RealTracks may be a bit TOO real... - 09/02/14 07:52 AM
I'm having fun with BiaB, especially trying out patterns through various style, just to see what turns up. Mostly jazz and smooth jazz styles, but a bit of everything.
And listening to several RealTracks playbacks it occurred to me this IS very much like a real band - the drummer is too $%@* busy (just like 80% of the (purportedly) LIVE drummers I've worked with over the years. Worked great with B3 duo; piano bar dinner jazz - not so much...)
And yes, I have tried the dumb-down options. But one of the things I have LOVED about working single with iPod tracks of my own is - I get to keep all the tips!
er, I mean - no overplaying drummers! Check my website, especially the Zytron pages from the seventies. Mahavishnu meets Big Sur...
