Paul,
Great use of the features on the kb, and nice playing technique as well. You got the balance just right between lead and vocal harmony.....lots of players have trouble with that. Well done.

Hello Paul,

The Tyros sounds great and so do your vocals!

I'm glad you choose Route 66...I've been meaning to ask a Yamaha owner to record that song so I could hear it using XG voices. That song appears to be the 'Styles & Music' version.(?) Anyway, they use an XG Brush drum kit that my GEM WK8 simply does not play right. I keep getting the Laser Zapp sound instead of a drum beat. All my drum kits do this except one, the POLY_DK. That one gets it somewhat right (read, no laser). Even if I play that midi file using VanBasco and my sound card as the midi mapper, I get the laser. Obviously midi files with XG voices require something special.

Bottom line, your sound was wonderful.

Paul,
One of the best stereo field mixes I've ever heard. Interesting rendition of "Take It Easy" your pacing and phrasing turned it more into a 60/70's R&R version rather than the folk rock original version.

VEry impressive overall.

Hi Paul,

great songs. The Tyros and your voice sound great.
I also enjoyed the songs on your webside.
Did you record them with the Psr-9000 or the Tyros?
Did you use Midi files or styles?

Again very fresh and enjoyable.

Jam on

Eric

Wow Paul-Your Route66 is a darn good one..it's almost like a carbon copy from Nathalie Cole's "unforgetable" CD. I had to listen to a few bars before I figured it out

I didn't find "tequila sunrise" though...

Paul,

Just to satisfy my curiosity.....what kind of mic did you use on these songs?

Paul,

Really enjoyed your pro sounding Tyros song renditions. Fresh sounding vocals & nice keyboard soloing.

You say you played, sang and recorded your songs all in 'one take'. Did you sing, play & record everthing live while performing in 'auto accomp' arranger keyboard mode, or did you play the keyboard and sing along to a 'pre-recorded' "Styles & Music" (?) midi song file?

Please share with us your recording procedure & techniques as well as which Yamaha arranger kb style(s) you used or midi song (.mid) files was used , especially on Route 66. I'm also curious how the 'stop chorus' sections on Route 66 were triggered, and how the full keyboard piano comping chord voicings was achieved, especially if the song was performed in (split/full KB) arranger keyboard (auto accomp) mode.

Looking forward to hearing more music from you.

Scott

Scott,

The way I mostly play on stage is with a midifile, because I also then have the lyrics with me. i can play by head but not recon all the lyrics.

route 66 is indeed a Styles & Music midi and it's the best. I've tried the style (acoustic Jazz, try intro 3), but it doesn't have the impact as the midifile.
I played full keyboard and switched between jazz guitar and piano ( so where you hear the high notes a ran out of keyboard). I'm thinking of getting an 88 keys masterkeyboard and attach this at the Tyros, because the piano is so wonderful.

For the other two songs I played a guitar part.


For Donny I use a Shure beta 58 A Microphone and my eq on the mic is:
eq low 160hz -7db eq mid 800hz -4 db eq high 14 khz +5db

I'll try recording a new song using a style as soon as possible and I will let you know

Greetings

Paul

Hi Paul, just wondering if you have those songs as midis. As always, you did an outstanding job with the songs. They sounded very clear and the vocal was great too. You now convice me to go purchase the Shure Beta 58 Mic instead of the Rode NT1A Mic, although I know I am the one that sounds ugly. Thanks!

Johnny

@Paul
Just to clarify how you recorded the MP3's which sound great, am I right in thinking that you used a pre-recorded commercial karaoke-mid with you adding piano and guitar solos at the same time as your vocals?
If that is correct, this was great work and I would like to be able to get some more of the mids. But where can I get them, please?
cheers
Eddie
