Busting A Move
I drank a bottle of Geritol then had a couple of cups of coffee and came up with this little ditty....just kidding! Just me having some fun. Note that I couldn't come up with a title for this song so I just borrowed the styles' name! BiaB style = Bust A Move MIDI Classic Funk Tempo = 110 BPM I only kept the bass, drums, and percussion from this style. I did modify these tracks slightly to better the song. Bass - Ample Bass - JazzII Drums - Steven Slate's SSD - Funk 2 kit Percussion - various Kontakt patches Hand Claps - UVI Workstation - GM - standard drum kit Me - Keyboard - Swam Alto sax and UVI Workstation - B5II (B3 organ) Me - rhythm and lead guitars A number of effects where also used in this song. PS - After I posted this a saw that it need more.......guess what!
I arrived early to a restaurant.
The manager asks, "do you mind waiting a bit?"
I said no.
"Good", he said. "Take these drinks to table 3"

I had to go to Google to find out what Geritol was. Apparently it's for geriatrics so it might be tad too strong for you, Mario. Nevertheless, it seems to have worked on this occasion and you 'ditty' works well on all fronts (sax could be a little more up-front though).

That woke me up. I need some of that Geritol!
Mario,
Catchy stuff. Nice work on the sax and lead! Excellent arrangement and mix. 2 spins, listens very well!
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Interesting way to get inspired ;-) I really like the set in of the electric guitar at 1:06. I also detect a Wah-wah pedal. Is that an RT or are you playing it yourself? Rob

Yeah, Mario busting a move. Gotta hear that!! FUN-KEY. You always do a terrific job of getting all the right players to present your tunes in such a polished way. Geritol! Haha. The ads always reminded me of Traveling Joe's Magic Elixir that cures everything. WC Fields claimed, "It cures hoarseness. Well, this song will cure many things, especially ailments of mood. A cool funky sound, Mario.

Thanx Rob for commenting. Yes that is my on the wah-wah. Actually I am using Amplitube 5 amp sym that I added a wah-wah to it. I am controlling the pedal with the same X-15 foot board that I use with my MIDI sounds.

You didn't come up with the title, but it fits.  Bass works especially well. Fun listen.
