Donny it sounds like you used izotope mastering essentials in MixCraft and also compression.

Two things I should mention. I wanted to hear what came from the keyboards and comparison, without mastering effects..

Although your version of adding mastering effects sounds great in terms of volume levels and stereo separation, the compression takes away "dynamics", losing that "live" sound..

When played through a good sound system or good headphones, you can hear what I am talking about..

So what about the comparison of the E-A7 vs G70.

I used different organ, bass, sax, guitar and drums.. And the solo sax was different.

I did use just a tiny bit of compression ...
but NO mastering tools at all..
& just a 2db & a 15786Hz bump to make it sound cleaner..
It just sounds fuller to my ears now..

I redid the E-A7 recording, leaving room for Rhodes improvisation..

I changed the organ sound, and opened up areas for Rhodes piano (I was halfway thru before I felt like I got in the groove, but I think you get the idea)

I liked the Rhodes sound slightly better, but that organ you replaced was also really good. Thanks for sharing, love to hear the pros.
