I am using realtracks for the "core" of this song. I added my guitar and some synth parts. I ran all of this through Presonus Studio One. I have found that if someone will really explore this BIAB software, you can do almost anything you want with it.

Welcome to the forum. You hit a home run with your first post. Really nice and very professionally produced and arranged.

Look forward to hearing more from you soon.

Thanks so much. I really appreciate that.

Torrey,

Welcome to the Showcase!

Excellent submission - in all regards. Nicely arranged. Well mixed. Nice crisp drums - I assume those are RealDrums?

Great pacing. Nice tone on your guitar and beautiful playing.

Looking forward to more.

Hi Torrey,

Kinda early morning here, well for me at least, crack of noon and all that...lol

This was a well done song that I enjoyed and I learned a lick or two from you. Cool stuff man.


Cheers,

I'm gonna go with the flow on this one and agree with everyone else.

Nice work, indeed.

Thanks for the music,

Great song to introduce yourself with. The mix

Thanks for posting. We enjoyed the listen.


J&B

+1 for me also.

Could you please list the Real Tracks and Real Drums you used for this song? I find that an excellent way to "audition" both in a real environment and this can give me ideas for my songs!

Welcome

Thanks for the positive input. The RealDrums used in this song were the Jazz Funk Urban set. The RealTracks used were Guitar - Jazz Funk Movin chords EV 16 130, Bass - Jazz Funk Movin Ev 16 130 and Vibes Rhythm Bossa 130. Everything else I played myself. Thanks, Torrey.

Hey Torrey, nice smooth jazz indeed. Good introduction to this forum. Hope to hear more from you.

Hi Torrey. That was beautiful and not too heavy. Cheers.

Hi Torrey,

Your composition is beautiful. On top of that, the playing is full of everything that matters most in music. Musicianship shines everywhere. The drum break section really appealed.

I enjoyed this a great deal.

All the best,
Noel

Thanks I appreciate the positive remarks.

Nice sounding production. Would not have thought it was your first posting using BiaB if you had not said so. Like your guitar playing. Looking forward to hearing more tunes. Welcome to the forum!

Torrey,

As you may have noticed, we often quote comments by others that express our own feelings about songs in this forum:)

Your submission is an excellent post, period!

Welcome.

Sweet tune and some hot playing, Torry. I kept waiting for Dave Pike to break into a vibe solo!
I'd be interested in some background - (guitar used/amp/effects/direct or mic'd, etc.)


Regards,

Bob

Welcome and what a super first post! Great guitar chops! Would you mind letting us know what kind of axe and how you recorded it? Thanx

I love smooth jazz and this fits right in perfectly. Perfect backing tracks for you lead work.



I agree.

Thanks so much for the kind words about the song. The guitar I used on this track is a Godin ACS SE USB. I ran it straight into my interface and into Presonus Studio One. I used Guitar Rig 4's compression and eq. I also used one of the stock reverbs that Presonus includes with their software. I put a backing track together on BIAB using every available track and sent the tracks individually to Studio One as a wave file and kept them on separate tracks adding some compression and eq there. I also recorded 3 other synth parts there and added some hand claps and a couple of other sound effects then mixed it all down adding some final compression to the master tracks. I spent the better part of a weekend from beginning to end on this song. Thanks for your interest. This was the first song of what will hopefully be an album full of similar type songs.

Thanks for the positive vibes (no pun intended). I have just posted some more info about what I did to record this tune.
