Nice job, great quality recording, well done thanx for sharing.
But I must add that I never liked the Yamaha 6/8 slow rock style bass line with that double bass note played it doesn't sound natural to me
vs a traditional oldies 6/8 ballad bass line ....

Very, very nice. Well done. Impressed with string sounds. Did you use string pad on left and/or as chord sounds?

I always preferred as I have recorded here on my S670 as an example...

This is not a 6/8, but rather a 12/8 which is very suitable for the tune I Can't Help Falling in Love.

Forgot to say yes I used a string sound on the lower. Following on from the Korg Uk Webinar Ive started to eq each indiviual upper sound which I hope makes an overall difference to the final result.

Very pretty orchestration ... thank you ...

PS ... Like most of life, it is a matter of taste as to which style you prefer ...

I once had an art teacher tell me "It's your art ... there's no right or wrong."

it's the double bass notes that make it very odd to listen to IMO..
I was just referring to your own file 6/8 bass and simply pointing out that it is not a 6/8 but a 12/8 - four triplets in each measure. The original rendition by Elvis Presley (at least the accompaniment) is 12/8.

As for MusicMemories's rendition, you thought it was "odd" to listen to because you are so used to the original 12/8. Then again, I like what Tony said, "It is a matter of taste," and as they say there is no account for taste. In fact, I liked it in that it was different. I think it is one of fun things that arranger players can have to play the same "old" song in a refreshing way.
