Just publish my latest tune. Nite at the club! I used a lot of stuff. Part A used a loop from Splice that I modified and deepened with other drums I created. I also implemented staccato synth/strings with the plugin Scaler (part A).
Part B uses Ez drummer and BIAB for - the bass - the electric piano chords and solo - the sax solos
I play the guitars
Mixed in reaper, Ozone 9, THU full plugin for my guitar sounds (2 sounds used).
Then created the clip.
This one took me a lot of work! Hope you will enjoy it!
Well, all your work was worth it because the result was excellent. TBH I can get bored with instrumentals but this held my interest throughout. Great work!

Man, what a treat! All that work you applied turned into one big heap of fun and entertainment. Your cuts are always very professional-sounding and have tons of commercial appeal. Loved that bass and hi-hat intro ... really cool! And the horn stabs are the perfect accent to everything else.
The variations are nicely blended and are mutually complimentary. Translation: Fantastic song that I truly enjoyed!
Look forward to more excellent cuts from you. Hope 2021 treats you in a most excellent way.
Man, that is one great display of the power of BiaB when used with strong user performance like your guitars.
Excellent mix and a terrific video.
No doubt about the amount of planning and effort that went into this and we most enjoyed the outcome!

VERY modern jazz funk club of the 70s. I almost didn't listen though - the "title music" at the beginning is anodyne and almost turned me away. It might be better suited to the end. The kick drum sounds wrong in the quieter passage...all click and no thud. There're some lovely parts in this one but there're not enough of them repeated to ctreate some sense of SONG as opposed to jam. Nice mix.

I'm a sucker for great bass riffs and this one really does the job, wow.... A very fine and marvellously produced piece of funky stuff - a fantastic start into 2021. Thanks a lot and stay safe,

Thank you very much Stefan! Even if I play guitar, I do really love bass indeed, such a wonderful instrument! Thanks again, and happy new year!
Nice guitars. Super cool bass (wish you had noted what BIAB track that was...). Sax sound good. The brass stabs are cool (did you say where they came from?).
