He is going to miss the X Factor final. I hope it's worth it. Garry

Seen them a couple of times - worth every penny. Well i think so. There is always a great vibe at Ronnie's, a good place to see & hear TOP. Garry

[quote name='Mike' timestamp='1320657782' post='1429363'] but he is a strong guy, I bet he'll come back just fine! [/quote] He is strong - he took on Steely Dan, and beat them................................ with his thumb !! Garry

If any folks use the PRV [Piano Roll View] for writing in, and editing Midi. This guy has got some great tips & Technique's for doing this. Applies to any DAW. Plenty of Videos in all styles. The Orchestral stuff is very, very good. Enjoy [url="http://www.youtube.com/TheodorKrueger#p/u/10/3vXcjlxK4DQ"]http://www.youtube.c.../10/3vXcjlxK4DQ[/url] Garry

Just read some sad news on Facebook, Chuck Rainey has suffered a major stroke and is currently in ICU. Certainly one of the greats of the Bass world. Get well Chuck........ Garry

Good stuff Craig, great use of dynamics in a couple of the sections. Garry

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1320493818' post='1427500'] whenever I listen to her all I hear is bla bla bla Shame.. [/quote] What the Police number ? Bla Bla Bla...... A Bla bla Bla.... Garry

I have been on the same gig as her a few times, and she is great fun and loves her Music, But.... 00:45...Priceless. She does put on a great show, and the Billy Bunters love her. Garry

[quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1319394314' post='1413619'] For a bit of fun I thought I would try looping, I know I'm going to rubbish at it but once I have an idea in my head I'll not be happy until I've tried it, so to keep cost down I was thinking of getting a cheap secondhand MIDI controller from Ebay and look for some free or very cheap software based looper, anyone using this type of setup? [/quote] Is this not something you can do in any DAW ? Set the loop points, then loop away until the clocks go forward. Garry

Plenty of great Eastern European Musicians about who are highly skilled. Its not all Circus Music & folk night around the camp fire using Gypsy scales [ although that's great as well] Some very Funky Polish dudes from the 70's when everyone thought it was just Americans doing the 'thang'.

[size=4]Janek Gwizdale is a player i have really grown to like over the last year or so.[/size] [size=4]I wasn't sure at first, but the more i hear him the more i like his playing.[/size] Great solo above by the way, and thanks for posting. Garry

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1319566904' post='1415934'] However I couldn't help thinking that he could have replaced it all with something like a Moog Voyager or a Nord Lead and got the same results faster and more accurately. [/quote] Lack of Keyboard chops might have been the culprit. [Which is not a crime of course] Garry

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1319549040' post='1415569'] Bought this yesterday.... will give it an outing this weekend - [url="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/animoog/id471638724?ls=1&mt=8"]http://itunes.apple....38724?ls=1&mt=8[/url] [/quote] Now that looks interesting. Lets us know how it goes. Garry

Another Synth user here - Novation A station and a two Octave Keyboard. I have used it on a couple of pit shows. Function bands as well. Its just another sound at the party. You are not trying to sound like a Bass Gtr. And as said above, Keyboard players only have two hands, and they are usually tied up with playing other lines. Different feel as well. Its not devalue, its double value. Garry

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1319485481' post='1414835'] He must had have something abiout him as he was on just about everything for 5 years or so. [/quote] I think it was a bit more than that. Still going strong, The sound track of his credits is playing on his website, snippets just going on and on. Some fantastic stuff, and tracks i did not realise he played on, Pretty serious.

[quote name='funkygreega' timestamp='1319450151' post='1414088'] I wish every budding drummer would stop and pay attention to John Robinson. The world would be a much better place. [/quote] Quincy Jones and John Robinson, both a bit 'Off the Wall' got 'So Excited' they partied 'All Night Long' - and the rest was history, as they say. Top Drummer.... Garry

Good stuff - Best thing on Basschat for ages.................... A like coming your way. Garry

Good stuff man. 'I feel free' has a nice 70's Nashville vibe about it. Garry

[quote name='mildmanofrock' timestamp='1318870845' post='1407216'] Cheers Garry - your track sounds incredible - excellent stuff. Are these authentic instruments or samples? I can't tell the difference. [/quote] Sample patches, Loaded into Kontakt from the East West Library. Your track sounds great, really up front & punchy. Garry

[quote name='mildmanofrock' timestamp='1318866778' post='1407116'] Hi fella - I took it off as I realised my song sounded really out of place with the other great tracks here - and was more me playing everything within a song format than showcasing any particular bass skills. [/quote] Everything goes dude.....do you own thing, makes for more interest. Your track can't be more out of place than my Orchestral attempt.... Garry

[quote name='McBass' timestamp='1318771156' post='1405974'] Hi Garry, Yeah he co wrote most of the hits off Avril's debut album. No man...good keyboard players are like unicorn poop up here lol. Do you have any links for him? Cheers Rod [/quote] Rod He is on tour with 'We will rock you' at the moment. I think in Bristol at the moment. I know Irvin well, although i have not seem him for a while, I did 'JC Superstar' with him a few years back - great fellow. Catch him on Facebook. If you can't get in touch with him, i will dig out his number and PM. [url="https://www.facebook.com/irvin.duguid"]https://www.facebook.com/irvin.duguid[/url] Garry

[quote name='McBass' timestamp='1318766479' post='1405890'] I know him very well, he now lives in LA. He has a production team called The Matrix, who have written and produced for Avril Lavigne and Korn...amongst others. [/quote] A couple of Musicians i know relocated to LA, and mentioned he was there or had been there. I did not realise he was involved in that though. Great stuff and good to hear. I see you are in Aberdeen - do you know a Keyboard player called Irvin Duguid ? Garry
