My KB setup is different for each song I write. I adjust or change almost all the "voices/instruments" needed for the song. Then I change the pan settings as though each instrument would point to the "director" of the orchestra in the center. Then each instrument's volume is adjusted up or down to achieve the proper balance for the song. I select multi-pads to enhance play at points where needed.

Normally, the vocal will be at least 25 points above the music. Eventually, I'll save this group of settings as a registration.

Still experimenting with VH and Vocal Effects on the 970. I spend at least 50% more time doing this on the 970 than I did on the 910.

After a "sing-through" or two, I may go back and change other settings to suit the sound I'm trying to achieve. Thank God I don't have to sing on demand like you guys. I only need to get one good recording of the song and I'm done. It may take me 35 attempts to achieve what I consider to be success. LOL!
