I am kind of disappointed Henni . But not entirely surprised that all you did was push buttons in this track . There is no way that your timing from previous tracks could have improved this much compared to this track . But I am disappointed that you feel that basically playing a midi track that you have revoiced slightly is any kind of reason to take pride in what either you have achieved in this track or the capability of the machine . I really had hoped there was more of you in this "performance " .

You have used the analogy of comparing the gadgets on an arranger to the gadgets in a luxury car for the "wow " factor . Only the major issue I have with that analogy is that most people get the wow factor by actually taking the car for a spin , finding some open road and putting it through its paces . Not simply playing with the electronic cup holder or adjustable seat seat or adjusting the electronic mirrors .

I feel kind of disappointed that you have such an awesome instrument but in this example have used it like an incredibly expensive CD player . I can't find anything encouraging to say other than when you learn to consider an arranger as an actual musical instrument rather than as a gadget you will really understand what making music for others is all about .

There are a couple of times I have been a Little embarrassed to be part of a discussion . This is one of them .
