Hi,
 
I've got a new song made with SONAR X3e

http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13017022

It's got all the usual suspects:
SONAR X3
Superior Drums (but this time with a "Metal Machinery" kit - even though this has nothing to do with Metal)
Trilian Bass
VB3 Hammond
some Kontakt stuff
and a real "analog" Stratocaster guitar
(and a little bit of my new Telecaster)

If you have a few minutes, Please let me know what you think...
Thanks

Very nice song. I do not listen to jazz but this was well done.

I think I had a slow internet connection, sounded a little phasey in the upper range.  Of what quality was the mp3 you uploaded? It might have been my internet.
 
I am a big Joe Walsh fan, how about you? Your writing style seems to have a similar vibe, which I think is a total compliment. I liked the song, it had a fearless type of arrangement, I liked the second half even more than the first, but this is waaaay more rock than jazz in my opinion. 
 
Keep up the cool vibe!
 
 

Thanks a lot for listening - kakku and emeraldsoul.
 
I never know what "category" to put these things in. I was going to call it "rock" or "pop rock" - but nowadays "jazz" and "jazz fusion" has a lot of sounds like this - as opposed to what I would call "jazz" ;-)
I wish we didn't have to pick any category at all.... ;-)
 
I like Joe Walsh. I'm old enough to remember having a "James Gang" album ;-) I can't say I consciously tried to write or sound like him - but all these things are stored somewhere in the back of your brain and they resurface when they feel like it.
 
The MP3 should be fine - I had a lot of hits yesterday, and nobody has mentioned anything about the quality. Also, I checked it when I created it - and when I uploaded.

I wouldn't call this jazz, but I would call it well performed and produced. I like the change that starts around the 1:31 mark...some interesting stuff going on there...then it gets all Jeff Beck sounding! Awesome job.

Thanks a lot for the listen, and for the comments Clint!
 
Somebody else mentioned Jeff Beck - that wasn't conscious, I just started going overboard with the whammy bar ;-)
I just didn't want to sound too "normal" ;-)

It sounds quite well here, nice solid sounding mix, I would be tempted to bring some of the ear candy bits up a tad in the middle 8 section, but that is just my furry opinion.
 
Thanks for sharing.

Hey, thanks for listening - and for your furry advice Wookiee!
 
Well, the ear candy levels are always subjective anyway ;-)

Love the tones in this tune....really caught my attention from the start....I enjoyed all the different textures you use. I could see me playing this in my regular iPod rotation when I ride my bike.
 
I think this is one of the better tunes I've hear of late....weird enough to keep my intrested all the way through but has a great groove which glued it all together...
 
A++ from my bro...

Thank you very much for that thepogue.
If you pop me an email (can you do that by clicking on my avatar?) or a PM, I'll be happy to send you a mp3 for your ipod ;-)
(I disabled the downloads on soundclick so I can try to flog CDs when I'm ready for the next CD. Of course I never actually "sell" CDs) ;-)
