Some video from recent gig

Postby spradders » 15 Oct 2017, 20:23

Hi, here is some video from a gig we did on Friday. The singer is Izzii Moulsdale based in Southampton, UK. She wrote most of the songs. Normally I use my Nord for function band or Christian worship music, but this was a bit different ... mainly dance/pop tunes.
You'll hear a bit of Rhodes, Hammond, mellow piano, synth strings and other effects, the new layered EP (my friend Lorne on keys for that), and the bright grand. You have to listen hard though, the audio is just from the built-in mic on my system camera on the gallery.
LOVE THE NORD STAGE!! So versatile.

Yes - I use it on almost everything. I boosted the eq and it cuts through really well. It is reasonable in mono too. When I use it solo without a band it's a bit harsh for some things but it is perfect in the band context and easy enough to roll off a bit of eq. It is still my favourite nord piano sound.

WAIT - the below settings are wrong, sorry. These are what I used to use. I have added a new reply further down the thread, with my current settings.

These may be my eq settings:
Bright Grand YaS4
treb 6.9
sweep 927
level 6.7
bass 6.9
compress 3.4
dyn 1

Thanks for sharing that. I will give your settings a try and see how they feel in the stuff that I do. Always happy to experiment :)

I love the set up with the stage for the drums, this is a thing I've been thinking for a long time, but a good one easy to set up and fold is quite expensive but so clean....
Also, 3 back singers? Whoa...but you have to split the band fee in 8 instead of 5, right? I'm always trying to get my guitar and bass to do back vocals so, double duties....but thanks for sharing, great performance....

Thanks - yes we didn't do it for the cash - the singer is trying to make a go of it, she wrote the songs etc. So we played for her for a favour really.

BUT WAIT - I'm sorry but the piano settings I gave to kirsty were completely wrong, they are what I used when I first got the Nord.
Here is what I use now:
Studio Grand 2, Large
Treble: +4.5db
Mid Freq: 1.8kHz
Mid Level: +1.7dB
Bass: +8/8
Reverb: dry/wet 4.0
Compressor: 0.6

Cheers!!
