Thanks, peoples. Good ears, good sense.
I hear the terms haunting, plangent, plaintive, lonely, warm,
authentic, soothing ... I mean, this really encourages me to develop this style, although, I'll tell ya, consistency from tune to tune is a problem for me. Not all my own, I'm sure. The suggestion is to continue to try to understand the nature of the effect and how to reproduce it reliably. I know I don't seek symphonic, are not seeking hypnotic. Artist's dilemma, isn't it: seeking to understand self in the context of the greater nature, not as an end in itself.
I need to find a way to break out the piano from the BB wav renderings and transfer the two, in sync, without going through the time consuming and tedious process of transferring from the HD (Reaper tweaked or BB Renders) to the separate tracks on the Tascam's storage card. That will give me full control of the piano in the last phases (that's important) of post production. Most everyone here uses DAW, and might find my dilemma foreign. It is one of those things makers of digital decks (Zoom, Tascam, Boss) have not addressed, as far as I know. To sound right, that piano volume has to be nailed down in final stages of mixdown.
John Jarvis is a Real Tracks treasure. So is Brent Mason.
Sorry for the novel.
