Nicely done.

Quick observation ... sounds like mic is just about to clip (especially when harmonizer kicks in). I would....

* Drop mic input gain at back by about -1 - 2db


That should do it :-)

Sounds so good, tasty Rhodes playing along with the ease of your vocal

Yes I started to mention that. It's very sensitive.

Thanks - All good points .... the balance is no where near optimal, and I have not even begun to tweak the vocalizer. The 2 times you heard it were the first 2 times I tried it. I will fuss with that in the days ahead. Those songs were not even recorded with a sustain pedal, and that makes me very uneasy. It's an un natural feeling. Today I set up my EZ-8 patterns in registrations (turned out to be more like EZ16 or so) and I picked, and modified my 8 go to sounds. This makes the unit almost ready for the stage.
I need to decide if I want to spring for the Ketron dedicated pedal unit, or try to make due with the soft button on the screen. (You can assign a tab to turn the Vocals on and off)
I've had it two days now, and I think I'm about to send the jury home. Anyone want to sell me a case (shorter than 50") and a 6 button pedal?

Sorry, my mistake. It is a GKB 76. I bought it when I had the SD7 last time and used only a few times. It fits.

Uncle Dave,

For what it is worth, on the first song you clearly needed some more EQ in the highs. sounds very good in She's no lady, but why not give the drums a bit more prominence ? (they are no yamaha drums, you don't have to hide them :))
Your vocals, excellent as they are, are slightly too prominent to my ears in relation to the accompaniment and the same goes for the organ sound. Beef up the bass and drums and occasional let thru some of the acc. tracks.
Just my view mind you......

regards
John

P.S. I noticed in the live streams the same slight disbalance , at least in my ears, between the keyboard arrangments and your voice, where the latter lays firmly on top of the music and could be slightly more in the music imho.......
