And we didn’t get all those wishes we have been storing up on the list for the years. But let’s not look at the glass half empty… I spent sometime this morning auditioning the new Real tracks. Damn, there is some good stuff there! Welcome to newbee Zane Carney with his tasty zany rhythms. Anything new from Miles and John on Piano are always welcome and will find a place in my mixes. Love all the bass sounds as I am always looking for a good bass player, Alex, Freddie, Doug … If you can’t find something you love here you need a new woofer. Check out the new Rhythm tones from tone master Brent. Fantastic sounds Guitar Acoustic Fingerpicking… way to go Joe. Lots of RT drums and percussion – anxious to try these out. I am still working through the new brass section entries – so much to love, so little time. So let’s give credit where credit is due. The Real Tracks continue to amaze.

Some older ones often sound at the end as if the electricity bill has not been paid. +1 Desktop; i7-2600k, 8 GB mem., Win 10 Pro, BIAB 2017; RB 2017 - latest build Laptop: i5-2410M, 4 GB mem, Win 10 Pro, BIAB 2017; RB 2017 - latest build
