Just another "clarification" for my post title - I thought about the use of harmonies and I came up with a major difference between the way I use it, and the way some others do.

In my show -- the harmonies are not background -- they are definitely FOREground, and that's why I demand more from the processor. In a background situation, sure ... most anything is adequate -- but I want more.

I need a special "edge" to the vocal sound, and I can't get it from any of the built in units I've tried. (ALL of them) I did a Christmas show last night and I saw the faces of the crowd everytime I "featured" the vocal group (as it were). It really makes a huge difference in the presentation. It's not for everyone, but for me -- it's EVERYTHING.

I'm officially in high gear from now till the middle of February, and added to the increased tension at home with my darling daughter - I'll be a member in spirit again for a while. Merry Christmas to all, and I wish you well during this joyous and Holy season. Remember, It's not about Santa.
