Hi, started out by trying this style with this particular RD and ended up with this tune which I think fits in the category of "Easy listening" or what many people call it "elevator music". I liked it so here it is https://www.reverbnation.com/cubanpete7/song/31574899-like-before

Style is _JAZSOUL.STY (Jazz Soul Groove)

Not quite elevator - pleasant, melodic, gentle but the lead instrument gets a little strident in spots - could be level or could be Freq based.

There's a stick hit or something at 1.31 that you could edit if inclined.

Really well done - love the groove on it, and the instrument choice is right on point. Delightfully easy on the ears. Definitely understand how you'd identify it as elevator music, but I definitely find this more engaging than your typical elevator tune.

Thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

That Bossa groove on the piano really carries the rhythm...very cool.

And ALL the other tracks go along nicely it it.

No elevator at all...simply a pleasant four minute ride!

Hi Mike ...

Have to agree with what Janice and Bud said. The one thing I might add is that the bass could come up just a bit in the mix.

It's a great song ... you know I really like this style!!! Sweet!

Best to you ...

Alan
