Guys:

I put this sample together to show what the 970 has to offer (At least what I'm able to do with it).

Do you think I'd get better results with Korg PA1000, Ketron SD9, Korg Pa4x, or any other option. (Genos...even though I can't afford it).

Chop away!!!

I was only able to listen to get access to one MP3 file...Summer Of 69?

Good job.

Don’t know if you would benefit from a different keyboard. I sure did with my 4X.

One problem for me is that I’m listening through my iPad. And I think MP3 files are so compressed on listening sites that dynamics of sound are hard to compare...or hear...for me anyway.

Come on guys...45 downloads with no feedback!

I had to layer these tracks with the 970...it was a time consuming, and a painstaking process.

Could I get better results...more quickly...with one of the keyboards mentioned?

I really want honest input. You guys are all pro’s and I respect your opinion.

Thanks, jingleman (Mitch)

Thanks guitpic1, Compression is something I use pretty extensively to give punch to tracks.

Do you think there would be more clarity with the 4X? I find the clarity of tracks lose definition when building a tune with the 970. Not sure if that has something to do with the digital converters in the 970.

I realize it’s difficult to maximize instrumental definition with one keyboard performing all the parts, but thought you guys might have some suggestions.

By the way...I’m nursing a left knee meniscal tear repair, so the pain meds are making me gabby. So if I offend anyone...I apologize in advance. I Luv you guys...see!

Thanks

Stick with the KORG....if you want a LIVE sound vs what I just heard here especially the drums..good luck.

For those of you Yamaha owners...the style used is “Canadian Rock”.

Question for yammie guys. Is there an editor for pc or iPad to tweak 970 styles. That might help a little.

It took me all yesterday to create that short song sample.

Donny: do you think I would get better results with pa1000? Would a midi file conversion on your 4X sound better? Or does the Korg have better clarity and clearer and punchier drums?

Thanks,
jingleman

I think it was excellent...not because of the keyboard...but your voice is really great! IMHO any MOTL or TOTL arranger would we similar...as the vocals are the key...Drums were fine. Sure a different KB would be ...maybe a little better...but I think the audience would not care...as your singing is the key.

For me however...I can't sing a note...so the true sound quality on every instrument is critical...because the arranger...not a vocal is the whole sound in my perforances. Just like the organ days...when I had a Conn Prelude...then got my Thomas Trianon...wow...what a difference...then when I got the Yamaha HS-8...another giant step up. Pretty much played the music the same way...but me and my audience (family) heard a much better , more real song played.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I’m mainly a home studio guy, so I want to get the best live sound I can get from the keyboard.

Curious to see if the Korg 1000 would give me better clarity and punch than the 970.

Drums I heard are too compressed which takes away the LIVE feel.....listen to the snare its a dead giveaway..
