Friends,

This is a song written with regards to MKK (Martin Luther King) day.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jedKCc6OIe4

Figure out which Arranger keyboard was used ... if you can (where applicable).

Your thoughts on this are also appriciated (both AUDIO and VIDEO).

Thanks,

AJ

My guess is Solton X1.
Music is very good, I thought the vocal audio was a trifle loud.
Was that your creation, or one of your family?

Great audio and video production. Loved it !!! I couldn't tell by listening what arranger keyboard was used. But I will take a guess and say the Ketron Audya .... hey why do you think I took a guess on that wink But whatever it was I didn't feel like I was listening to an arranger keyboard which is exactly how a good arranger keyboard should sound to the listener.

Excellent work. Definitively neither Yamaha or Korg that I know well. That arranger is awesome!

I don't know which arranger but it could very well be a Solton since AJ wrote it in 2002-3. Yep, it does not sound like an arranger, good job. And your work here is very good, a very good video. I think the weak spot is the sung vocal audio quality. MLK was one of the greatest speakers ever born and you've captured his magic with the various excerpts, but to me, the weak spot is in clearly hearing the sung vocal. It's a song, so, I think you should re-record the song or master it again so that the sung vocal is clearer. And also highlight the hook in a couple of spots, so that it is clearly heard. Maybe even remove all music around the sung hook once or twice to hit home the powerful message... "I have been to the mountain" or whatever it is. However, take all of that from someone who has high-frequency hearing loss.

The date of the composition was what led me to guess X1.

Ketron X1 (predominantly). Around that time, we were still 'toying' with the idea of LIVE GUITARS so part of the guitar tracks (panned Left) were recorded LIVE.

Thanks for your great feedback which has been taken seriously!! The studio engiineers will definately take them into consideration when re-doing the song!
