Title: Jazz for Chuck Post by: MarioD on November 01, 2015, 11:39:04 PM Another quick and dirty song by JonD and myself.
JonD is playing the EP via his keyboard controllers. I am playing the wind controller (tenor sax) and the fretless bass. Band-in-a-Box is playing the drums. We hope that you like it. Title: Re: Jazz for Chuck Post by: bvdp on November 02, 2015, 01:31:27 AM Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
I've been trying to get some audio files into posting shape all afternoon. Did a live gig last weekend and recorded on my Zoom. I've decided that the whole affair was a total failure from a saxophone perspective. I made too many mistakes; my piano player made mistakes; the recording in hollow; the mix between the piano (miced) and the sax (not miced) is awful); etc. I'm not posting the files anywhere. I'm going to work on doing some recordings in my office/studio ... much more satisfying :) Sorry, for the above rant ... just getting some steam off. Again, I like your track. Title: Re: Jazz for Chuck Post by: elwoodblues91 on November 02, 2015, 03:42:05 PM The drums,bass & sax are interesting...but unfortunately,the piano track ruined it for me,as there's entirely too much sustain....so much so,that the notes are overlapping too much,making the melodies very bitter.
Title: Re: Jazz for Chuck Post by: folderol on November 02, 2015, 08:36:53 PM I enjoyed this, although I can see Thom's point about too much sustain on the piano. Not a disaster for me, but would have been better with much less.
Title: Re: Jazz for Chuck Post by: MarioD on November 03, 2015, 12:27:18 AM Thanx all for listening and the constructive comments.
JonD is in charge of the keyboard stuff so I will pass these suggestions onto him. Note that a few others have expressed the same. Title: Re: Jazz for Chuck Post by: bvdp on November 03, 2015, 01:59:04 AM Funny thing about the piano ... I thought it was just fine.
