I was getting tired of using flute VSTis that say they work with CC2 (wind controller volume) but don't. That means I have to do all of the volume changes by hand; I am good at it but it gets old fast. So for our 56th wedding anniversary the wife chipped in and I bought the Swam Flutes. They are fantastic. This started as a jam but I made it into a song, at least I hope I did.
BiaB style = Queeny2 - 80s Brit Ev16 Pop-Rock Tempo = 100BPM
I deleted the bass, guitar, and strings. Drums - Addictive2 - funk Piano - Arturia B3. I modified this track to better fit t the song. I am playing the Bass, guitar, and via my wind controller the flute.
As always all comments are welcomed.
You know you're getting old when a recliner and a heating pad is your idea of a hot date!

I'm always amazed at how versatile that wind controller is and your mastery of it. This could easily be called Happy Little Flute. An enjoyable listen for sure, great job.

You and that wind controller make some mighty fine music! Such a light and happy song. I can see where the word marriage of "Funky" works great with "flute". But I do agree with Bass Thumper that "Happy" fits the music better than funky. Just one old guy's opinion. You can treat my opinions as my wife does - more filler for the trash can!
Hi Mario Sounds very good The wind controller is really a cool thing. What does the wind controller actually look like ? Well done Mario Many greetings Andi ;-)
"I made it into a song, at least I hope I did." Well, you sure did, Mario. Love the simple background instruments, and YES those flutes sound terrific --and they sound much quicker to use. I know what you mean about "good at it but it gets old fast." The juice ain't worth the squeeze--labor-intensive with little or no creativity. Plemty of creativity here. Love the effortless trills.

Steve, it could be called "Happy Little Flute Owner"!
Thanx for listening.

That's a great sound. Love the bass and the way the flute sits in the mix. Great tune!

Thanx Bob. I glad that you commented on my bass playing. It is an instrument that many times gets ignored.

Thanx Marty. I'm glad you enjoyed this little jam like song.
"They are fantastic." Yes they are!
You went all out with that new toy! Man, those are some cool licks indeed.
Nice bass too and the drums pop like they oughta.
Excellent!

Thanx so much for noticing the bass and drums. I am not where as good as the RT pros but I do enjoy playing my instruments. Thanx for listening and commenting.

ood csll to drop the tracks you did because your replacement parts are excellent! Love the new flute also! you have constructed a very good tune here! A really clean sounding production!
Cool and Funky! LOVE that Bass!! Flute sounds great. Great job with the WC A fun tune...

Thanx so much Floyd for listening and commenting, especially about the bass. As being a guitarist I try not to play the bass as a guitar. Sometimes I regress and start playing the bass as a guitar.

Thanks TB
Thanx so much Torrey. All of the Swam instruments I have sound great. The down side is that they are expensive but sometimes you get what you pay for and in Swam instruments you do.
