James,
 
The new C2D Operating System is fantastic..  I love the new leslie sim, the new overdrive, the keybounce and the new treble horn/bass rotor mix paramenter!!  All of which just serve to make a great clone an even better clone, and get it just a couple steps closer to sounding like the real thing.
 
You should have not problem whatsoever doing a demo with the C2D/C2, and I expect that you would be quite satisfied with the new leslie sim and you will find it perfectly adequate for a demo.

Craig MacDonald

Nord C2D/C2v2.00 good enough for recording a demo?

Hi All,
This is really directed at people who have used the Nord C2D/C2 v2.00 but I expect others will have very valid opinions also:

I was wondering about doing a short jazz organ trio demo recording (4 songs) on the C2 v2.00 rather than using a real Hammond, just because
- It will be faster to set up
- I don't need to acoustically isolate the drums (the guitar will go direct)
- I can record the MIDI, the dry out and the simulated rotor out for use on mix down e.g. I could either drive the organ with the MIDI and mix it down through a 147 for example, or the MIDI just controlling the Leslie speed and driving the Leslie with the dry out, or use the simulated Leslie on mix down, or I guess a mixture of real and sim Leslie?

Any thoughts? Is it good/realistic enough? Is the MIDI playback fast enough esp. since there will be a lot of swell pedal data all down the same MIDI cable? Would you use the sim or the 147? Would anyone notice the difference?

Thanks in advance for your advice!
James
