Back again after a long time to this forum - a tedious time of trying to make BIAB render my songs including MIDI and failing miserably, so I ended up buying a little BOSS digital recorder and life is much easier now!!!

Anyway, here is a simple little song to see if I have remembered how this posting lark works. This one was inspired by a sound I found on my SD50 which bounces the lead round.

Style is _ADVOC8.STY (Advocate Soul with Cascara Perc)

RealTracks in style: 3392:Bass, Electric, SocaA Ev16 120
RealTracks in style: 1577:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Soul60sSync Ev 110
RealTracks in style: 3645:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm FingerIndieFolkAccent2Mute3 Ev 110
RealDrums in style:70s Soul w Cascara Perc [Multi]
SOloist is 1442 Sax Alto

Rest is me.

Hello, Peter. Welcome back!! That sax solo is fine. The piano solo (you?) seems to go from ear to ear in my headphones. I really like the taste, but it seemed harder to grasp. Since I wasn't here when you were, I listened to a couple more. Cool progressions.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Yes, not totally convinced by bouncing lead, but it was a bit of fun. Will post another more normal track next time.

Cheers

Hi Peter ...

Love this genre of music - the percussions are sweet! Nice sax solo - fits perfectly.

The L-R phasing of the piano lead is interesting, but perhaps better left to just one verse. Just my take. Feel free to ignore if it doesn't work for you.

nice to hear you back on the forum! Take care ...

Peter, super groove you have going on in this one.

I liked everything but the ping-ponging of the piano does slightly detract from this excellent song.

Two thumbs up.

OK, thanks for all the comments, I have taken off the ping pong lead, replaced it with a straight soft lead and updated soundcloud.

Cheers
Peter
