Going to Get Gas


Have you ever gotten a little funked up going to a gas/petrol station?
Well neither have we but we came up with that title and we're keeping it.

JonD came over and we came up with the chord progression, the style, and the title!

BiaB style = Curtis M Slow Blues
Tempo = 75 BPM
Bass - Ample Bass - preset - YingYang
Piano - Kontakt - Retro Machines - preset - DX7 EP
Strings - Kontakt - Vintage Organ - preset - Whiter Shade
Guitar - Kontakt - Vintage Horns - preset - JB Section - track modified to cover the entire brass range

Me- Kontakt - Swam - Tenor Sax
Me - guitar - Amplitube 5

FX - reverb on all but the bass and drums

All of the drums were on separate tracks with each track getting Wave's CLA drums FX

As always all comments are welcomed.

Going to Get Gas

I am digging the geetar solo... but it needs to be louder, I'm almost straining to listen.

Funky tune... Very cool vibe.
Love the bass and horns.
Especially love the song title...

Mario,

Very funky!
The assignment of vst instruments to each MIDI part is wonderful.
My preference is a slightly faster tempo.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Funky.

Horns are nice.

Bass is super cool! Great sound.

Nice guitar.

What a groove! :-) Grinning from ear to ear, here. Bravi.

Mario, you've got a great little toe-tapper there. I love the bass, had me hooked from the start and that guitar work is really good too!

Wow Mario very cool piece. Love the drums. The kick was excellent. I ventured out in the car the other day and got to experience the current gas prices. Got gas twice.. Super song well done..

Yes, this really cooks.

The drums sound great. I am looking forward to messing with those stems myself.

You are telling a guitarist to be louder? Are you sure you want to do that.

I probably should have had it a little louder.

Thanx for listening and that constructive comment; I appreciate it.

Thanx so much for leaving such nice comments. I appreciate them.

Thanx so much for listening and the very nice comments.

Maybe it could be a little faster?

I'm glad you liked it.

Thanx Floyd. I liked that bass track also, plus it is all BiaB, i.e straight as received and not modification on my part. That plus that YingYang bass make a super couple.

I'm glad you liked it James.

Thanx for listening and commenting Scott.

Yes gas it way to expensive!

Got gas twice! You're lucky. I saw the price of gas per gallon and it scared the....well never mind

Thanx David.

Those are not stems. The drums are from Steven Slate's SSD5 drum program. The track is from straight from BiaB. I separated each drum onto its own track and each drum track got some Waves' CLA drum tweaking via FX buses.

The drums really pop. SWAM sax still sounds like a real sax to me!

Sounds good to me!

Great groove! The drums sounds really good as does the bass. Guitar could be louder, should be as loud as the horns IMHO.

Good track Mario, enjoyed!

Hi Mario,

That is some song! Nice funky rhythm and a lot going on left and right in my ears.
I'm not sure that guitar has to be louder, I rather think you located it too far to the left
The drums sound very fat/full, like that.
I almost wanted to check my petrol meter...

Funky fun. What a gas. Great jam. The title is rich, or at least you'd have to be to fill your tank this well. Those drums are killer, man. The whole piece is quite interesting with all of those instruments coming in and out without stepping on toes. Well written and played, Mario.

Cool!
That's sort of a Jazzy Funk.

Nice work.

Hi Mario
Sounds really cool
As one is used to it from you ;-)
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Thanx so much David. I really like the SAWM saxes and trumpets.

Thanx Dave. I'll make a note about keeping my guitar volume up.

Hans, thanx for this great review!

Thanx Marty for listening and commenting. I'm learning with each song and this time I concentrated on the drums.

Thanx captain!

Thanx Andi for this kind review.

I guess "Going to the bank and then to get gas" was too long?

You guys never fail to produce creative and engaging productions.

Great funk and you did a tremendous job of setting up the soundstage with all those tracks.

Everything cuts through and nobody steps on his neighbor.

Needless to say the performances are "hittin' the note" good!

Well done!

Cool funk is always welcome Enjoyed the chord progression. I like the fusion style guitar solo. Very nice work with the horns. I probably would have liked the song even more if the title had been "Going to Let Out Gas"

Janne

Mario...another instrumental gem...love the guitar work.

Nice title.
Very funky.
But... may I say I prefer your "sweeter" music?

Anne-Marie

Mario,
I assume petrol vapor had nothing to do with this?
Cool funky tune. Wow on the sax parts! Nice work on drums too. Nothing sticks out and listens very well.
Congrats on neat collab and thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Mario,

A timely title, and with it in mind, I can see the cars l lined up on the gas lines, waiting to get to the pump. Nice production--the horns are really, really solid. Fine work!

All my best,

Deej

Thanx so much for this kind review.

Note that I remortgaged my house so I could fill up my gas tank!

Janne, great idea on the title change

Thanx so much for listening and commenting

Thanx for listening and commenting. I appreciate it.

Thanx. And yes you can say that you prefer my "sweeter" music, not a problem here.

Thanx Misha. I really like those Swam saxes. They are the most realistic sounding saxes I have found.

Thanx so much Deej.

Good title that fits, but I already have gas. Pass the Beano!

Another good one and a cool one. Groovin' all the way.

Hi MarioD,

the playing of brass and horns is excellent. It's a jazzy funky that I appreciate. Well done

Kindly regard

Hi Mario,

Sensational stuff!!!

You've really got that wind controller tamed, these days. Your MIDI skills are on full display here and I'm listening with awe at what you've done.

You've got my standing ovation!

All the best,
Noel

Nice work on the multi track drums.
I enjoyed, as always, your guitar playing in particular.
