Donny, I am going to get on your case....
You edited this EA7 style in Mixcraft .. didn't you?
You have a knack for cutting out the low frequencies and bringing the high frequencies to a bit of harshness...
In this style demo it lost it's character... dynamic loss is noticeable when I compared the same style played on the G70..
This style with the 36 measure intro and ending... sounds way better than the Yamaha offering posted..
Why not record direct from the EA7 .... don't edit the eq, and let the folks here how it was designed to be heard..
Maybe it is your monitor system or those aging ears catching up to Gary
I know you prefer less bass and you like bright highs... maybe too much for average listeners..
Give it another go.... I can recall it sounded better to my good ear than your demo..
