Everything Bilbo said. Top stuff. Garry

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1350328090' post='1837435'] Check out "The Man With The Horn " and "We Want Miles" albums by Miles Davis for Marcus Miller at his very best. All the more amazing when you think how young Marcus was when he made these records. [/quote] There are some UK TV clips knocking around from that period, and they are great. Garry

The Dave Grusin album 'Mountain Dance' is great. Nice Fretless from Marcus, and a lovely melodic solo in the middle. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W57v0t29_gw[/media] Title track [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiWY8naGyNI[/media] Garry

[quote name='RoRi' timestamp='1350323758' post='1837333'] Recommended; Lenny White "Streamline" (1978). [/quote] Not 'arf!

[quote name='urb' timestamp='1350145885' post='1835174'] slightly unfair [/quote] Just a bit of fun Mike [Nice playing on yours by the way] To be honest it's more about listening to peoples idea's and approaches for me This month and last months have thrown up some interesting stuff all round. I doubt if pitching for the right to choose a picture is high on any ones agenda... Garry

I like the LC Video [seen it before] Laurie is a great Musician all round. With this project, it is something he has wanted to do for a long time. I suppose it took time to get together, he is also a very good arranger with some great idea's. Sure, we have all heard that tune a skip load of times, but I enjoyed the Video for what it is - some very, very good Musicians on their game. Garry

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1350127709' post='1834846'] That's bloody great mate! Lovely quality recording too. Top work! [/quote] Thanks for that, it was fun to do - just got a New Cinematic/Orchestral library for Kontakt and thought i would give it a whirl. Garry

Had some time a couple of days ago, so thought i would give it a go. Gone down the edgy chaotic nonsense route. [url="http://soundcloud.com/garrycribb/heros-zeros"]http://soundcloud.com/garrycribb/heros-zeros[/url] Garry

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1350082550' post='1834517'] I slightly remixed mine and added some voice. That's it. [url="http://soundcloud.com/silddx/shltshoeriotface-i-ii-iii"]http://soundcloud.co...otface-i-ii-iii[/url] See if you can spot the Blackadder reference [/quote] Great stuff - I like the Acid trip vibe in the last section. Fourteen year old Urban kids playing " Moshi Pit Monsters" Some good tracks and ideas popping up again folks. Garry

[quote name='chardbass' timestamp='1349953133' post='1832581'] Definite Patitucci-facial-tourettes [/quote] Great stuff, and they are clearly enjoying it. Garry

[quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1349811940' post='1830956'] Decades ago, singers had to nail the songs, and musicians too. [/quote] You still do - If you don't, you wont get asked back. [This is if you are booked/hired as a freelancer] Bands paying for their own demo's/albums/tracks is a different matter, feck up as much as you want and maybe the engineer or someone producing [if you are lucky] might try and fix things for you after, but if you have run out of booked time it will cost you. Or of course you could take the Wav files home and fix it yourself. Garry

[quote name='fumps' timestamp='1349699469' post='1829207'] I'm from 1976 I would not have a clue which manufacturer was doing good stuff in my year. [/quote] Hose pipe manufacturers. Garry

[quote name='pikeman' timestamp='1349687056' post='1828981'] How many of us use effects on our basses? Surely this is just the same. [/quote] Of course - the voice is an Instrument as well [In the right hands of course - Just like Bass playing] Garry

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1349686702' post='1828971'] I got the arse because I was going to put vocals on it but needed a mic lead because mine had died and I don't want to have to go out and buy one this month and my compressor was arsing about and I couldn't get the guitar sound I wanted for the lead (which was a total botch anyway) and the drum sounds were sh*t so I compressed them and added some gain so the drums sounded great but the cymbals were too heavy and, somehow, in the wrong place and ..... You get the idea [/quote] You might find this handy...I know i does for me. It won't help you write notes and make you a million $'s, But it sure helps complicate matters.

For anyone interested. Nice run down on various stuff - Comps, EQ's and a lot of other stuff. [url="http://www.meldaproduction.com/audiotutorials/"]http://www.meldaproduction.com/audiotutorials/[/url] Garry

Queen could have done with one in the middle section of BR [b]live[/b] at Wembley, then they could have done away with the Backing track ... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oozJH6jSr2U[/media] Garry

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1349633702' post='1828528'] hmmmmm.... something like thus is taking the p************** IMO. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r7wuiOFNOg&feature=fvwrel[/media] [/quote] Yep - Those carpet slippers get right up my f**k**g nose. Garry

[quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1349631929' post='1828495'] The technology is there to help. Why not use it? [/quote] I agree - The whole music business is about technology. Bands and Duo's having been using them for years - as in anything, some of the units are not so good, and a couple of them sound great. I think the OP is talking about Harmonising or doubling up, not pitch correcting Garry

I recently came back from the states, and i had a few dollars floating around in my pocket. So what do i spend it on? A '57 Precision ? [url="http://www.gbase.com/gear/fender-precision-bass-1957-see-through-blonde"]http://www.gbase.com/gear/fender-precision-bass-1957-see-through-blonde[/url] Or a '57 Chevy 2 door post ?

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1349610162' post='1828190'] Mind you The Beatles, Led Zep, Jaco, Jamerson etc ain't that current but it doesn't stop people talking about it! [/quote] True......... But then again you would have to dig most of them up for them to be on the '"live" scene. Garry

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1349609427' post='1828175'] I loved em. I really liked how they changed and progressed album to album, getting better each time. It's a pisser that they split. I realise it ain't current and they split up time ago, but it still souns fresh. [/quote] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]No not very current, but saying that, Roisin Murphy is still very active on the live club scene, and very well liked - Plenty up there on Youtube.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Garry[/font][/color]

I thought they were great, they kinda helped move House Music on a bit at that time. Roisin Murphy has quite a few solo tracks out there. Garry

[quote name='StageAhead' timestamp='1349509403' post='1827120'] It's in german but you can still benefit from the transcriptions i made.

[quote name='OzMike' timestamp='1349449681' post='1826523'] I don't really get the negative comments about fusion. [/quote] I understand negative comments, that's just down to opinions really. But to turn up to a thread to listen to music you hate ? and talk about dogging? Priceless. Garry

If you mean this - Yep it's great. [url="http://soundcloud.com/billyhollywoodlee/eleanor-rigby-billy-lee"]http://soundcloud.com/billyhollywoodlee/eleanor-rigby-billy-lee[/url] Garry
