John, my name is John too.
You came up with a solution, that has evaded me. To be frank ( I'm John
) I am going to have to go over
your solutions numerous times until it sinks in.
To focus on a very related issue: some Reg can give one a rude ( too loud in particular ) surprise when I use them, after first using the "tuned up on the fly registration". If I could start "tuning up" *** AT HOME that would be a boon.
Using your solution works for R1 R2 R 3
, but Style and Songs are another matter.
I have never been 100% clear about Songs integrated into a live performance, but I am gradually seeing a A MIDI Song's utility. There are 2 avenues for saving Songs... 1. go to song mode and choose songs there, OR 2. Save a Song into a Registration. I think #2 is the better way, for maximized fun factor. There is potential creative fun taking out some channels of a Song, and you, the user playing the parts!
The problem is using headphones at home; it is difficult to accurately measure volume of a bass, a bass drum, eg of one reg with another, not to mention the 16 parts in MIDI songs.
The best place it seems is to do it is ON THE GIG, (but that breaks the rule I grew up with.. not having too much down time between songs.)
Is there a meter that would be practical for mixing? There are decibel meters, but not sure, 1. their accuracy, 2. how or IF that could be applied to headphone mixes! Seems like I would have to make Reg adjustments in the open air at home. I don't have the luxury of disturbing others though with hours of T4 tuning at home.
The headphones would be a great solution IF they can be used effectively to truly sense how a reg ( which includes Style and MIDI Song ) would sound on a gig.
It seems the T4 demands a great deal of daily attention for optimal results.
*** the volumes, Eq- Reverb- octave of R 3 in particular - of the 3 parts, style, AND the parts within a MIDI Song
John has solved half the problem.
. the other half is Song and Style "surprises" aka a too loud drum, or MIDI part.
