lowdown

'Spinal Tap, the directors cut'' . Never-before-seen footage ? I'm sure if you hunt hard enough, there are YouTube videos of Spanish Flamenco players from the 50's or, the early 60's, thumbing, double thumbing and string pulling.

Not guilty, M'lud. It must be another Lowdown.

I can't really hang around waiting for post# 75. So here you go...

Don't worry about it. I posted something completely in the wrong thread. I was aiming for the 'Enter Sandman' thread... while I had two Browsers open....and missed.

0r 25 or 6 to 4. I'm patiently waiting for post# 75...Then I can slide right in with a good 'un.

C is for Chicory Tip.

What's going on from 3:30 onwards..!!

Ah, okay. You are after a modulation FX plug in.

Yeah, I agree. Nice solo as well.

A mid 70's video of The HeadHunters (about 30 minutes long).

I liked how Macca went from co-writing 'She Loves You' in the 60's, with a Pot Smoker who thought he was Jesus, to co-writing a 70's smash hit Bond theme with a woman who made plastic Sausages. He certainly had a sense of humour. He didn't change the World for me. That's a bit over the top but, he has a place in pop history. I always thought he was original and a natural musician, who also had a good pair of ears when it came to melody.

This page link below has a full templates for major DAW's. You can load up the full Orchestra in one hit. It's such a light library, with a small RAM footprint, that it hardly touches the sides. So, your Puter shouldn't scream out in pain. A modest Laptop will run it with no problems. Discover Templates — THE PAGE (spitfireaudiothepage.com) Most of the templates have two versions: 1) One track per articulation (there are only two articulations - long and short). 2) One track with both the long and short articulations (for use with keyswitching - C-2 and C#-2).

'Both Sides, Now (2000)', Is really worth a listen. The terrific Vince Mendoza arranged and conducted the Orchestra. The musicians credit list is pretty formidable, but don't let that put you off as a chops album, it's not. Both Sides Now (Joni Mitchell album) - Wikipedia

My take as well and to be honest, I've always thought that over the years.... I can say that with confidence now I'm 64.

On 'In France They Kiss on Main Street', Pat's lick when he's tidying up his solo always gets me (4:41) ...Then straight after, his quote at around 5:32. A great way to warm up and start a gig... On the ballads and slower tunes, I particularly like Jaco's touch, feel and tone. Although, I lost interest in his solo spot when it slithered up his backside a bit. I thought the whole concert had great dynamics from Joni and the players, and for me, the musicians on show oozed bucket loads of skill, feel and technique.

I downloaded this yesterday. I must say, it's terrific..!! There are loads of very usable presets and it's an interesting Synth for carving out your own sounds. The arpeggiater has plenty of options as well. It's also pretty CPU efficient. Thanks for the link. 👍

Jive Bunny and their Snare Drum had the World Rocking in 1990 to 'Swing the Mood'.

In your first post, you say a 'Free Synth VST', so I'm guessing you are using a DAW for the Audio playback to your Video, or maybe considering it? If so, and your DAW doesn't have any Synth VSTi's, just Google for free VST Synth's etc...

Try Recording the Bass line in question as a midi Bass Synth part on one track, and then, record another track with just a dry Electric Bass part doubling the Synth. (You could even move the Synth part up an Octave). Then mix in the Synth track just under the Bass Guitar track. Buss them together if needed (including a Comp on the buss track to glue both parts together). There are plenty of YouTube tutorial videos demonstrating this technique. EDIT: Out of interest, are you going to be miming to playback for your video? If not, and you are playing live, ignore all that I said....
