Agreed...For example, Adam Sandler used more vibrato on the Werewolf "Ah-hooo" line.

Quite insane really for a fiver...I feel quite guilty taking up the deal. iZotope Trash 2 and UJAM Carbon, both free with any purchase. Check out the deal with the link below: https://www.pluginboutique.com/articles/1652?a_aid=4de37c52da03a

I grabbed this today. Firstly, I downloaded the demo and gave it a whirl and found the presets to be very subtle. They are a good starting point and some of them are good to use as they are. A winner for me. I also tried the demo for their Ducking Delay & Reverb Processor. Another good one that has some useful Sound Design presets straight out of the box. Thanks for the heads up. 👍

I thought this might be useful...Ian Sheppard has a Mixing & Mastering Podcast show with some pretty useful information. (It's pretty varied as well). https://themasteringshow.com

Excellent...Very dynamic with good themes going on as well. 👍

Waves MaxxVolume is free at the moment. https://www.waves.com/account/maxxvolume-free

Weighted/semi-weighted, synth action etc...? Full size keys, mini keys (Yamaha YC), how many octaves? Midi In/out or USB? Mod wheels, pads, cc# sliders? Sustain and volume pedal options? Budget? Like the poster above said, your choice ultimately, but it's worth thinking about the options (or some of them) I mentioned as well and not just (onboard) sounds (if any). There are plenty of great sound libraries out there that you can add as required. The Native Instruments keyboards are worth a look as well as the mentioned M-Audio Keystation.

I'm a Nuendo (10.3) user and find the stock fx plug-ins great and I'm using them more and more, especially the mixer channel strip. The N10 fx's are pretty much the same plugs and VST instruments as Cubase 10.5 . Although, the extras in Nuendo are geared more towards game/sound design and post production. The last few months I've spent time learning the stock Steinberg fx and really enjoy using them now. Also, I recently put together a new DAW computer and found there was no need to re-install most of the huge amount of unused plug-ins I have collected (free & purchased). Same with my sample libraries, There are quite a few extras in Cubase 10.5 that are worthy of the extra £20. Pad Shop 2 being one of them. It's definitely worth the upgrade price. 10.5 https://new.steinberg.net/cubase/new-features/ The few, non-native VST's I use are: VST fx. EastWest Spaces 2 (convolution reverb) PhoenixVerb iZotope Ozone and Neutron VST Instruments. Spectrasonics Omnisphere (synth/sound design) Kontakt 6 (sampler/rompler for my Sound Libraries) VSL Ensemble Pro 7 (for VST hosting outside of the DAW) VSL Syncron Player (and libraries) Spitfire Audio player (and Libraries)

Your fourth chord was lost and out of use for a while...then found...and then used again ? So, it was just suspended for a while, yes?

My oldest boy is in the process of transcribing some 'Heart' Tunes for a project. He said to me "Blimey. dad - She's a terrific Rock singer..!!". I can't argue with him, yes she is...

Sad news. I live a few roads away from him and he could often be seen walking about locally just down by the sea front. According to others, although he was a person of few words, he seemed to be happy and enjoying a quite life. Also, I believe some of his family and children live in the area as well, so he wasn't living a secluded life. R.I.P

I think he started having a few bun fights with a couple of other Basschat members (3/4 years ago), or maybe it was a couple of bun fights with a few Basschat members? Either way, it didn't end well and he vanished. It's a shame he didn't know what a Coda was as he still might be here.

Lisa Gerrard...Another one of my favourites.

It will for those who know what a Coda is.

Chaka Khan. Will Lee & Steve Ferrone right in the pocket. Chaka Khan. Anthony Jackson & Steve Ferrone right in the pocket.

For me personally, one part of it is through years of experience. Playing and remembering hundreds and hundreds of tunes during that time (lots of similar chord structures/changes/form etc). But probably the biggest factor for me is: I have very good relevant pitch. I can hear/recognise chords and intervals easily/quickly. You will probably find that there are many on here who are the same,

These two tracks still get a regular airing around the Med Resorts.

I've been listening to Renaud Garcia-Fons for years. I love his playing and musicianship. It's all there - Feel, time, phrasing, intonation, technique and great ideas. Like the OP said, "truly great talent". Prabhu Edouard ain't bad either.

The last few years he has changed about a little, but Marcus' Jazz Bass is Iconic.

A Big Band Swing tune, with a nice walking Bass line, complete with a Crooner singing in the style of ol' Blur Eyes comes to mind.

Are you Nathan East?

My oldest boy wants a set up for his bedroom. I showed him your post, he then searched for reviews and will now be ordering. He had a budget of £300 and was going to come to me for more money. It seems you have saved me some dosh!! £277, with those very favourable reviews, made it a no Brainer for him. Thanks for the heads up. 👍
