I bothered to listen to all of his work and decided a Tyros would be his best choice, I don't have to ask him what he does he posted a link to exactly what he does. He needs drum help. For his music the Yamaha drums will be better then whatever he's using.

As far as 16bit vs 24 bit. I have always recored in the medium the final CD will be in. 16 bit. Mp3s even less, People cannot hear the difference after its dithered...Yeah yeah reverb tails and all that. Who cares. You are still going to truncate 8 bits. Why bother using more drive space and taxing the system for 24Bit? Espcially for home recordings and demos. The song will overcome the lack of 24 bit recording if it's good and if its not a 960GHZ/12900 MHZ recording in a $100,000 studio won't make it so...

The OP wants to understand WHY we chose what we use and why we love what we chose and the manner in which we use it. He is not asking us individually to describe all the keyboards. I am a Tyros user. I was a Korg user. Its the very best arranger for his purposes becasue I use it that way, studio only, not live...The next post may be by someone who loves the G70 and explains why, the next a PA800 on and on.. Thats the variation of opinion the OP is looking for.

I don;t care what kind of music he does there will be far more styles available for him in the Yamaha world in ALL GENRES. IF he is concentrating of the song He probably don't want to tinker with a bunch of settings and micro edit styles, settings, learn software, create new styles, He wants a keyboard that is TRANSPARENT to his needs and allows him to concentrate on SONGWRITING....not technology. Tyros wins,

Thats subjective and yes I use one and believe its the best for the purposes of writing....NOT performing.

We don't need to be objective, Its a forum of ideas. DIFFERENT ideas, DIFFERENT perceptions...DIFFERENT needs and expectations. Most of us have found what we need to meet them and can only tell him why.
