Also, it's way too prominent (IMO) throughout the song). The VOCALS, on the other hand, are FIRST RATE (very professional and just right for this tune). The problem, of course, with a (single) 'MIC' recording is that you can't turn down a single voice (in this case, the 'Rhodes'), which would help immensely. Of course this is all my totally non-expert opinion and is totally subjective. chas _________________________ "Faith means not wanting to know what is true." [Nietzsche]

Uncle Dave Senior Member Registered: 12/01/99 Posts: 12800 Loc: Penn Yan, NY	I appreciate all your comments, and thanks so much for taking the time to listen as I reinvent my audience. In some ways ... this is very exciting ... and terrifying! Chas - you're so right about the vocal balance. In my apartment, always aware of the noise levels, I'm very distracted as I sing. My live mixes are so much more comfortable on stages that I have the luxury of balancing, and treating the rooms. As I move forward with this YouTube presence, I fully intend to multitrack the audio before the video is uploaded so I can do a mix the way I like it. As for that Rhodes - it's a stock sound, and I'm not devoting too much time to tweaks until I get the SD60. I want to know exactly what I have available to me as I forge ahead on this new path. It's a little loud because I want to drown out the track I'm using. Thise distorted guitars just don't light my fire. I will eventually redo the entire arrangement. I'm pretty confident I can do the thing with a good, solid style, but I haven't looked for one yet. Don Mason called me "young" ... that's a laugh. _________________________ No longer monitoring this forum. Please visit www.daveboydmusic.com for contact info

I also understand that in a live (stream) situation, you want to keep the configuration as simple as possible to minimize operational errors - hence, the single keyboard approach. As others have said, keep putting them out; each performance will teach you a little something new that will enhance future performances. With your vocals, NONE of them is going to be BAD, it's just ANYthing can be improved, especially from a production point of view. chas Edited by cgiles (04/29/20 06:40 AM) _________________________ "Faith means not wanting to know what is true."

Question:.....since you have the amazing KORG Pa4x sitting there why not give it a good shot at this You Tube venture also .... might be a better way to go all around?.. good luck.

Uncle Dave Senior Member Registered: 12/01/99 Posts: 12800 Loc: Penn Yan, NY	Chas, in another scenario, using the SV1 and 4x combo would be killer, but they are set up facing a wall in the studio, and not easily photographed as a main event type presentation. The SD60 will be my live rig, so I'm focusing on presenting that as the audio vehicle in these video sets. It's weird - I was so tired late last night, but I was drawn to the SV1 before bed, so I went into the studio, turned off the lights, put on the cans and started working on a stereo panned tremolo version of Clair De Lune. I can hardly play it, but it's always been a favorite of mine, and I couldn't sleep without at least fiddling with it. I'm thinking of doing a spoken word voice over with that as the base. Now I just have to write the copy. So much to so ..... when did I ever find the time to WORK???????? _________________________ No longer monitoring this forum.
