Your experience recording your Nords?

Everything about Nord keyboards in general; which one to choose, the sound manager, sample editor, and general discussion about the sample and piano libraries.

It was actually quite the opposite mindset. It was more like "hey, we've got all this crap, let's make use of it."

I've had the R16 for a while now, and have been looking for the right moment to put it to use. Like most musicians, we've all got enough stuff to open a pretty righteous pawn shop.

But, certainly to one your points above Chuck, my live EQ settings are very different from when I want to record in a controlled environment. I find myself tweaking the EQ constantly based on the room, speakers, situation and sound I'm shooting for. Playing a lot of jazz, I look for a more authentic old school vibe rather than a cutting sound. The Amber Upright is pretty much my go-to for most of it. If I were studio record, I might gravitate more toward the Royal Grand, but I don't like it all that much for live use.

It's just a great thing that we are fortunate enough to have dilemmas like this.

Just bought a Zoom Q2N two days ago. I still have to check why I my audio is clipping from time to time, but was fun to record myself.
Missed some notes but first time I record myself... ;-)
