Technics Forum friends: I invite you all to listen to my latest songs:

* This Could Be The Start of Something Big
* Blue Bayou

Both are 'live' sung & played arranger keyboard recordings, so I acknowledge a few glitches, but suppose that's expected for a spontaneous 'on the fly' live performance recording situation, right?

To listen, go to my website:
Scott Yee Entertainment
then:
Go to the: "Song Demos" Page.

"This Could Be the Start of Something Big" is located in the "Big Band/Swing" section, and "Blue Bayou" is located in the "Pop, Rock & Blues" section.

Then Select: 'DSL/Cable' or '56K' version

Happy arranger keyboarding to all,

Scott

Scott ... we've already 'talked' about Blue Bayou ... "Somethin' Big" ...I really liked the arrangement ... was it a Ty2 on board style/rhythm? ... However, it was obviously in the wrong key for you... In cases like this, when I know the tune in one key, and for whatever reason my voice isn't going to make it, I find the transpose button to be a life (and vocal cord) saver

Great recordings Scott - I just love the 'Modern' Lyrics in 'This could be the Start of Something Big' I'm sure Steve Allen would approve..............

Tony, Larry, and Bill. Glad you enjoyed my rendition as well as my lyric re-write.

A Ty2, which Technics model kb does that refer to?

Tony, I'll respect your opinion, but I think it was the 'right' key, required to produce the kind of 'hyped up' excitement I wanted to present for this type of song. Onboard T2 Style: 'Big Band Fast1'

Thanks again for listening folks.

Scott

Hey Scott,

Great songs and marvelous renditions. Thanks for sharing. What keyboard do you use and what type of mic? And, most importantly, how do you record like that and get such remarkably clear recordings?????)

Looking forward to another contribution soon!

Scott, the only word that comes to me is –PRO –

When I come in to a room and my ears, head and heart begins to focus on the music it is because someone like you is playing.

I think I am going to add some Scott Yee into my performance. Aaaaaaaah, Good stuff.

Thanks for sharing Scott, John C.

It wasn't my intention to promote the keyboard equipment I use, but since you asked:

Keyboard: Yamaha Tyros2
Microphone: Sennheiser e935

These were basically live performances, recorded straight into the keyboard's built in HD recorder (as a WAV file) in one take: no multi-track, overdubs or post processing was made whatsoever. The resultant WAV file was subsequently converted to a much smaller compressed format: WMA (windows media audio) file, for posting on the internet.

Scott,

Nice job. You sing much better without a cold (the 05 Jam.)

The Tyros sounds interesting and we will have it demonstrated at our 3RD FLORIDA JAM, MARCH 2007. Hope you can make it.
