I really appreciate the feedback. After listening more critically, I totally agree with the comments about the sounds used. I will make those adjustments for tonight.
I think I finally got the vocal right last night on My Valentine, but I won't subject you to another version.
The style for it was an Orchestra Ballad. I just got the tempo from Sir Paul's recording, put on tempo lock and went through some styles until I found one that seemed to fit. Then I added a text file of the lyrics and saved it to Songbook. I will double check tonight to see the exact style name.
DonP, I have to rate the PA3X as the best fit for me right now, when you take into account size, weight, features, sound, and reliability. There are, of course, things I like better on other brands, but the total package is serving me very well. I have come up with some good Country styles, including shuffle. The PA3X has some great current country styles. It's the old-fashioned ones that I had to look for a little. Between tweaking some factory styles and receiving some from older Korgs, I'm fine with them now. I'm not doing as much Country in my current situation, but it is still my first love. I can do New York, New York and it sounds country anyway.
Regarding Vocal Harmony, it is the onboard processor and harmonizer. My primary harmony setting is one voice above. I adjusted the gender to sound like a girl. I reduced the effects on the harmony voice so it doesn't get lost in the mix.
On certain songs I will use as many as three extra voices. There is also a quick switch to make an immediate change in the vocal. I don't remember what they call it right now. Anyway I set it up to do a female voice an octave up without hearing the original voice. I use it for the high part on Bread and Butter and for joke songs. I do a little "bit" about every female singer that ever sets in wanting to do Crazy, then I do it myself.
There are almost limitless capabilities with the built-in TC Helicon harmonizer.
Russ, since Willie, Rod Stewart and now McCartney did albums of standards, I figured maybe they know a little bit, so I am again doing more of them. Years ago, I did a lot of them. It all depends on what goes over with your audience. (And your boss).
During last night's gig I did L-O-V-E, Fly Me To The Moon, New York, Danke Shein, It Had To Be You, Scotch and Soda, Georgia, Misty, Summer Wind, The Way You Look Tonight, You Belong To My Heart, and others. Still some Waylon, Willie, Merle and Johnny in there, and a large portion of Elvis as well. It all depends on who is there, what they request and what is going over well.
Jack of all trades, master of none--that's me.
Again, thanks for your help guys. Sorry for the long ramble here.
