Going through kits is easy and productive..........


Exactly Zuki....your talkin' my language!! cool2

Fully agree with Zuki ( and Donny here). Donny, I was not aware you were addressing folks who are either novices or not aware of the merits of deep tweaking smile

regards,
John

I have tweaked lots of things on my pa1x to the point that it was fully personalised and custom set up for me . It’s one of the key reasons I held and actually still have it after over 12 years .

I now have the pa4x and I have deliberately had to discipline myself from spending too much time just exploring what can be done as opposed to actually getting something done !

These instruments are so deep you really don’t need another keyboard for a life time .

I kind of agree with chas and DNJ. I am really critical when it comes to my drum and bass programming . They are the heart of the kind of music I love to play :gospel and funk so getting the right sound to start with is foundational .

However if music is not your full time endeavour , you have to be economic with your time . Playing and refining your performance skills trumps tweaking for me . But both are highly enjoyable !

I must say that I found it interesting, as I usually just balance the track volume when needed. Thanks Donny.

...and effects! ...........and pans.....and layering.....and pads and the list goes on and on.

Why not customize your settings to the finest? So very simple and quick once you get the hang of it.

I used to mix through monitors. Now I mix through my live QSCs. Makes perfect sense if you're mostly a live player.

....and here comes the 4X76 soon. More work smile This time I'm spending time with the VH.

Funny you mention this. My wife doesn't understand how I can just do the same thing over and over and not get sick of it. Repetition is the key to success.

I told her "If you were standing in front of 100 people with all eyes and ears affixed, you would do the same".

As someone said "Unspectacular preparation brings glorious presentation"

Zuki I agree as apathetic without passion & dedication will always show through the sound of your music.

Zuki, one step deeper. You are an organizer by nature.

You enjoy organizing -- I am the same.
