Tim Smith Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Not sure why I like jazz over the holidays, but I do. It seems to fit. I started this playing the piano track first, then I added bass, last I added the sax. Happy New Year all....a little early. I wish everyone a blessed 2022. -Tim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I like the cadence/rhythm emphasis in this, and the sax was a nice add indeed! I do think there is a next level for this, maybe one idea is to get them all in the same room reverbically? Bass is super dry, piano a bit of room, and sax is very far away. Maybe less sax reverb? The ending was well done. You might also give the bass some, perhaps a solo section, a short one, where the piano drops out? cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry T. Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 really nice work on that Tim....nice chords (whatever you played you played very, very well ?) i agree with Tom's suggestions, i think they would serve the song well....i did not hear any timing errors, all sounded right on the money....really enjoy that piece....may i ask was the sax live or VST (if VST which one....i've been looking for a good one and yours sounds really good)....best wishes for the New Year and always ????

I brought the sax forward and put everyone more in the same space. Made a huge difference.

A second confirmation is always good. Thanks for comments and for chiming in. On the sax- I used session horns pro 2 a part of Komplete 12. There is another one out there called sensual sax and I almost used it here but it was a bit much for this in terms of reverb wash and efx. I have used that one in the past with great success if I'm working a pop mix that warrants a sax. Here's the LINK @Wookiee Many thanks Mr. Wookie for the listen and comments. @Douglas Kirby Thanks for listening and comments along the lines of the mix. The piano was all improv. And i guess a really good piano player like our resident maestro ( not me)could do this in his sleep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Sprouse Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 HAPPY NEW YEAR TIM. I think of jazz over the holiday's because of my father (and NYC during the holidays and NYC is jazz) it's just the right thing to do for some reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Nice one Tim! Evidently I'm hearing the re-mix, the sax is sitting nicely in the mix here. t had hoped the link to sensual sax was a work you had used it in... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Tim, I'm always impressed by improvisational playing and you did a great job here. The piece fit the holiday just right. -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
