To get back on track a bit.... I'm a little concerned that with the lack of keyboard solos on this record, Jordan may be overtaken by the orchestra. Meaning Jordan won't be as big a presence on DT12. Sure he's a big part of orchestrating and composing the orchestra parts, but keys won't be a big part of this record. Is this a concern to anyone else?
Why would I be concerned? The quality of the music is the important thing.
Yeah. I'm not concerned that the album isn't going to be as good because JR isn't as prominent on it. I'm just wondering: If the orchestra is on more than FAS and IT, will it be a good blending?
For example, I prefer the studio version of 6DOIT because, though Jordan's using an orchestra patch, I can tell he's doing it. Whereas on the live version, most of his part was done by the orchestra, which was really cool, but it sounded just enough different to me to be a little off-putting.
8VM on the other hand was a great blending, and when they do the song live, it works great either with on Orchestra or Jordan using the patch.
I guess I'm just hoping it'll have a good keys/orchestra ratio. Any thoughts?
