@cubanpete - This track is quite lovely. I'm a big fan of jazz and of this flavor, so its a real pleasure to listen to. The instruments sound excellent - even the horns and woodwinds sound natural which takes some good equipment or software to do.

May I ask briefly how to put the melody parts in place? I've tried to enter things like that manually via MIDI or notation, but its very tedious and for me at least, its hard to keep track of phrasing when you're doing it measure by measure.

Overall a very smooth, sophisticated and sultry production - well done.

Hi Ed, here's the stats for this tune. As you can see this is an all real track and real drum piece. Once you have the chord progression the way you want it just generate the instruments parts or style and the program takes care of the rest. You can do this as many times as you need till it sound the way you want.

Well edited cubanpete.
The horn was a little strident in the 1st 30 seconds or so but things seemed to settle after that.


Cheers

Mike. You are a pro at arranging a great Jazz track and this one continues that tradition! Beautiful mix and blend of instrumentation! Kind of helps my mind escape the turmoil of the day! Enjoyed it! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Mike,

just like Noel said: tasteful. Everything is very enhjyable with this one. Could listen to it over and over again.

But it would be nice to know, if the solos are all BIAB or if there is some playing by yourself...

Happy Holidays,

Stefan

Wow - true the name, it really is a lovely tune. The mix is top notch, and I love the flow of this one. Got my toe tapping from the get go - the groove is fantastic.

You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing smile
