Remember please, these are recorded live on the job, no editing. Trying to optimize settings on SD7 and welcome all comments.
On Burning Bridges, I actually edited the bass in the style by changing it from Precision to Fingered while starting the song. You can hear it.
On Whad I say, you can't hear the audience response because I was recording straight from mixer line outs.
On JazzJam I was just fooling around with one of the Riff styles.
Sorry so many are slow ballads. It was that kind of night.

Sounds better Don,
Deane

Huge improvement, Don. Judicious use the the harmony sounds great, too.

All the best,

Gary

I agree with both Gary and Deane. Your level of performing is outstanding. And as someone else remarked you and Ketron are a match made in heaven. Thank you for sharing Don.

That having been said I can imagine other/younger folks being interested in the capacities of the SD7 in other areas than (semi) country music. I hope they will come forward and show us their tunes as well.

regards,
John

Love to hear some others stuff. I do play a lot of things besides country and old rnr, but the past couple of nights have been mostly rich old Texans! And that's what they want to hear.
BTW I didn't mention it but Sweet Home Alabama was a midi file. I think the drum need to come up on it. I seldom use a midi file and this is the first one I played on the SD7. Seemed to work fine.

Thanks Brian. Great to hear from you!

I’m impressed, real good Don – It doesn’t get much better.

I guess every time I play my Pa900 for people I’ll have to tell the fantastic story of the man who first owned it. (smile)

Don - really enjoyed your songs! Sounds like the SD7 is a great choice for you! Congrats on the transition and keep up the great work - inspiration for us all!

Don – Nice, clean recordings. Well-played and sung. You mentioned going through the mixer outs. Just wondering----what type of gear or media was used for the recordings? Secondly, was your vocal mic going directly into the mixer or through the SD-7 first?

Mic was directly into SD7. Recorded from headphone output of mixer into Tascam DR 05. . Only processing was normalizing in Audacity and converting from WAV to MP3.
I used headphone jack because it has volume control independent of mixer mains.
I actually made a few more tweaks Sat., and used a little compression on vocal and I liked that a lot. It was the default mic compressor setting in the SD7.
I could post more examples but I imagine people are tired of hearing me!
Thanks!

Does sd7 has low cut for your mic??

Has adjustable 3 band e.q., compression, limiter, reverb, delay, etc. I believe you would have to set low cut parameters yourself. I'll double check though. Not in front of it right now.

Never happen !!! ... keep 'em coming ... I finally got a chance to listen and as usual I thoroughly enjoyed them ...
I haven't heard a KB or sound system you don't sound good with ...
Thanks for sharing, Don ...

The day I grow tired of hearing Don Mason play is the day they pull the sheets over my face.
