Emax

I have done "strange love" "stripped" and "behind the wheel" and several other's...most recently "in your room" with in your room I too mixed the live version from the Paris show (sort of acoustic style) with the album cut. I also found adding a slight dance feel to the tracks is easy and goes along way, but I found working with these tracks was an lesson in itself. I used every sequencing skill and learned many new things along the way. The closer you listen the more you will find and the more programming and custom work you will do on the Emax...and the SD1.   For me it became a challenge and a learning tool at the same time.
