ras52 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1436343750' post='2817195'] All good now. Like it, I'm listening whilst enjoying my first very lovely coffee of the day. Enjoying the smoothness of both the coffee and your tune. [/quote] [quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1436353697' post='2817333'] Cheers! Not often one of my choonz gets called smooth!

Dad3353 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1436345808' post='2817227'] I can't get started. I have nothing yet although something came to mind whilst I was walking the dogs this morning but I need to see where it goes. I hate the fact that I cannot get my tunes PLAYED. It is not the writing that I find difficult, it is the recording of parts that I cannot play myself. YOu know what I mean? 'Oh, a monster Cuban piano part would be great in here - oh, I can't play that so I will put on some s*** guitar instead'. [/quote] There are very few parts in my own stuff that I have actually played myself. If that was a criteria, I would be far less prolific, and garner even fewer votes than of late..! I have many sources for getting played something in a style, or on an instrument, for which I have no ability. BIAB has great possibilities; I often feed it a set of chords and rip a solo part that it has come up with. There are several loop sources for more modern sounds, and some very powerful software solutions, such as EZ_Keys, although that route can become expensive quite quickly. A more extreme suggestion still would be collaboration with a third party, a fellow BCer, maybe..? It's been done before. Hope this helps (although if it's winning you're after, I'm not convinced that 'a monster Cuban piano part' is the best bet, anyway..! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1436355176' post='2817362'] T Hope this helps [/quote] I'm afraid it doesn't, as now I might have to spend money! I had no idea things like this existed - I'd been laboriously building midi parts or splicing loops in new and strange ways when I could have had Herbie Hancock to play it at the push of a button!

I'm going to wait until all the entries are in, then have a proper listening marathon - but from what I've heard so far, the standard is very high - again! Should be a very interesting month. Mind you, what is 'scantily-clad-woman-falling-into-city' music..? But that's what I like about this month's picture - plenty of room for manoeuvre, style-wise. Too often I don't enter because the picture choice doesn't really do a lot for me. Or more likely, because I'm too bone-headed to appreciate it...

Dad3353 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I've just finished repairing our Ebow, and thought I'd test it (and use it for the first time, it must be admitted...). Here's the result; 2 bass tracks, 2 bass Ebow tracks and 2 guitar Ebow tracks...
