I am amazed at the sounds I can get from the Pipe Organ voices on my Yamaha S90XS 88 key synthesizer while listening on a pair of Sony MDR-7520 headphones. I have set 5 of the Pipe Organ voices as favorites presets, and plan to use those 5 voices on the Silent Night 7.1 remix, each panned to its own location in the 7.1 surround field. With the two 18 inch Bag End powered subwoofers I have, and the seven Mackie HR 824 MK2 studio monitors for surround speakers, I guess it's a good thing I have headphones for practice, since I live in a residential area. I do have an SPL meter though, which will help me keep the external sound below the threshold of pain, during times when I am panning each track in the surround field. In Michigan though, you never know when you might need to use subsonic bursts to shake the snow off the roof. I am planning on having many different types of sounds in the remix. The Pipe Organ voices won't be the only voices I use the synthesizer for. I even plan to have a wide spectrum of drum sounds. Even though I had originally planned to wait until after I finished the "Home Movies" project to do so, I have changed my mind, and decided that I would just wait until I finish the Pipe Organ tracks before I open up the Fender 60th Anniversary American Vintage 1954  Stratocaster I got hold of. I have all the Hohner harmonicas I need, ranging from Marine Bands in several keys and models to the Chord. And I have the latest version of Nuendo, as well as a new Apogee Ensemble Thunderbolt Audio Interface.  I have always leaned towards what would usually tend to fall into the general category of rock and roll, as far as my main preference for music. I suppose a lot of people would find it difficult to understand why I would spend so much time and effort on one song, especially if I'm mostly into rock. It's because I hear something in the potential of this song that other humans can't usually comprehend. Three main elements of music are melody, harmony, and rhythm. I like that feeling you sometimes get listening to a Pipe Organ playing simple but harmonically rich melody and harmony combinations, and the feeling that makes you want to sing along with a heavy blues song that expresses the  music we all sometimes have to release slowly but powerfully, just to get it out of our system, and the 4/4 beat of early Beatle's music that would almost make you want to join in with the loud screaming, if it wasn't for the fact that you weren't a girl, and the pounding of a deep bass drum that carries from a stadium a long ways away, and the fantasies I've had of possible melody, rhythm, and harmony combinations that would bring the enjoyment of music to a whole new level. Other people hear a major chord. I hear a major chord, as well as a 4:5:6 ratio of cycles per second, and a mathematical ratio related harmonically to the way the whole universe vibrates, from sounds with the richest timbre and combinations of harmonics to a simple sine wave, and even complete silence. I can't explain in words what I hear in the song Silent Night that other people can't seem to grasp; but, after many years, I think I finally have the right sound equipment to put it into music. It might take more verses than the original sheet music, and have several tempo variations; but, the melody, harmony, and rhythm will  still be based on the original song. I'll just have to keep practicing until I get it right... 

     Oh, and a hollow body Epiphone Casino electric guitar that I plan to sample with an Earthworks M60 reference microphone, and a few other things...
