[quote name='BILL POSTERS' timestamp='1433761968' post='2793655'] Wonder if the Duke of York has a memory of his ten best [/quote] Winner, Bill. Claim your prize.

Well, I suppose if you come across a joiner who has hung over ten thousand doors, it might be of interest over at joinerschat.co.uk, regarding the best ten doors that he has 'ever hung'.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1433700827' post='2793220'] No redeeming feature? String arrangement (Morse code motif at the turnaround, and the sweeping lines at the end are both glorious. [/quote] Agreed. The arranging is top notch. Lush string themes, subtle low horn lines. It's all there. I think it's a great tune.

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1433611230' post='2792538'] Have you tried any of their other freebies? [url="http://vstbuzz.com/freebies/"]http://vstbuzz.com/freebies/[/url] [/quote] Feroyn's Flute is great for Fantasy time passages. Not tried the others, but I will down load them, these things always come in handy at some point. Cheers for the link.

Some more freebies here. Solo Viola Lite. It's ok and very usable. http://northernscoring.com/viola.html And a lite version of the Friedlander Solo Violin (part of a free bundle with some great sounds). It's also worth checking out the other freebies on the Embertone site (they do some very expressive Instruments, the full paid versions are excellent value). http://embertone.com/instruments/arcane.php

Well, with mod wheel use for dynamics, and the key switching (upper keyboard), it is a very responsive patch when played in. Very playable indeed. The character is great, some noises in there as well (sounds like the bow hitting the body).

Do a batch re-save, and it will then find it every time. Same with any vendor patch that does not load up in the libraries tab. Also, if you save as a pre- set it will do a quick load without asking for a location. Or of course, just save as a quick load patch (after the initial folder find, it will always locate it). To batch re-save. On the top bar in Kontakt, click on - Files - scroll to the bottom and click on batch re-save, Point to where the folder is placed. That's it. It's the same for any patch that Kontakt asks for location.

If you would like a really lovely expressive Solo Cello (a very smooth legato patch included). Grab it here, and best of all.... It's FREE... A couple of demo tracks up on the site as well. http://vstbuzz.com/freebies/pocketblakus-cello/

Cubase stopped supporting DXi way back, on the advice of Dick Turpin. The only way, would be to use a DXi wrapper. (It was a known Roland Edirol problem back in the day) For using Edirol as a VST, IIRC, there is a fix/work around involving resetting c## information at the beginning of the midi track, or another way, saving Edirol as a performance, not an Instrument. Some stuff here that might help sort the problem. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Edirol%20%20Orchestra%20resetting%20instruments%20to%20default.&newwindow=1&gws_rd=ssl

[quote name='Kirky' timestamp='1433358692' post='2790477'] 14/15. The social media icons covered the last chord in the cadence - didn't notice it! [/quote] Use your ears*.

Yep, IIRC D## (E). (I can't seem to get the correct double sharp symbol on my iPad). To be honest, I had to scratch my head with the Cadence (Thinking the same as you).

Little bit of fun here. Theory and sight reading. [url="http://www.classicfm.com/discover/music-quizzes/how-well-can-you-read-music/#PFptTL0HFs4TDr0H.97"]http://www.classicfm...TL0HFs4TDr0H.97[/url] I got 15/15 [attachment=193508:Music.JPG]

[quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1433264100' post='2789562'] I've done something which may appal everyone... Myself included! Now do I dare upload it, and perhaps do a slightly more accessible one as well? [/quote] Well Lenny, if you do upload them, make sure the bomb squad diffuses at least one first. Basschat doesn't like more than one disaster in a day. Looks bad in the newspapers and upsets members at their breakfast....old boy. Looking forward to what you have come up with - always something different.

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1433138243' post='2788085'] Lots of things put me off but I want to hear some other people's opinions. [/quote] ALL the things, should put you off.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1433068186' post='2787424'] Equally amazing is how there aren't hundreds of balls lying on the floor afterwards.. [/quote] Yep*.....lol.... Also, twice during the Vibes solo when the sound is a C#, quite clearly the ball is landing on a C natural.

Suggest and Introduce new songs into the gig, with NO Guitar solos.

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1432934956' post='2786483'] Someone has just sung a selection of songs from Les Mis. Great voice, but at a wedding?! [/quote] And of course, also known as 'The Glums' ...lol...

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1332439195' post='1588456'] Session player, Russ Stableford. [/quote] Been looking at a lot of Internet stuff regarding Russ. His son and grandson have been posting on various sites. They even mention that he had three Fender basses. A trusty Jazz, a Precision and some kind of fretless Fender. Apparently he was always messing around with various strings and foam mutes to get his sound. I followed a link and ended up reading about the Bassist on a lot of Bert Kaempfert recordings called "Ladi Geisler", who also had a very similar distinctive sound. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladi_Geisler http://vimeo.com/33252744

Saddled up, trotted into town and voted. Well done all, some interesting takes on the picture. Now I will get the feck out of Dodge City before I get my head blown off in the crossfire from the composers I didn't vote for.

I would take my Upright and play Jazz solos all day and night. That should be able to keep any wild animals at a distance.

What is going on here? Earlier there was a post about about being emotionally moved and in floods of tears....lol.... As it happens I love Wojciech Kilar's compositions and scores. The OP video was a Cue from "Dracula", and a top piece it was. The whole score is marvellous. The "Exodus" is also a lovely work He certainly wrote some Killer scores and is worth checking out on YouTube.

Ah...I get it and nice try. The Compressor, is in fact, not for your voice. I might get one and position it over the door for when my lady comes in. On the other hand, a brickwall limiter might be a better bet in my (our/her) house.

Back then, he really was the guy and played on loads of biggies. http://youtu.be/ierY2nOVX64 http://youtu.be/zY0--b6DLqQ

Yep, very sad. Terrific player. RIP.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1432224509' post='2779422'] But, if he's playing on an Em, then he's playing the #5th (C) to the minor 3rd (G). [/quote] If he is playing a #5th (C Bass) over Em, it would make the chord Cmaj7. Ok, next, over to someone else...lol...
