online? I'd like to give that a listen

Just one word need to describe this one "Outstanding"

Excellent, as usual! Rich, could you tell us your recording method? I think you did once before, but it's among the 'vaporized' posts... thanks.

Couldn't have said it better.

You have a wonderful voice...And you play well too.

I hope you're making some money using your talents. Cause you definitely deserve it!

Donny, thanks very much... I'm glad you enjoyed this! Still lovin' the 3K...

Zuki, many thanks for the listen and feedback... much appreciated. It's really good to have so many useful sounds on one compact keyboard.

Mike, thank you for your kind words. Here's that excerpt from Quando Quando Quando. It was really just a quick live test to see if the harmonizer on the 3000 was functioning correctly (and before I'd found the EQ tab). I still plan to do a full Quando soon.

Gary, thank you kind sir!

Cheers Glenn. For this one (after making the backing) I ran the phono-outs of the PSR to the phono inputs of a DAT machine, then ran the digital out of the DAT to my Roland HD recorder's digital in to make the recording.

I then plugged my dynamic mic into the DAT machine's XLR input and utilised the digital out again, to go to the Roland's digital in.

I ran through the song to get acceptable levels on the input, then had my dinner (not a heavy one) I came back and recorded the vocal... probably not an ideal recording method. I didn't use a boom stand this time, just held the mic.

Once the vocal track was down I took the headphones off and monitored the results through my hi-fi. Made a couple of tweaks on the reverb, EQ and adjusted the volume of the vocal and keyboard tracks accordingly.

Next I ran a lead from the digital out of the Roland to the digital in on the Sound Blaster Live Drive to record the master in Nero wave editor. Saved the resulting wav file, trimmed it, applied DC offset correction, normalised... then re-saved. The wav was then ready to encode to MP3 format for posting...

I think that's about all, but please let me know if you have any questions.

Mike, thank you for listening and kind words. As to the money side of things, I'm seriously considering gigging again with this keyboard.

Vern, much appreciated! Hopefully this'll be the start of a steady stream of PSR-3000 with vocal numbers

Thanks again guys,
Rich
