Smooth tune - I like the progression and the arrangement (and a good RT sax part). Good listening.

One possible suggestion. You might try bringing in the strings later in the tune to enhance the development and flow of the track.

Hello Mike,

definitely sounds smooth!
Is that the new free sample tank version or the paid one?

Thank you all for listening and suggestions. Rob, this is the new SP3 free version. Very good one and amazing sounds, although at this point not a great sound selection yet.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for sharing this. Easy to listen to. Being new to BB,it also gives me an idea what can be done with this software.

I have enjoyed many of the styles of music posted on this site and this is one of them.

Cheers,


Billy

Mike,

I'm not a big jazz fan - like some, not others - I always like yours. Always nicely melodic.

Nice mix. The sax is cool. I don't much care for the synth - the lead instrument at the beginning - maybe the clav? (I'm not a fan of that synth sound). Little thing, though... everything else is nice. Good percussion..

Thank you Guenter, Floyd, Gruve, and Billy; I'm using BB since 2007 and still learning stuff about it, and yes why not to say it still amazed on how much stuff you can do with it. Imagination is the only limit in my opinion.
Thanks again

Mike B.

Nice track. I agree with floyd that the lead keys seems a bit weak as a lead instrument, and that it's a good listen.

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

Mke,

I've been out of pocket quite a bit this year myself, and almost missed this one. Like Floyd, I am not a huge fan of jazz, but I do always enjoy your work. This one is really nice. The sax fits in well with everything. Good job on all the parts you played and the mix.
