Beginning stages of a song I wrote using the KORG PA 4X.

Since this is an Arranger Forum & most here are interested in the performance of the keyboard, I figured I would post the work in progress...After 7 years of contemplation, I moved to an Arranger a few months back as a Songwriting tool & for live use.


Tracking was done on a TASCAM DP24 Digital Recorder, No DAW or automation yet....Though I will be ordering Pro Tools this week, so I am guessing I will finish it on that...Never dabbled in a DAW

Going to re-cut lead VOX....Will be adding BGV's and contemplating a full string section in the second Chorus following the single string....

Anyways, here is what I got going so far on the KORG PA 4X

I'm Gonna Live My Life

Steve this is a great song and should be getting a lot more views than it is. It was only a little bit of pitchy towards the lower end of your range. The song is great the vocals are great and the arrangement is great. A plus 😉

DNJ,

Yeah, I gotta at least punch in a couple spots. I kind of like the energy on this VOX and phrasing in most of the tune. 5 spots or so I need to punch in. Not pinning into the red on this is a challenge and I tried compression on my VOX for the 1st time....

Glad you like the flow as I bare-boned it at the beginning and built from there.

Still needs some touch ups, but needed to step away for a few days on it....
