Nashville Tuning

Has anyone tried out Nashville Tuning for live performances? If so, what did you like about it? Did you have another flat top with standard stringing?

Is small venue live music becoming more popular??

I can remember when even the smallest clubs proudly advertised live music every Friday and Saturday night. Lately, I have noticed a few more coming back onboard to support local artists/musicians. I am quite convinced that a fairly large number of people with "disposable income" are looking for enjoyable, well-run venues where they can spend an evening listening to good music. Comments and insights would be welcome!!

pitch correction

I would rather hear the occasional flat or sharp note than to have an artist rely on pitch correction.....any comments?

I use pitch correction to sometimes tighten up the vocals but I agree with you that having the occasional sharp/flat note is nice and REAL! This new breed of "perfect" singers pisses me off. I met a guy who told me that the one of the top paying jobs in LA now is Pro Tools pitch corrector. PUKE! I wish the labels would wake up but they're run by morons now who have no musical taste what so ever.

buried vocal tracks....pet peeve of the week

Is it just me or does it bother other people that songwriters take so much time and effort to craft a lyric only to have the vocal track buried under the level of the instruments?

Comments welcome....
