Bajan Blue

I have been giving BFD a good testing this morning - everything worked flawlessly and the sound really is excellent. So i think i will start to use this again that update, for me, seems to have fixed what was wrong Nigel

Hi John great to hear you have settled in and are taking full advantage of the superb patisseries? I'm in Cape Town at the moment, but will soon be off back to Barbados - we have had a very cold winter here in Cape Town so I am looking forward to some warmth!!!! Keep well Nigel

Hi John Thanks so much for this - shall sort this out when I am back in the studio, hopefully at the weekend. I also really agree with you about updating Komplete - should have just done Kontakt - well we learn by our mistakes as they say!! How's France treating you - still good I hope Keep well Nigel

Hi Bjorn Thanks for the great comments, always appreciated. with the videos I have access to about 3 Libraires - so I can normally find something that fits! With regard to the videos, I do or certainly in the past, done most of them - I have been training / mentoring some youngsters here in Cape Town, so they have progressed very well and have done some of the videos themselves. We have such a Youth unemployment (and very poor Government schooling) here in South Africa (70% Youth unemployed) my wife and I set up a Scholarship Academy (a proper job plus cutting edge training) - our first intake of 10 youngsters was earlier this year and because this has worked out so well, the second intake is on the 1st July - we are really proud of this and how successful it has been. https://scholarship.sfafrica.co.za/ Not sure if you have seen any of these video shorts - most of these have been done by the "Scholars"!! https://www.youtube.com/@DevineLie/shorts Thanks Nigel

I upgraded my Komplete to 14 - which of course included Kontakt 7 - no matter what I try I cannot get Kontakt 7 to open Standalone - I am on latest version Windows 10 and latest i9 Computer. this is not really a problem as my V6 is fine. V7 opens in Cakewalk OK, but as others have said, it is very slow. i admit to not having had the time to play with it yet, but on first look i cannot see how one views "non NI" Libraries - i have a large collection of independent libraries. also it seems more like a preset browser than the old Kontakt - i think i will be sticking with V6 for the time being. I really only upgraded to Komplete 14 for the Kontakt 7 upgrade so this is all a bit of a let down - I cannot say I am taken too much with any of the Play Libraries included in the upgrade and I had most of the Plugin Alliance stuff already - I did get Crispy Tuner though - just got to work out what that's for!!!! any help appreciated Thanks Nigel

Hi Thanks for this - I really appreciate the comments Cheers Nigel

Hi Keith, i definitely prefer this version. What did you use on the Piano (AI wise)? Sounds really good now, although you may need to revisit the lyrics after Elton's performance at Glastonbury? Nigel

Really interesting - these are some of the best AI voices I have heard They really are getting better and better What program did you use for the video? Cool stuff Nigel

Can only agree with the comments, especially from Larry Great listen, really enjoyed this Cool Nigel

Good lyrics and the song is cool Mix excellent I enjoyed this Cool stuff Nigel

Hi - good track - agree with Larry especially re the break Good Stuff Nigel

Hi treesha I really like this - I agree with what David has said re the low end etc Apart from that, cool track Nigel

A Really good track - personally not keen on the transition with the acoustic guitar at the start (14secs) - sounds a bit forced, but your track so your choice Apart from that arrangement great Cool Nigel

Hi Larry - never heard of that, will have to check it out - thanks for the very kind comments Cheers Nigel

Hi Paul - went to listen but it says content not available?? Nigel

Hi Rik Sounds good - clearly checking the oil and tyre pressures made all the difference? cool Nigel

Hi Wookie Thanks so much for the very kind comments - always appreciated Cheers Nigel

This week I loaded up the latest update - wasn't really straight forward and took a while, but now, for the first time in a very long time, it seems to work properly! Will be giving it a bit of a work out over the next few weeks - it would be great if it really does work properly now Nigel

Hi Makke Thanks for this - much appreciated Nigel

Hi KS Thanks so much for that, really appreciated. Cheers Nigel

Hi freddy Really like this one - classic old style blues - well played, what's not to like Cool Nigel

Agree with Jack - not really my sort of stuff, but very well done Nigel

Hi Kevin Totally agree with Steve - a definite Peter Gabriel / Sting vibe and a great track Really enjoyed this Nigel

Hi Bjorn - 2001 is my most favorite film EVER - Kubrick was a superb director - he made some brilliant films, The Shining, Dr Strangelove, Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, Barry Lyndon etc etc But 2001 I can and do watch over and over. it really shows up many modern films with all their flash and CGI - but still cannot compare to his skill and craft, especially when you think the film is from 1968. Your music would fit right in - it sounds exactly spacey enough to me!! Superb Stuff Nigel

Hi Larry This is great - a really good composition, very nicely played and a good mix Excellent Nigel
