Smoothies (on Ice) - Have one for the night on me, folks wink

Made this with quite some 'help' from the BBox Melodist (a "Kenny G" one in this case, just changed the instrument), chords plucked straight from the smooth jazz style's demo song. And now, the 'formalities':

Title: Smoothies (on Ice)

Soloist: 1075:Piano, Electric, Soloist SmoothBallad Delay Ev16 065 (Bluesy)
Style is =SJAZZBL.STY
Style MIDI Instruments are: Synth String #1 (51),
RealTracks in song: 908:Bass, Electric, SmoothBallad Ev16 065
RealTracks in song: 910:Piano, Electric, Rhythm SmoothBallad Ev16 065
RealTracks in song: 1072:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm SmoothJazzBallad Ev16 065
RealDrums: RealDrums in Song: SmoothJazzBallad

Other sound sources come via plugins (ST for the melody and a custom selected soundfont for the synth).

Now kick back with a cool one and just enjoy! cool

Thank you. That t show rings a faint bell, but I can't say I ever watched it, let alone remember the music...now I'm inclined to go look for it grin

Thank you so much, especially for that word "production"! I realise that once I said "Melodist" and "chords plucked from" it may have made it all seem like aside from pressing a few buttons I didn't really do anything! crazy
So thanks for the acknowledgement to the contrary cool

Couldn't have put it any better than J&B.

Cool and smooth in equal measures.

All the best,

After getting too busy results with that soloist piano numerous times, I decided to try that obscure "around melody" option that I usually never use - worked perfectly for this case cool

Very nice work, we've used the melodist ourselves quite a bit (in our early days).
This one certainly is smooth.

Thanks for that. Interestingly enough, I myself practically never use the Melodist unless I'm testing a sound source or (as this one started) the potential usability of some RT style, for which I very much favour having some melody structure on top. They do adapt to some degree and almost any style sounds somehow more "real" if they're actually backing up something.
This particular one just turned out so good on the melody front that I thought it deserved the preservation...and judging by the feedback, people seem to agree cool

Thanks for that sentiment, but well...you keep asking me to stick around (or come back, whichever be more fitting), but then you also keep insisting on addressing me as "Eddy", even when I keep saying that's not my name confused

I just mean, it makes one unsure of it's actually me you keep encouraging to "come back" and "stick around" wink
