[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1437045287' post='2823048'] I can still remember how I felt the first time I heard The Great Society's (later Jefferson Airplane's) White Rabbit. [/quote] I love that tune, although my preferred version is the George Benson/Don Sebesky version. I will check your posted version out a bit later

When I first heard this piece, it was a hairs standing up on the back of my neck moment. It still fascinates me and grabs my attention. Aaron Copeland. [media]http://youtu.be/4NjssV8UuVA[/media]

One of the better (DAW) Apps for Android is Audio Evolution Mobile. It has support for a lot of third party vendors. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.aemobile&hl=en_GB In many ways, similar to Cubasis on the iPad (and that is superb).

Got this album - David Sanborn on this track. Some serious players on this album, including Michael Brecker.

Just a heads up for Logic users. One of my boys uses Logic, and has got his eyes on this. It is for use with multi timbral synths or using multi midi tracks and/or key switching for articulations. Condenses it all down to one midi track with no clutter in PRV and score view editing. http://www.skiswitcher.com

Why is it a pain for you, just being curious really.

I use Steinberg E-Licenser and iLok and have not had any problems at all. Although, to be honest, I wouldn't like to use them on a Laptop. On my desktop, they are plugged in the back of my machine out of harms way. My Steinberg dongle also stores my VSL licenses, and my iLok is the second generation - So maybe the problems are with the earlier version(s).

Here you go. My attempt at the picture this month. https://soundcloud.com/garrycribb/floating-around

You have to get inside the clients head, they usually say one thing and mean another (not always of course). At the brief (as said above), try and get a musical directions. It's always do-able. But sometimes another composer my come up with a better idea that's do-able. If it's a cover or rehash, do they want the same tune in another style from another period at another tempo? Orchestral, EDM, Rock etc. Questions, ask questions, and be very polite about it.

(I believe it's Russ Stableford playing Bass). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlPc3i2_Kps And the 'Muppet Orchestra' website. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/The_Muppet_Orchestra

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1436469333' post='2818462'] After spending the last 3 years studying music. Having to learn ridiculously hard stuff where the whole thing is just the technique, and having lessons every week off people who's whole thing is technique, but have no idea about being creative. I'd rather hear a bassist playing music, and being creative, the whole playing fast, or slap or groove thing just bores me so much. [/quote] Just been listening to the tracks on your website (through headphones). Excellent and very, very relaxing. Great stuff.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1436206779' post='2816006'] Don't let Kanye West get anywhere near it ... [/quote]

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1435931331' post='2813761'] You could, of course, play G twice followed by Gb twice. It doesn't have to be complicated [/quote] What Bilbo said, especially when playing the head. Or R/5/5/R (going up and down) over that bar and the next bar, then open up over the solos.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1435830016' post='2812752'] Once again, it's not going to get any better if I mess around with it any more, and so I offer you ... [url="https://soundcloud.com/dad3353/concrete-jungle-solid-air"]Concrete Jungle, Solid Air ...[/url] Enjoy. [/quote] Ha, Ha, Stylus RMX! and my fave Drum and Perc module. Been using it for years - Up next for you, will be the bug for the expansion packs, dozens and dozens of them. ££££££££££££££££££££££ Four pages of Video tutorials here.

Well done Skol. I can't help thinking, that if Bilbo had added three extra semi quavers to his 13/8 composition, that he might have got three extra votes needed for victory.

[quote name='12stringbassist' timestamp='1435680641' post='2811386'] Pino is not the man for The Who.. [/quote] Pete and Roger think so.

Relaxed playing, with a nice tone. Good stuff. That's a catchy tune. Great for sitting in the shade with a cigar in one hand, a cold Pimms in the other, while staring out over the Mediterranean sea. (well that's what I am going to be doing for a few weeks, very soon).

Kayned proper - I agree.

[quote name='Cato' timestamp='1435598321' post='2810438'] Aaargh. I've got no idea how to edit a title, dammit. [/quote] Sorry about that. Ok, I think go to edit, then at the bottom next to '[i]save changes[/i]', click on use '[i]full editor[/i]', then you can edit your opening title as well as your post.

Side dish or main course?

[quote name='Apothem' timestamp='1435590142' post='2810334'] Mary J Blige, [/quote] A great band with her as well, Lionel's band really on it too. That Kayne character didn't stand a chance with his Laptop (bless him).

Sad news indeed.

Hater or plater, there is no getting away from it. It was awful. Just when you needed a hard drive to crash, it didn't.

Just to think - If that band on the bill called Motorhead, had kept to the original schedule, I would have missed them by an hour. Oh well, not really my kinda of Popular Beat Combo, m'lud.

I suppose Anthony Jackson was just the tea boy on dozens of albums and singles then. And there was me thinking he was a Bassist.
