Stop - keyboard jazz
Had two piano riffs from an old recording lying around. Added Wurlitzer and bass. Greetings! Mikael STOP

That was pretty cool. The piano was overpowering the other instruments a bit. Would like to hear them up in the mix. I think a sax section would fit right into this one.

Thanks a lot Chappel! Said and done! Lowered the piano and elevated the Wurlitzer. Unfortunately I have no access to a saxophone.

Constantly  I have updated this several times today since I wasn't satisfied with most of how the Wurlitzer was played. Hopefully it sounds better now?

K,
I love your music. This is another very clever and well done piece. I think the wurlitzer sounds great...as does everything else. Bass is outstanding. Is it a real bass? sounds very real to me.

This makes me sick. It's that good...just makes me sick.  Love the playing and it sounds like a good mix to me. I agree that the bass is amazing too. But someone can seriously tickle those ivories!

Veerrry cool. Sounds great- the playing is terrific, but I love the composition. It's sort of like jazz with just a kiss of a hip-hop feel.

Nice mix and playing too.

No How: I'm just waiting for someone to call my bluff. In this, from kickdrum to the brightest Wurlitzer ton, is midi all the way. I wouldn't dare to play any of this live. Glad you liked it any way. Thanks for listening and stopping by.
Janet: As said above - all is midi. Thinking about shifting to Natives Alicia Keyes piano from Ivory. Sounds amazingly natural. Thank you kindly for nice comments!
Notnat: Thanks maestro. Nice.
Freddy: So glad you liked the composition, the most important part for me. Thanks!
The Rebel: Drums are XLN's Addictive Drums. I should have put some more effort in varying them a bit more when programed. Perhaps if there will be vocals on this I'll do that. Thnx Rebel!

Midi all the way? Well, that makes me feel a little better. lol You're shifting AWAY from Ivory? I'm quite happy with Ivory myself, but I'd be interested in hearing Natives Alicia Keyes in an a/b comparison.

No How: Sorry for forgetting... The bass is Scarbee J Fingered (jam bass). Slightly affected by some bass modulator in Guitar Rig 3 LE (which came with Sonar 8, I beleive). It was originally sampled for Gigastudio (have mercy on its soul). I use some gigasounds via Samplelord which doesn't handle the sounds as accurately as GS did but GS was a computer disaster. Many times I ended up with BSoD after hours of work so I don't really miss it. Janet: This is how Alicia Keyes could sound like (courtesy of Larsson who made this beatiful recording): alicia keyes piano

This IS rich sounding. Wow! Little hard to a/b it with 'Stop', but I see what you mean. I think Ivory could do that though with some tweaks. But I guess I wouldn't bet the farm on it....

Some catchy riffs assembled into a nice little tune. Playing is excellent. I really enjoyed this one.

This is a really fun vamp to jam on (and listen to), but I kept wanting to hear a bridge with some harmonic movement.....go to the IV chord and take it from there!

Like it. Has a very spontaneous feel to it. Could do with being a bit longer IMHO.

I'm not really getting the harmonic intent of your bridge, starting around 1:36. You 'sell it' because of the groove, but I think I could tweak that part for you quite easily. If you want to send me the MIDI, even just for that section I'd be glad to play with it.
