Another cool and busy groove, great playing on all the instruments. Like mentioned before, a change up of some kind or solo section (with a key change?) would break it up nicely. Or call it done , that's cool too.

Thanks Larry, the drums are not live they are Jamstix4. It's kind of a different drum program in that it uses AI to do a performance once you program the parts. I move some of the kicks around to align with the bass when needed, I spent quite a bit of time getting the drums how I like them on this. The congas were from EZdrummer2, Jamstix has percussion too but I don't like it and would not recommend that add on. After your 8 gigabit comment I had to go look at my specs, that was the old computers ram I now have 32. I used have some latency problems, not anymore.

Yes the guitar track is just what's coming from BiasFx stereo output, nothing special there. This guitar has gibson classic 57's which make it easy to get nice distortion sounds. Batsbrew gets some great sound from his Strymon Iridium, I have been tempted to get one but they aren't cheap (I am). I recommend getting a fretless, it's so fun to play. Not being a bass player I didn't think I could do it but with fret lines it's easy (I wouldn't try it without the fret lines). This is a 70 dollar Glarry that I pulled the frets out of, love it.

Have you tried any of the plugins out there? BiasFx2 is pretty nice and it has lots of choices of Fx pedals. Most plugins let you trial them. I've found that the selection of amps and Fx is not as important as the sound, they don't all get great distortion sounds.

Thanks for the listen and comments Andy and noynekker!

Thanks a lot! I'm using BiasFx2, pretty easy to get good sounds with it. I use Amplitube for the bass.

You guys sure do some ambitious music! Very impressive. Was this stuff you never released?

Omg, that sounds like a new Oingo Boingo song. Cool, I liked those guys. Great hook there.

That's a catchy groove.

Very nice. The guitar sounds really good.

He can headline, I have stage fright! You're funny.

Thanks David and Bapu! The guitar is my Gibson es135.

Bought 3 saxes in the last month, wanted to add to my recording, I'm having a blast with them. This is my latest jazz fusion tune.

Good song. sounds pretty good too. The only thing I would do is turn up the bass a bit.

Yes nice funky smooth groove there.

I like the song, it's very cool. I would love to hear some drums come crashing in later in the song and kind of rock it out.

The mix sounds good to me. Interesting song, different sounds than the usual. So you are playing live drums on this?

Sounds good.

Recording and band sound good. I'm not a fan of the snare sound but that's just me.

Good catchy song. There are timing issues. There's lot's of videos on cakewalk editing, most are too technical for me but you can pick up some knowledge.

Another cool track, I like the groove and of course your playing is great. I think the recording and mix sound good. My only suggestion would be a break where it slows to half speed or a different groove to break it up.

Are you able to stretch or shrink things? I always have smart selected.

These guys are good. I think the kick is a little to much. Overall it sounds kind of like the meters are just in the red where you get some distortion. Are you using a lot of compression and trying to get max volume? Seems a bit squished.

Interesting mix of synths sounds and orchestral sounds.

Great job.
