[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1465390688' post='3067765'] Dave Panichi (the bearded trombonist he's ranting at towards the end of the recordings) said that Rich was guaranteed to kick off after seeing his wife, any time his dope ran out or when there were guests on the bus to show off in front of. So yes, it does point at the rants being triggered by issues other than the performance. And Panichi wasn't actually sacked after this altercation - he says that Rich rarely followed through on any of his threats. I wonder if Panichi even shaved in the end? [/quote] Dave Panichi talking about the tapes (towards the bottom of the article). A good read. http://jazztimes.com/articles/20010-the-buddy-rich-tapes

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1465385719' post='3067698'] Steve Marcus......just an unreal musician. Terrifyingly good. [/quote] Yep, indeed.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1465344909' post='3067474'] Why am I the only one on Buddy's side? Blue [/quote] You are not, Blue. Having worked for one or two 'over the top' West End Function Band leaders and Conductors in the past, it's just water off a ducks back for me. You tend to play your arse off with all the other good players in the band, take the money, go away and have a good, good laugh about it all with the other musicians. Or indeed, record it and have a laugh, along with the rest of the world. You tend not to take it seriously, as I doubt the guys in the OP tape did. (After all, they mostly kept turning up again for the next show). Also, there is a history with a couple of those players involved on the OP tape. It was his band and he thought people were taking the mickey. He charged a lot of money to perform with his band, it needed to be good ALL the time. They were not some Dog and Duck Bar Room Band. There were players who hated him, but, an awful lot liked him and spoke highly of him. On another note. Some of the guys in his band played with him for years (Steve Marcus twelve years), who claim the musical experience helped them a lot. It wasn't all bad. Buddy was also a throw back to the 40's/50's and 60's type band leaders, I suppose he thought he had some kind of show business image to keep up with. After all, the business of show, was his thing. Would people get away with that kind of thing today? I doubt it. There have been plenty of famous Band Leaders/MD's and Conductors over the years, whose horrendous reputations, made Buddy Rich seem like a pussy cat Of course, it does go a long way with your musicians if you are nice to them. But who wants to hear a pleasant tour band conversation on YouTube?

Yes, it was excellent. Terrific musicianship on show.

[quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1465294675' post='3066796'] it was so offensive that the thread just died off...... until you came here with your two posts and dragged it up from the basement... [/quote]

Voted - Well done all.

I love this solo, in fact, didn't Bilbo post it up a while back?

[quote name='funkgod' timestamp='1464369183' post='3058978'] ok iv emailed will, and what a great guy, he got right back to me "I used a Seamoon “Funk Machine” pedal on that one- it was my favorite envelope pedal, but you can’t find those anymore!" Cheers Will. so ...mystery solved, it was one of these.... iv got the sniffer dogs out now.. [url="http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/seamoon/funkmachine"]http://www.effectsda...oon/funkmachine[/url] [/quote] Great stuff !!

Although for W10, there is a thread running for movie editors. If you check the specs on the suggestions, I am sure there will be stuff for W7. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/285632-video-editing-in-windows-10/

More than likely been posted before. I am a Chick Corea fan, so it pains me to post this, but it is funny... Oh man, the Bass... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clF_SNa23lI

I know this thread is a two man show with the odd groupie hanging on, But, another $20.00 gem has landed. Very unique sounds and you can do some very clever tricks with it. A real Diamond. http://impactsoundworks.com/products/electronic/sonic-forest/

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1464030051' post='3055950'] Wow those Solo Strings sound way better than in the demos! Glad you convinced me to buy them [/quote] Yep, they are very good. I think the deals are on because of a launch of their new website. Even without the 50% off, still pretty good price.

^^^^ Come on, spill the beans... Video interview with Will Lee. http://www.ny1.com/nyc/bronx/one-on-1/2015/05/18/one-on-1-profile--will-lee-closing-out-33-years-as-bassist-in-david-letterman-s-band.html

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1463999063' post='3055604'] Another Will Lee/Anton Fig rhythm section. Love this one. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCkx5O7zUU0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCkx5O7zUU0[/url] [/quote] Yes, great. I like the way they mess with the meter (pardon the pun) on the head, and it still sits.

[quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1464002988' post='3055635'] You are right! I put it down to old farts memory or lack thereof. Although I thought I remembered catching a few shows with Hiram AND Anton playing? Nah probably not.... my fevered imagination again. [/quote] You might well have seen Hiram, possibly depping.

Yep, HB was great, but I think Steve Jordan was Drumming back then, not Anton Fig ? The Worlds Most Dangerous Band? Not sure why I am getting all busy and Geeky, they are all great.

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1463945825' post='3055254'] Heh, I ended up going for Storm Choir in the VST Buzz sale instead! [url="http://vstbuzz.com/deals/60-off-storm-choir-1-by-strezov-sampling/."]http://vstbuzz.com/d...ezov-sampling/.[/url] [/quote] I was looking at that, sounds lovely, but has no dynamics, it's just full on fff. I ended up with Soundiron Elements, it has various dynamics, key switching and more vowels. The divisi legato sounds very nice. I suppose at the end of the day, they all sound great, it's what is best for your needs. [url="http://soundiron.com/products/olympus-elements-kontakt-player-edition"]http://soundiron.com...-player-edition[/url] Re the Kirk Hunter strings, for around £12.00 for (excellent) solo strings, it is bargain of the year. Plenty of key switches and articulations. Even If you don't use them for small ensemble writing, they sound great as layers on top of other libraries. Another nice freebie here from FluffyAudio. Some very nice sound design sounds. [url="http://fluffyaudio.com/shop/aurorror/"]http://fluffyaudio.com/shop/aurorror/[/url] Wavefactory do a nice collection of Instruments that are very cheap. http://www.wavesfactory.com/index.php They also do some freebies, the DrumCircle is very usable. http://www.wavesfactory.com/drumcircle.php

An excellent deal at the moment from Kirk Hunter. 50% off everything. Just use code 50OFF https://www.kirkhunterstudios.com/ Solo Strings work out at $20.00!!, and they sound great. https://www.kirkhunterstudios.com/products/solo-strings-1/

[quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1463923494' post='3054976'] Fantastic player. Him and Anton Fig together KILLED. [/quote] A nice little bunch of grooves from the pair. along with Paul Shaffer and Sid McGinnis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jerKF5nuqM

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1463859037' post='3054630'] Still, lots of cheesy fun so no harm in sticking it up again [/quote] Absolutely, always worth an encore.

Yep great version, I posted this last year. WL does a terrific job along with an outstanding Orchestra. Love the cake at the end... Wasn't Will the voice of Ronald MacDonald many moons ago? I am sure I read that somewhere. I know he did commercial vocal sessions as well as Bass.

This is excellent. Great stuff dude.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1463272429' post='3050134'] A few noodles using Philharmonik. The first three with the 'normal' mode; one can hear the awful slurring due to lousy fingering on my part. The instrument must be tuned spot on, I find. The last four are using the 'chromatic' mode, where pitch bending doesn't occur (harp, string section...)... I've no idea if this will help anyone, but the gadget does what I want to use it for.I'm keeping it (but keeping my keyboard, too..!). [url="http://soundcloud.com/dad3353/sonuus-4"]Sonuus 4 ...[/url] [/quote] Thank's for that. As we were looking for adding CC#'s and taking advantage of expression maps, articulations, etc, we decided to go another route. USB breath controller, along with our trusted old AKAI MidiMix (slider controller). There are plenty of good reviews around, plus it has been tested with Omnisphere, Kontakt, VSL and Spitfrire Audio. http://www.tecontrol.se/products/usb-midi-breath-controller Demo videos. https://www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/tec-breath-controller-is-cool.233209/

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1463423084' post='3051270'] It's been seven hours and fifteen days. [/quote] Now that she has been found.

Wasn't Colin Hodgkinson doing it back then as well ? He was also doing chordal work along with soloing.
