Groove Moves
If you are in the groove you have to move! This is one of the very few songs that I did not start in BiaB. I was messing around with Scaler and came up with a short chord progression that I transferred to my DAW, Studio One Pro 5.5. I repeated that process a couple of times to get a complete song. I put the chords into BiaB, selected the style, and the rest is history. BiaB style = East Coast Groove - Funky Boogal Tempo = 120 PBM The scaler track = Keys of the 70's - Stage Mark 73 Bass - Ample Bass - YingYang Piano = UVI Workstation - B5 organ Guitar - I copied this track 2 more times. I deleted all but one part per track and where there wasn't third part I added one. First part -Trumpet - Kontakt - Screaming Trumpet Second part - Swam Trumpet Third part - Swam Tenor Sax Strings - Swam Bari Sax Drums - Steven Slate SSD5 - Funk kit Hand Claps - UVI Workstation - GM drums - standard kit Maracas - Kontakt - Maracas Tambourine - Kontakt - Tambourine I modified a few tracks to my liking and hopefully yours also. I am playing the guitar and via my keyboard controller the Swam Alto Sax I added the Little Plate preset full plate reverb to a few tracks, Waves CDA drums on the drums and cymbals, and Presonus Pro EQ on the master track. As always I welcome all comments.

Nice! The set-in of the electric guitar right after the saxophone at 1:00 was unexpected, but it works. In general, I think you may want to try RealDrums instead of GM/VST(I) drums in a future recording. They will probably sound better, albeit it can sometimes be a little bit hard to find the correct RD. We are still using BIAB 2019. Do they already have a "best chording/fitting" RD in recent versions? If not, that would be a nice feature :-). Since you are pretty good with a MIDI controller, may I take this opportunity to request a soul/disco instrumental next time? With a trumpet lead (something in the style of Street Player - Chicago)? (hint, hint: RD Soul70sPercEv16)?  Rob

I prefer MIDI drums because MIDI does an excellent job emulating drums, using of course a good sound source, and the fact that I can easily modify any drum or cymbal part. I can not easily do that with RDs. However I do not knock RDs or RTs as many put them to excellent use and in fact I will occasionally use them myself. No promises but I will give it a try when time permits. Right now I have a lot going on.

Mario,
Man does that guitar sound good when it comes in! I love the whole track! I like it when you switch gears like this and throw in something upbeat as opposed to a lot of the dreamy ethereal material you post, which by the way is always excellent! Keep on rockin'
Thanks, Torrey

Thanks, Torrey Torrey, thanx so much for this kind review. A Windows update made a mess of my AmpliTube guitar sim so I had to use an older different amp sim. I thought it came out OK also. Thanx for noticing.

Very nice, Mario, good groove. I especially like your guitar work on this one, good tone and chops. Sax is cool too of course!

There's a lot to love here with the all around excellent performances by you and the production.
However, the most positive comment I can offer is that Janice said, "it gives me happy feet!"
Trust me (Bud) that says it all!

Pleasant chord progression with lots of melancholy, little bit upbeat at one part, some fusion feeling with the guitar and then ending with a major chord. The introduction of the electric guitar is very nice, like Santana joining the band and the crowd cheering. The brass instruments support the groove effectively.

Howdy Mario.... I agree with previous posts. Cool, smooth, easy listening groove. Makes me want to have a stiff G&T while watching the waves and the birds.  Well done!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
