Thank you. :) And likewise to the others who've commented -- glad you
liked it.

It's a Studiologic SL 990 Pro, which is a piano-sized weighted
keyboard. It was cheap and feels nice to play, but it has the downside
that its key action is very loud -- you can hear it thumping away on
the main vocal track on the recording.

Behringer B-1 and UB1002FX. (But the mixer's only being used as a mic
preamp in this case; all the real mixing's done in Ardour.)

There's a little bit of reverb and compression on the original, but it
was a pretty quick recording so I didn't spend much time mixing it...

Here's a "morning after version" with some more tweaking -- added
gates and reverb for the vocal tracks as you suggested:

I think if anything it's a bit *too* sensitive at the moment -- I had
to turn the velocity sensitivity down on my keyboard to avoid
triggering the ff layer all the time.

The mf layer sounds fine to me. I'm all in favour of having more
ability to play quietly, though. ;)

Canterbury in the UK.

Heh -- oddly enough since I wrote the song a couple of weeks ago, it's
been raining pretty much continuously here...

Thanks very much,
