  1. Another good, free DAW. Sonar by Cakewalk. Comes with plenty of Instruments and FX as well. http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR
  2. Lee Sklar posted a link of Victor doing a visual over one of his Coltrane transcriptions. It goes without saying that Victor was a groove monster, but good lord, he had some serious chops!! "Here I'm playing Coltrane's solo from Countdown.This is what I'm trying to teach at Berklee.Not the chops,but knowledge of music and how ALL music works on the instrument".
  3. ??? Where did you download it from... IKEA?
  4. Yeah, great stuff from Victor. I like this YouTube post... "best bit is when someone decides to become the human trumpet at 5:25". And Of course, it's Victor singing along.
  5. Swap all the notepaper for Ukuleles... And it could also be a George Formby appreciation conference, in 1960's Blackpool.
  6. We just watched Beverly Hills Cop. During one scene, my wife (being an ex pro dancer) jumped up and started dancing to the below track (without breaking her leg or any furniture). My two boys just sat there with their mouths open, then burst out laughing, in unison, loudly. It did make me laugh out loud as well....Happy times. 👍
  7. Project Sam have released a free Orchestra. Also, it can be used with the free Kontakt 6 player (which is unusual for a free license library). https://projectsam.com/libraries/the-free-orchestra/ If you need the Kontakt 6 player, the download link is below. (it also comes with a decent set of free Instruments and FX). https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/bundles/komplete-start/ And while we are talking about quality, free, libraries. Why not download the Spitfire Audio Labs offering (including their own sample player). https://www.spitfireaudio.com/labs/ I'm not finished yet with the free, quailty libraries... Another outstanding contribution, this time from 'Orchestral Tools'. Again, with their own Sample player. https://www.orchestraltools.com/store/collections/45 👍
  8. Are you using a mono, or stereo lead out of the stereo headphone socket into the audio interface? Try just going from the pedal DI straight into the interface, then into Logic. If that works, the problem is likely to be from the amp headphone socket into the interface (possibly lead related).
  9. "Connectionopen". Fourteen days free trial. It's worth downloading and trying with other musos. As I said on another thread, I know two people using it and it works well for them. https://connectionopen.com/?fbclid=IwAR0oEpa0n66Su59d7lyS2qOI5-Xx7E0WlHprWfB2379xzem4Z1VahTbHWQ4 Steinbergs' VST Connect (Cubase/Neundo) is another option that works well. https://www.steinberg.net/en/products/vst/vst_connect/start.html
  10. Yes, great for transcription & very acceptable for engraving (with a lot of good features). Like you say, (amazingly) it's free. Unfortunately, it doesn't support VST, as far as I know. Although, there are clumsy work arounds for it. So for play back, it's a case of relying on GM sounds.
  11. Some interesting comments on that YouTube thread. Certainly caused a debate. The bottom comment is a good one. Vulf @John the Bassist i transcribed then played the line on a similar setup as jamerson (p-bass with labellas and mute). in the latest videos i just animate to the original track. Qualia Control software seems to be ignoring a lot of the grace notes Bob This is not Jamerson and is not a bass guitar, in case anyone would like 4 to know. eightGhosts Some of the timing and notes are wrong (e.g. first three notes should be C up to D up to F, the A at 2:48 should be Bb, the A at 1:20 should be an octave down, the fill at 1:48 is way wrong) but this is super cool and pretty accurate otherwise. Paul Natanghé Beautiful metronome sound....the best idea to ruin a bassline and Jamerson's especially. Are we at music school? Everyone's got a metronome.
  12. Yes, a great line. I may well be wrong, Rich, but that sounds like a programmed midi bass line and not Jamerson (although very well programmed).
  13. A composer I know uses it regulary with a Sax player. They seem to rate it and have a good working routine. The composer uses BT fibre and Ethernet connection (on PC) at his end. You can download and try free for 14 days. I'm planning on doing that with someone this week. I will update.
  14. ConnectionOpen works well. There is a charge, but divided up between the musicians involved, it's quite reasonable. A DAW will be involved, but any free or LE versions will work. https://connectionopen.com/?fbclid=IwAR0oEpa0n66Su59d7lyS2qOI5-Xx7E0WlHprWfB2379xzem4Z1VahTbHWQ4
  15. Yes, that was funny. Also, telling Wayne Shorter to bring "the book" on the next recording session... 😂 I enjoyed it, good stuff.
  16. Steinberg, Dorico 3 SE is free. It only has two Instrument tracks, but perfect for what you want. Notation and Tab. There is a Dorico tutorial channel on YouTube, so you will be up and running pretty quickly. https://new.steinberg.net/dorico/se/
  17. 1973 (I was 16). I watched a terrific, funky, soul band at the Black Prince in Bexley (Kent). They tore the place down and the next week they were support for Eric Clapton. It was the Average White Band.
  18. I did a transcription ages ago (notation), I will see if I still have it. Tab here, Not sure how accurate it is. But to be honest it's quite easy to transcribe/work out. http://www.ilovetabs.com/en/boz-scaggs-lowdown.html
  19. Freddie Washington with 'The Dukes of September'...
  20. There were three different Bass players on all those ABBA tracks. Although Rutger Gunnarsson played on the bulk of them, UK Bassist, Mike Watson, played on some of the big hits as well (Arnold Paseiro played on Voulez Vous) . A good read here about them all. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/philwbass.com/2014/01/02/the-bassists-of-abba/amp/?espv=1
  21. Gadd, speaks for himself, I know but, blimey, Anders Wihk and Svante Henryson also know what they are doing. The arrangements work great.
  22. Ah, okay...Not a member of the 'MoJo Lemon Blues Band' then? https://mojolemonblues.com/
