Nicely done. Great intro. I felt the sax was a bit too much 'in my face' at times but, overall, a pleasant relaxing vibe. Great start to my day.

Hi Mike,

This is a haunting and beautiful melody - well done.

Yes you may want to edit some of the Sax notes in your DAW - they jump out of the mix just a bit.

Those BIAB Jazz Real tracks are fabulous.

Best Regards
Nigel

Very nice. Sure liked that intro and the drum breaks. Nice blend of instruments, they work so well together it's amazing they are all Biab.

Thank you all for the comments and suggestions. Concerning the "louder sound" on the sax passages, I don't really hear them. I don't use close range monitors like many of you may use, I use my cans for everything so there might be a difference in perception there. Sorry about that.

Mike,

That really sounds nice! I actually had the tv on in the background when this came on and thought your track was the soundtrack for what was on the tube. I immediately thought this track is pretty good for me to have confused it for the tv soundtrack for a moment! Nice smooth song! Thanks, T

Wow!

A showcase on the showcase forum.

Anyone who does not appreciate the power of BiaB (and a talented user) needs to listen to this.

That solo piano and solo sax are outstanding as are the backing tracks.

Everything worked together to set up the smokey vibe.

And the mix sounds outstanding on our monitors.

Most enjoyable!

Old time smokey lounge jazz

PGMusic should use this in an BiaB advertisement

Mike, you are a master of blending RTs

Loved it

A great tune to just sit back and chill (which is what I'm doing with an All Day IPA in my hand)!

This was a very smooth, laid back, and relaxing song. It's something I'd expect to hear at a jazz club! Great stuff, thanks for sharing.


Cheers,
