Alternatively you can copy the tracks, select the audio in the "arrangement" window, and in the info bar at the top set fine tune as I described, mix those tracks in with the originals... 2) The free piano plug-in is 'mda piano'. Not the richest instrument you've ever heard but man, it's free, and it does sound kind of like a piano.

It's cool to see what you've been up to. I've written a few songs lately, and I've been trying to put them together in Cubase SX3. You mentioned a couple of things I'm highly interested in: 1) free plug-ins to fatten and expand vocals, and 2) a good, cheap piano plug-in. I'd appreciate any more info you can throw my way. I hate to post my email address, so shoot me a message of Facebook, if you don't mind. BTW, I especially liked the part about overdriving the piano. In one of my songs, I'm actually using an overdriven Rhodes suitcase EP, and it adds a very cool sound. Thanks in advance, and I look forward to hearing back from you! ~Tim First of all, long time no see! It’s cool to see what you’ve been up to.

Did you use a plug-in or how did you do it? I used mda detune. Good deal. Did you use a plug-in or how did you do it? I used mda detune.

I recently applied the fattening trick to bass guitar track and was amazed at the fullness. Your fellow nerds appreciate the tech tips.
