Jamstix allows editing at the macro level, but there's no "play less kick drums" option like there is in EZDrummer.

You know who's the first to blame their tools. wink

I haven't figured out how to non-destructively edit things in Jamsticks. If there's a "freeze" sort of option, I haven't found it. So rather than risk losing settings (again), I left it As-Is.

I should have rendered the MIDI out and edited that, but I haven't figured out how to record the MIDI in my DAW yet. I'm sure it's simple, I just haven't gotten around to looking.


And yes, I know that it's not just the drum that's too busy.

Not sure if the horns sit a little too much in front of the mix, but maybe this is the intention.

The horns are up-front on purpose, but that doesn't mean that's the best choice.

I like the chord structure and interesting changes. The further I listened the more I became involved.

Thanks! smile

There are a lot of stepwise chordal movements, as well as major to minor and minor to major shifts - something I don't do a lot of. I also cribbed a few notes from a video that talked about how Burt Bacharach would occasionally wander out of key.

Good job, no question.

I'm glad you liked it!

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