Re the Scott Devine video: Once again, I suppose we all hear things differently. From my ears point of view, most of the solos Scott showcased and dissected where brimming with very tidy, musical, lyrical phrasing. Scott has a great pair of ears and I like his enthusiasm for the detailed breakdown and nuances of the players. Two of my favourites as a bonus as well: Dane Anderson and Jeff Andrews.

You may not like the piece and plenty don't but, for me, there is plenty of melody there, along with good chord changes and inversions, and in the middle, a nice descending chromatic Bass line. It clearly showed that Jaco knew his stuff when it came to harmony and theory etc - Just my opinion of course and I suppose, we all hear things differently. For instance, I've just listened to a live, John Entwistle solo, and found it painful. Others probably love it. Out of interest, was the Bass player a Musician called Dave U.....?

Yeah, so do I. Plus a Güiro mixed low. There is also a busy metallic sound going on, probably a tight, closed hi-hat. To my ears, it's just some auxiliary percussion underneath the Bass Rhythms. It's like some kind of 7/4(?) hybrid Flamenco thing (probably in keeping with the Spanish flavouring of the piece).

Absolutely... He's actually a very good Pianist as well, plus he's done a good bit of time in the trenches with bands, tours and sessions, so defiantly not a novice regarding the shenanigans of a working musician. I believe he has over one million subscribers to his YouTube channel, so clearly has a very good target audience. I noticed he has other things on the go judging by his links below. Good luck to him.

I think he plays great. Musically, he quite easily keeps my attention throughout his videos. Plus, he keeps them at a sensible length.

The late, great, Mike Lang on Piano. He played on over 2,000 film scores, so you've probably heard him play at some point over the years.

An excellent 'free' synth called 'Asper'. No email sign up or any other nonsense, just download the .dll files (x32, x64 and x64 VST3) and place them in you VST folder(s). You can just delete the .dll file(s) if it doesn't appeal to you. The rundown and download link: Asper by zOne.sk - Synthesiser Plugin VST VST3 (kvraudio.com)

Seeing as Fender now own 'Presonus', maybe they will ditch their Guitars and Basses in favour of Virtual Guitar VST's inside of Studio One...

5th August 1992. R.I.P Jeff Porcaro, one of the best.

If anyone can make room for a 'Foghorn' in this months challenge... Spitfire Audio have released one for their free 'LABS' library: LABS Foghorn

We use Nuendo and there is always a pop up window asking for sample rate conversions into project settings when importing (if needed). Same for video frame rates...Surely Pro Tools has the same, or something similar? I thought most DAW's would have the different options for importing/exporting? You don't really want sample rate miss match going on. In this day and age, it's a bit naughty of 'Zencastr' not mentioning that there had been an update to the App. Especially if you use monthly subscriptions.

Same here. I never tire of listening to either, especially Lyle Mays.

Sorry... I meant Audio devices for PC, as in Windows machines (as opposed to Macs). Macs use Core Audio.

I believe Asio4ALL don't like sharing Apps. This below may help. Some folks seem to have similar problems. Playback of Reaper and other applications simultaneously External Audio devices (PC's, using ASIO drivers) are always worth investigating, especially for the price you can get them at these days. In the end, they save you a lot of grief. Sorry, I know it's not what you want to hear at the moment.

Regardless of what you use for an Audio output (onboard or external), it should show up in 'Output Range' (In Dads screenshot above). For some reason, your onboard audio output device is not showing. I might be going too deep here but, first port of call should be to see if you onboard audio device is enabled. Go to device manager - 'Sound, Game and Video controllers' - right click to enable/disable.

I know nothing about Reaper....But, what are you using for an Audio out (output range)? Is it an onboard soundcard?

@wishface Try my link above.

Double post removed.

You will need an interface for ASIO drivers. Although, I think Asio4ALL (drivers) might do the job in your case. Try this link: ASIO4ALL - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download

A very nice freebie library from 'Fluffy Audio', although, you will need the full version of Kontakt: Khim | FluffyAudio There are six other nice freebies at the bottom of this link as well: FluffyAudio Free Libraries

Yes, top playing. The Bassist is Jim Hughart, he was a busy LA studio player. He was one of Carol Kaye's students..! The whole album is excellent and crammed with LA's finest studio players from back then. Top, tight arranging from Patrick Williams as well with great harmonizing. I believe the track above won a Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrangement of the year. (Tom Scott on Jazz flute).
