Hi Mike,

very entertaining. What track does the piano and
vibes solo? It carries the character of the song.
Enjoyable listen.

Loved it!

Those vibe and piano leads are perfect for the backing tracks.
Great bass solo, it also fits perfectly.


OK, a random thought;

Hi, Mike...

I really liked the bass solo.

The ride cymbal drove me nuts through the whole song. It went to a good level during the bass solo. For the length of the song, I thought the piano soloing did not have enough variation.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. Guenter, the Vibes solo plays on the melody track, then I copied and transposed it to the Solo track using a piano patch then. Floyd, the cymbal ride doesn't sound particularly loud in my cans but I guess is a matter of taste or system. Unfortunately, so far is not much we can do to control a particular instrument on an RD, maybe messing with eq controls. I'm glad that overall you guys liked it.

Nice jazz for a Thursday Morning. the doubled line going into the bass solo was a nice touch. It sounded good on the range it was being played there. I understand what Floyd was saying regarding ride. I like the ride, I think your idea of tweaking the EQ would probably sit it in the mix a little more evenly. That said, I like the choice of drum track.

I'm a sucker for a walking bass line so I got swept in
early. Nice swinging here. The soundstage is
perfect to my ears. Everything is sitting so
well. Cool arrangement and a very effective
mix.

Enjoyed it.
