Art Of Getting The Right Balance - musicalmemoriesuk - 06-30-2023
No matter what make and model of arranger we own or use at some point we have to get the right balance between all the instruments be it in the style or the sounds we actually play.
Naturally first thing you reach for is the volume level.
But as you progress through your musical journey you learn that there are so many eliments to getting the right balance between all the tracks.
Think about it you see the latest greatest arranger being demoed and you think it sounds brilliant, you go out an part with your hard earned cash open the box to test your latest purchase and you think it dont sound nothing like the instrument being demonstrated.
Why ?
You see so many posts across the arranger forums about the pianos sounding terrible, strings being to harsh etc.
Is it that the sounds are really that bad or just poorly mixed?
Next being what tools do you have to change not such a great sound into something usable. Can you turn a negative sound into a positive?

Absolutely.
If you have a very simple and cheap arranger, the options you have on this are limited, but you can conjure up your wishes with programs such as Cubase.
If you have a more advanced arranger you can do most things to change negative sound to positive sound - if you know how.
All the arrangers I've had have had a limited amount of embellishment within added effects.
Synths are perhaps different, because Korg OASYS, Krome, Kronos and Nautilus all have in common that everything is done - all possible kinds of filters and effects are optimized.
