Inspired by the kind words and encouragement of forumites following my first post a couple of weeks back, I've made another track using similar instrumentation to the first one. No Micro Moog on this one, the only original elements are the vocals and some of the simple guitar parts. Unfortunately, the lovely solo guitar is not me, but BiaB!

Tempo: 126 bpm
Style: Duper Funky Horns
Bass: Electric Modern Slap Funk
Piano: Electric Rhythm Jazz Funk Movin
Synth: Rhythm Jazz Funk Pad
Guitar 1: Electric Rhythm Electric Fusion Funky
Guitar 2: Electric Soloist, Smooth Soul Fast
Guitar 3: Electric Background Single Note Wah.

Neil, very cool throwback funk tune. Nice arrangement and mix. Might work on vocal levels, as the last passage sounds a little hot to me. Or...just leave them alone. FUNK-EE!

Hey there,

This is really nice. Sorry I missed the Moog song. What was that title? I want to search and listen.

Was there a particular style you use for these tracks? If so I would love to know what it is.

Nice job.

BIAB seems so well suited to this style of music. Just enough vocals for the song (simple one-lines.)

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I could hear this on the radio back in the heyday when funk was ruling the airwaves.

Nice sounding mix.

Funky good all over, Neil. Love the beat, that bass, the amazing horns and those subtle vocals. Man, this is so good, a fun listen.


Enjoy whatever happens!
