That will sound very different than a synth through a distant amp in a big room. If you want a close and sharp and sometimes wide sound, the direct might be the way to go. If you want to smooth out some of the edges, an amp might be the solution. If you aren't sure and you have plenty of tracks, print both to tape and worry about it later. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

I tend to view a synth track differently than other
electric keyboards that require a speaker to sound correct, like electric piano or organ. I like synth stuff in stereo with outboard effects but an amp/speaker can be an effect. One notable technique: Oberheim through a Marshall for the VanHalen 'Brown Sound' rd |

Oh, I meant renning thru an amp and speaker. Thing is, I don't have
one. My brother does, and it is a hassle to borrow, so I don't typically have the luxury of trying it both ways. And in case I ever get a chance to borrow his amp again, I wanted to have some advice to know what to listen for... what kind of differences to expect. Thanks, everyone. Your comments help. |
