lowdown

I agree with julesb, about the sound and use of headphones. Great playing all round, top stuff.

[size=4]As deepbass5, 40 years worth of depping and regular functions/weddings. During the 80' and 90's I worked for a couple of well known high society function band leaders. Anything thing from six piece up to twenty piece bands, gigs world wide for very well know celebs, private parties for royalty, political gatherings, corporate trade shows etc. The Rhythm section often had to play through the dinner courses, the hours would be very, very long. Some weeks there might even be seven nights of work, including Jewish gigs, West End tea dances, strict Tempo comps. Small band afternoon gigs in London Hotels would pop up as well, so you might have two gigs in a day. Always top players and singers on the gigs, so usually very enjoyable. Some of the overseas gigs where a riot socially. [/size]

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Works (for me). Songs In the Key of Life always divides folk, but works for me. Although I am not a great Who fan, I thought Quadrophenia worked. All Jazz albums work

Some Classical Brass and Woodwinds for Kontakt (Freebies). Sound nice and would be good for layering as well. http://alpineproject.wix.com/main

If so, a really good deal going on here for REX or RMX Expansion packs, or you can get both on an extra deal. http://vstbuzz.com/deals/96-off-ultimate-rmx-30k-bundle-worth-2400/

Seems like there is a deal on until the end of March for KK S61 + Komplete 10 Ultimate. £760.00 plus free delivery. http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/computer-music/midi-equipment/105209-native-instruments-komplete-kontrol-s61-with-komplete-10-ultimate

If you are talking about transcriptions, this site is good. Very accurate parts and plenty of style variation. http://thebassment.info/transcriptions.html

If it is this, looks like you have to go the US App Store. http://www.macworld.com/article/1153892/looptastichd.html Website. http://www.djpuzzle.com/looptasticloops.html

A couple of things. The Presonus Studio One V3 software that come with the Interface, does not have support for VST fx and instruments, you have to pay extra for that. Although it comes bundled with a couple of internal synths and some fx. The iPad App works as a controller and was just updated yesterday. So was Studio One, and it's a pretty impressive upgrade (my boys have it). TouchOSC for iPad will control Reaper (or any DAW for that matter), not sure if there are many templates out there, but it's pretty easy to set them up. I have done this with Cubase and it works a treat. http://hexler.net/software/TouchOSC (£5.00) You would need the midi bridge as well, along with the software for your Puter (both fee links at the bottom of the above page link). TouchOSC is one of the best controller apps about. Excellent for Midi cc# controlling, along with audio of course.

Voted - Good stuff people.

I think it all stemmed from when Nathan East was playing while he was dancing. He certainly played on pretty much all the studio stuff. And when someone was playing for him, wasn't it because he had some illness? The gig with Nate East on. http://youtu.be/mfagqCcyE6g

Nice sale over at ARIA Sounds. http://www.ariasounds.com

[quote name='Stickman' timestamp='1456137083' post='2985648'] I don't normally weigh in on these discussions but I had to address the notion of this video being 'sped up'. These two players are not bedroom shredders - Gergo is Gary Willis's current drummer and has played with the likes of DiMeola, Mintzer, Bullock etc. whilst Mohini is the bass player for AR Rahman's band (a very prolific composer and producer, holder of numerous music awards), she has also performed with John Mclaughlin's former bandmates Zakir Hussain and Naveen Kumar (the latter of whom I have also had the honour of playing live with) - neither of them have the need to impress through any fakery. Both artists have been playing since the tender age of 3 and have put serious hours in to their craft. [/quote] Exactly.

[quote name='geofio' timestamp='1456094753' post='2985403'] Would not use a pc for recording , Mac is the only way to go for serious recording, there are always issues with pc been there done that. no matter the power of the pc/lapotop they just don't hack it for multitrack recording don.t waste your money on a pc is my 20 years recording music advice!!!! [/quote] They are both reliable and are often used together these days. A popular set up in the media music world, especially with composers. PC [i]or[/i] Mac running VSL VE5 slaved with Mac [i]or[/i] PC, Anything from two machines via Ethernet upwards in combinations of Mac [i]and[/i] PC. Or even just one Puter (PC or Mac) running VSL. All FX and Soft Synths are then hosted outside of the DAW, resulting in no CPU hit on the DAW. Things have changed a lot in twenty years.

Musician. That's whats on my tax returns.

[quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1455870498' post='2983050'] Given that the majority of Beatles songs were Lennon/McCartney collaborations (even in their later period there was still an element of collaboration) I think it fair to say that, broadly, they were better together than apart. [/quote] I kinda agree, although 'Wings' were a pretty big selling successful band. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McCartney_and_Wings
