Wondering Thoughts
Just let your mind wonder while listening. BiaB style = Question - Smooth Jazz Tempo = 70 BPM I deleted the bass part Strings 1 - Kontakt - Solid State Strings I copied the string track Strings 2 = Kontakt - Amadeus Full Choir Piano - Keys of the 70's - Stage Mark 73 Guitar - Kontakt - Jazz Guitar Drums = SSD Percussion - Kontakt - Brio Ensemble I am playing the fretless bass and via my MIDI keyboard controller the tenor sax FX - reverb on all but the bass guitar and kick drum Kick drum - Waves CLA drums Fretless bass - Amplitube 5, Presonus Pro EQ, Waves Bass Rider This is an experiment on using my MIDI keyboard controller along with my ART X-15 pedal board. I took my ART out of storage (I haven't used it in about 20 years), bought an 5 pin MIDI to USB converter (USB was not that popular back then), grabbed the manual (thank God I keep manuals), and programmed the right expression pedal to expression (CC11), the left expression pedal to the tenor sax's vibrato (CC4). I also used the mod wheel to control the sax's growl (CC!) while playing the notes with my right hand. As I sometimes keep forgetting to move my feet I did have to do some editing. So let me know, good or bad, how you think the sax sounds. Thanx
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

I like it Mario, great job. My mind didn't wonder but it wandered. It wandered to a made up James Bond 007 scene where he falls in love with the lovely lady but they both realize it would never work

Mario,
I have never been a fan of instrumentals, for the most part. . . but I always enjoy clicking on what you have to offer because I know I’ll hear something engaging . . . and this is no exception. Cool and soulful, slick mix . . . Well done!
Hope all is well in your world,
Deej

Mario: As i was listening here is what happened.
you've really got me thinking
drifting in and out
peaceful as i listen
thats what life's about
it's the writer in me
that make the lyrics come
inspiration puts pen to paper
feeling this (well done)

Mario...I was going to write something...but my mind wondered off...I'm finding that's become very easy for me to do...this is a cool piece and is very relaxing and meandering (in a good way)...I think I would have liked the sax more dominant in spots...other than that............I missed my train I guess? What were we talking about?

Mario, I like this one a lot, it has a wonderful mood.
Funnily enough what makes this song work for me are the parts which are NOT created via BIAB, the saxophone and the nice bass-motives :-)

Beautiful, but melancholic track!
Sounds like you are getting along very well without the wind controller ;-).
