Thanks for listening Larry. Steve

Thanks Tom - I was happy I got to use my banjo plugin on this one!

Thanks Wookiee!

Thanks Wookiee - glad that it is finally done! Steve

Thank you for listening and commenting Larry!

Absolutely Mark. Can you imagine the things he could do today? His expression is priceless. Thanks for watching.

Here's my version of a great old Duke Ellington Song that was redone by Steely Dan on their Pretzel Logic album. Accompanying this audio is a video of select Buster Keaton clips. Buster was a comic genius way way way ahead of his time. Both Audio and Video available here: https://baselines.com/?p=6373 Video on Youtube available here:

Thanks Jack! Happy holidays! Steve

Thanks Kevin. At the bottom of my home page , there is a player with some of the songs from our Private Lightning album released back in the 80's on A&M. If you get a chance and are interested, check those out. https://baselines.com Steve

Absolutely!! And no more carrying that Ampeg up two flights of stairs and back down at 3AM LOL!!

That's fine, Kevin. My length comment was more oriented towards a single. People (younger) tend to get bored REALLY quickly these days and will switch away after less than a minute. For an album cut, it's different. Good luck on the final product, I'll be listening for it. Steve

I like it - you asked for suggestions so I have some. You may hate it, but they're my comments anyway ? I think it would benefit from being shorter. Get the vocal in there quicker. Maybe excite the snare a little. Pull up the under 50hz a little and the over 10K a little. Maximize a little higher, perhaps -7.8db Widen the mids. I did some edits which you can toss if you don't agree, but here's my idea. https://www.baselines.com/brand_new_day.wav Steve

I don't want to make light of childbirth, because I know what's involved. However, getting this album out took almost as much energy! Thank you for all the support I got on this forum, I really appreciate all of you who listen to my stuff and offer me feedback. You are the best. https://stevekeith1.bandcamp.com/album/the-instrumentalist Best wishes to all for a happy and enjoyable Christmas season (or whatever else you may celebrate). Steve

Thanks David. I used Session Horns Pro with a touch of delay. Steve

Thanks Antler!

Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback!

Wow! Smooth clear productions and excellent performance. I love this type of feel and the intricate mix of tracks. I could see the players playing, which is always my test for good production. Only thing I would say is maybe a TINY touch of more reverb or image widening, but that's just my taste and may not be what others like.,

NIce job Wookiee. That low synth sound is reminiscent of ELP's early work on Moog and those keyboard runs up and down are nice.

Nice job on this. The vocals are surreal.

Very peaceful. A good piano sound. What do you use?

Thanks Jesse, appreciate the feedback. I wrote this when I was in Germany and always associated it with a European type feel, but you are correct, it is California as well. Steve

Cakewalk used to include Amp Sim for guitar. I don’t know whether the current version still includes it or not.

Here's another from the upcoming album, The Instrumentalist. https://baselines.com/?p=6355 (For those who don't like videos, just the audio is available here)

This is great. I played in a rock band with a violinist who is now very well known in certain classical circles. This reminds me of her, but I think the technique is even better here.
