Hi all,

I've just finished my new song, "Sunday morning with you". This is what we could say some kind of Acid jazz (jazz, hip hop, funk) tune based on the principles of loops. There are 2 loops (A and B) constantly repeating but each new loop comes with a special "goodies".

RT styles :
WESTCST
EASTCST
TAKETWO

Added various soloists.
I play the guitar as you will see

Mixed in Reaper, OTT, Ozone9. I used THU plugin for the guitar sounds (clean and semi overdrive).

Here it is, hope you will like it

REALLY liked it! Excellent production, and superb use of the RT's and loops. I thought the whole thing was excellent, and I took away some learnings about BIAB from listening to your work. Thanks so much for posting!

Really, really well done - reminds me of some of the downtempo/trip-hop stuff coming out of Bristol in the 90's. The groove fantastic, and I love the smooth laid back vibe here. Thanks for sharing!

Man, that is great.

A wonderful display of the power of BiaB, loops and a personal performance in the hands of a talented musician.

A showcase on the showcase.

And topped off with a well done vid.

Interesting term Deryk used ... "trip hop" ...Yeah!

Excellent!

Mellow composition. Lots of variety on top of the loops, so it was interesting throughout.

Nicely done!

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

I'm not familiar with Acid Jazz, but I certainly liked what I heard. The "special goodies" were a delightful feast. Definitely ear candy.
