that's how i feel, i think this track portrays that...

"maybe tomorrow" [hint: the track at the bottom of the
list]

:)

damn funky bass line
sweet ass use of horns. i usually am not much of a fan of
the sax but the tenor sax sounds quite nice here.
i like this song though i think the sampled drums detract a
bit from the song. course i know how difficult it is to
find a live drummer. other than that it sounds quite solid.
good work

realistic way.

one thing i think 'works' is to add a tiny bit of flanger or
vibrato to them drums. or a smidge of wah. just enough
that its barely noticable. makes each hit sound a wee bit
different from the next.

Heh...well, I live in KS, America (it is so fucking exciting
here....uh, not really) but my Aunt Uncle and Cousins live
there around West Malling I believe and I'm going to visit
them for about a week this summer, and visit other relatives
for 2 other weeks.

I must eat your brain to obtain your fearsome musical
powers.

Or maybe I'll just spend more time practicing. :o)

That sax phrase with the sudden high note just kills me. You
know, the part with the thing.

When you say you "recorded in" the bass, you mean you
recorded yourself playing bass, or you triggered it from a
midi keyboard? It's a very nice sound for a bass sample if
that's what it is.

MASTERPLAN of how i did it:

bass -> jack lead -> computer

commonly known as direct input! i really need to get a pre
amp tho.

I'm glad you liked it :) i got a few tips about sax playing
off of paul (marlowe). We recently made a track together,
but we need to make some final adjustments before letting u
lot hear it! and he cant do anything at the moment, no
computer available for him.

is there anything that marlowe DOESNT know how to do? i
mean, its unbelieveable the amount of talent and knowledge
he has - it pisses me off sometimes >:P

haha, thanks guys - my brains are available to munch

nice track, jack - tho you should have dynamicised the snare
drums more - especially on slow fills/rolls ! !

I really dig the sound of that bass - it's all like woody
and midrangy, and I can hear the notes perfectly. I hate
when bass players scoop out the mids and you can only feel
the notes in your toes and your teeth. if you get that
preamp try to keep it sounding natural.

great melodies and bass...drums are a bit weak, tho. (.mid?)
i'm not a big fan of saxophones either, but here they were
actually quite pleasant.
