garybrun Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Brilliant mix and track. Drums are really pumping. Talented man!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 That was quite a production! Sounds like you did a massive amount of work on the sax alone. I absolutely loved the drums (what did you use for these) Sounded like a live drummer from someone like Al Dimeola or Jean-Luc Ponty . Very impressed. mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Symmetry Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) @Bajan Blue @garybrun @mark skinner Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback & for listening. @mark (SD3 for drums, sax was played by a human so can't take credit for that!)

mark skinner Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I thought the sax was too good to be true... I really couldn't understand how someone could achieve that using midi. I was just hoping it was possible. I have a sax but it tickles too much to learn it .. Great job mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noynekker Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 So great ! Wow, I appreciate how your sax is your voice through this piece, musically interesting with the chord changes. Though, from beginning to end, the snare on 2+4 does not change at all . . . sure, there are fills in the drums, but always that same snare on 2+4 . . . there is an alternate section of interest, but still the same snare volume and exact tone. The recording is all top notch and balanced, but I can't get away from that drum machine thing as I listen. Sorry, don't mean to be a downer, because I SO appreciate what you've done here . . . maybe I just want more drum drama . . . don't mind me, I liked it a lot, but the drums seem important to me this piece somehow . . .

Thanks, I'll check that snare out. It's basically doing what I want which is driving 2 & 4 home. Maybe it's too hot in the mix or I'll tweak the performance to change it up. At some point I'd like to replace the canned drums altogether with a live player. I'll give it another go over.

Lynn Wilson Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I'm glad that you put two versions up because it was pure joy to hear them both. I love the title, as it does have an Indian flavor that I learned to love from the Beatles. Five stars with two thumbs up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Kirby Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I really liked the drum track on this one - they sounded really good - what did you use here? This is a bit different from the music I've heard from you recently - this one is a bit more of an instrumental rock song - perhaps progressive rock. There was a lot going on in the mix, but you made it work - well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
