HEY I resemble that remark smirk




Drunks. My favorite audience. grin


This isn't to suggest that all live audiences are flat out DRUNK... but there is usually alcohol available, as well as other distractions (frequently TVs, dinner conversation, the idiot at the next table, etc) so the attention to detail is not the same as it would be in the user showcase, where people are likely to be listening through pricey speakers or headphones specifically for the purpose of finding problems and offering constructive criticism.

The two music environments are similar in many ways, but different enough that I would take chances in the one environment that I would never take in the other. That's all I'm trying to say.

Converting a vocal to MIDI in order to get an extra part out of a 3 piece band is basically an act of desperation based on limited possibilities. In the studio, possibilities are almost endless, so there would be no need or incentive to take such a risk.

My basic philosophy: "do whatever ya gotta do"

Hopefully I'll be able to talk them into incorporating backing tracks. If I can do that, the voice to MIDI idea will get canned in a heartbeat.
