It's low in the mix because of the various synths overlaid. But it's there. There is an old TalkBass thread about Donna Summer and the various Bassists that recorded for her and Les pops up (again). RIP Donna Summer - The bassists thread... | TalkBass.com Also, another studio player of that time who recorded with Donna Summer, Dave King, chimes in and talks about his Bassline on "Love To Love You Baby..."

There's a video of Will Lee singing 'MacArthur Park' up on YouTube. He's got some vocal chops as well..!

Yes, he was a regular in a lot of the TV Orchestras back then. A terrific player and very likeable chap. Back in the 90's, there was a particular TV turn I worked for and PW depped for me a couple of times. Les Hurdle was another top UK session Bassist; Donna Summer - "I Feel Love" and "On the Radio are a couple of his Bass lines from a varied session CV from back then. I believe he was also Tomsk (The Wombles...). He now lives up some hillside near LA as a media composer. A few months back he turned up at the VI Control forum, where I asked if he had been a Womble in his past life. He owned up () and then mentioned a couple of his session exploits.

Cor blimey, guv...Yeah..! How was he overlooked. Well, he's not now. 👍

Oddly enough, I was thinking about some of the UK session players from the 60's & 70's yesterday. Dave Richmond was another Bassist who was very much used on TV/Film/Jingles and albums on a regular basis. Quite a character as well....

Billy Jean - Louis Johnson (and Greg Phillinganes).

Haha, I had the same problem, so I left him out in favour of Neil Stubenhaus. Everyone knows about Nathan's work but, Neil's work goes under the radar a bit for some reason (Probably because he was mainly a true, studio session hermit at his peak). So I thought I would give him a mention. Neil Stubenhaus - Wikipedia

I could easily add another five to my list. But, I won't be greedy.

Purely because of the amount of different situations they could all drop into with absolute ease. TV, Film, Albums, Commercials etc: Of course, all from the golden days of 1st call studio musicians. Neil Stubenhaus Anthony Jackson Abe Laboriel Chuck Rainey Will Lee

Glad you got it sorted...👍

I now seem to remember having an issue with Dorico 4 a few months back when Steinberg started the whole migrating process over to the Download Assistant. I was advised to log out of the the Download Assistant and close it down. Then open the App and log in again. That fixed my issue, so maybe try that?

I presume you are using the new desktop App? If not, here is the link: Steinberg Download Assistant | Steinberg

If you are talking about the (newish) 'Steinberg Download Assistant', it's all working fine for me (I'm on PC). Although, there was an update for it on Friday which took an age to update.

Try the Steinberg/Cubase official forum. You shouldn't really be getting glitches, not on modern day PC's with a decent Audio interface, anyway. You might have to be more specific, but there is always good help about on their board: Latest Cubase topics - Steinberg Forums

Did you download them with version 12 when you upgraded? Or maybe Cubase didn't migrate them over from version 11. Check you 'Steinberg Download Assistant'. It will tell you:

I'm using Nuendo 12 (it's Cubase really with added post production & game stuff). I've not had any problems at all and on my system, it runs very smoothly When you say "Lost all my Loops and Instruments..." 1) Do you mean from the right side browser as in my first screenshot? 2) Or, from the main Media Bay (Hotkey F5 on a PC), second screenshot? 3) "Glitches" sounds like it's possibly your 'Multi Processing, ASIO-Guard, Power Schemes and Buffer sizes/settings etc...', third Screenshot. A few more details might be helpful...Mac, Windows, what Audio unit etc...? Are you running the current update (you can check in your 'Steinberg Download Assistant'?

All Cubase 12 versions now have 40% off through September. Existing owners of earlier versions also have the chance of good update/upgrades to version 12. It seems they have thrown a few freebies in as well. Steinberg are now mostly dongle free apart from a few older VST's. These are still being migrated over to the new system. The new system means you can now use more than one machine at a time. Cubase Sale: Save 40% ➔ Get Free Plug-ins | Steinberg

If any one is interested in some Bass Clef reading practise. Rob Egerton has quite a few Jazz Trombone solos transcribed in his scrolling videos. Rob Egerton Jazz Transcriptions

I remember the original, although, I'm not sure it was a big seller or had a lot of radio play. A good arrangement though: .

I have a few, but this one is getting a lot of listens at moment. I stopped listening to it for a while but, a recent thread kick started it again. "Dave Grusin Presents West Side Story". It has top playing, top singing and terrific arranging. From the album:

I've just seen this Wiki page breakdown of the tune. If you read through, someone has gone into some very fine detail about the track. It looks like there were a couple of VSTi's for the Bass. Don't Start Now - Wikipedia
