FWIW i find my ES6 to sound very nice and warm running into my Fireface. It sounds nice even through it's own headphone output.
Just out of interest, what are monitors are you using??? |
Thats almost hit the nail on the head. My buddy couldn't understand why I wasnt satisfied with the recorded sounds as he address them 'full' and 'warm' What I dont hear is any presense or sparkle!
My engineering skills need a lot of work but I seem frightened to over process sounds with multiple instances of EQ or compression or even limiting in stages.
I'm monitoring on some poor Alesis active monitors. Though I dont think thats whats impairing my ears. When making A/B comparisons to songs I know have used the motif, the same patches I record just dont sound the same.
Even during composing, the sounds dont seem to have much life to them and it can be quite off putting. The only thing I love about the keyboard is those silky 88 keys. It plays well!
Are you tracking many patches in stereo, such as pianos or some of the synth pads or mono and copying them with short delays?
