Thanks Fran! To be fair, I'm not totally happy with the sound yet, but I think I can get there. That's why I want opinions!

Don, don't get me wrong..I am not saying...I didn't like it...I do..I just thought the comparison of what you recorded on the G70 ..could be helpful..

On "wind beneath my wings"..I thought the guitar you used was excellent...but we all know you can make the guitar sound real on anything.. smile

How are you coming .. for a pedal steel?...Did you ever get something you liked on the E?

I don't love the one on the E50. Great one on BK7M though.
There is a really good slow one on the PA3X, and there is a great one for faster songs in the GM bank.
Right now I'm adjusting the e.q. to liven it up. If I think I've improved it later, I'll post something else.

I enjoyed those very much Don. Thanks for posting!

Just some random thoughts:

The guitar on on "Thrill" was amazing! So where the drums and especially the fills.

Vocal harmony on "Wind" was real nice.

I didn't care much for the drums on "Wind" especailly the cross stick. The guitar sounded a bit synthetic to my ears. The overall style on "Wind" didn't do much for me... Just my 2 cents.

I agree. I can find a better style for Wind, or maybe just change the drum kit.
Thanks!
Don

The Korg is lifeless compared to that keyboard you used on that tune....Listen to the drums..they don't compare.....Keep it's little brother (E-50).... grin



I realize I do not have the 'ear' many of you have to compare one KB to another, but is it fair to compare two KBs using two different styles? ... I would think an A/B test under identical conditions - PA system, recording device, etc. - using styles as similar as possible would provide a better comparison -
I'm NOT saying that you have to do that Don, just saying that in my opinion that's the only way to make an accurate comparison ...

Tony, of course you are correct, that would be the ideal way to compare...I was referring to the character of the sound..I always look for a live sound....Comparing what Don already played is a good way to illustrate this...I think the crisp realistic sound of the G70 recording edged out the PA3x recordings...Just as I believe the PA3x edges out the Tyros4 in the same respect...

I have no doubt Don will get as close as possible the sound he wants...but who knows..maybe it will take another Audya.. grin

Fran, I know exactly what you mean. I do want a more live sound. I'm tweaking as we speak!
Thanks,
Don
