Ah, okay. Not the same Peter Stroud then. 👍

Sorry to gate crash this thread. @mybass, are you the same Pete(r) Stroud who played Bass in the Sprinkler band with Gary Deans? I'm just curious.

I believe it's for an American address only. However, there is a way around it, and it works, my youngest boy tried it earlier and received the code. If you head on over to VI Control and look at post one: FREE Native Instruments Komplete 15 Select @sweetwater - for limited time | VI-CONTROL If you have not been to that forum before, they regularly update many of the free VSTi's and VST's that are released: It was started in 2012, so it might be worth jumping ahead a page or two... All VI Freebie contributions Here! | VI-CONTROL EDIT: My son just told me that he just received a £22.00 NI voucher as well from the above freebie (valid until 5th December). Although it seems it's limited as to what you can use it against. There is a NI sale on at present, so it is worth giving it a try if you see something that you fancy. "This e-voucher is valid on all Native Instruments software downloads of products with a respective minimum price of $49 available at the NI Online Shop. It is not valid on updates, upgrades, crossgrades, edu licenses, hardware, NKS partner products, or products that are part of a special offer".

One of my boys has this on his Tablet and it's very good. I think he paid a tenner for it, although he doesn't use it much now because he got Cubase and also Cubasis for when he is up and about. Also, he can exchange projects between Cubasis and Cubase. If you want Midi recording, both Cubasis and Audio Evolution are capable of this. I'm not sure the Fender App does Midi recording, but then again it is free and the other two are not. Maybe they plan to introduce it in a future update.

If you want any more UAD plugins... 10 for $99.00. 😬 https://vi-control.net/community/threads/99-uad-summer-mixtape-bundle-ends-jun-30.163788/#post-5732600

The 'Back To Oakland' album - Tower of Power with Rocco right in the pocket:

I was working on a show in Berlin at the time and was originally a member on BassWorld when I received my call up papers for Basschat on 19th May 2007.

Welcome back Bilbo!!

Derek Watkins - The James Bond Trumpet Legend!! He was truly one of a kind, a super musician from the golden age of British session musicians.

A really good, versatile sounding Guitar App. Picked, strummed and chord Arps. Check out the demos! Neo Guitar Series | Parallax Guitar

Oddly enough, from that period, 'Happy Jack' popped up on my YouTube feed today. JE sounded very tight, controlled and very much like the session players of the time - Really attacking the note. I presume he was playing a Precision Bass.

I downloaded this a couple of days ago, and yes, it's excellent, as is 'Supermassive'. I'm working on a Sound Design & Transitions project for someone at the moment and I have found a use for 'SpaceBlender' already. Defiantly worth downloading, as is the Valhalla reverb/delay FX. 👍

Has this actually been confirmed, or is it what Carol said? ** About time really.

My oldest boy has a pair and he let me use them for the day, I was quite impressed. I'm actually contemplating getting myself a pair. The online reviews are always pretty good when it comes to the sound quality of the *'Phones*. My boy also has the RØDE NTH-Mic attachment that plugs into one of the two sockets on the phones. That is very good quality as well. He uses that for just about everything he does online. I think he paid just under £50 for the mic.

When that album came out, I couldn't stop playing it. Friends & Strangers was also the first Bass solo I ever transcribed. I had gone over it so many times; it eventually fell naturally under my fingers. It's a lovely, melodic solo from a young Marcus. Very lyrical.

A classic from Frank and top, top playing from the band. And that arrangement from Johnny Mandel is quite something.

Robben Ford and the HR Big Band live a few weeks ago:

There is a lovely moment in a Grover Washington Jr. live video, where AJ and Steve Gadd stare each out over a misplaced 16th note accent. Steve Gadd thought AJ was the culprit. He clearly didn't... 🤣

I'm pretty sure the studio version was played by Freddie Washington. Lee Sklar did a tour or two with Phil Collins.

My thoughts as well.

I didn't know Nick other than posts on this board, but I stumbled across this terrible news on Facebook. It was very sad to read. R.I.P.
