Finish Line

A 16 bar demo of my Fretless (sortof) Fender Bass, AllParts  ebony neck, Nordstrand pickups with Fender 9050M Flatwound strings. No EQ, no compression or processing, just the raw Bass track straight off the UAD Apollo interface along with a little drums.

After recording Saxophonist Charles McNeal last Thursday, I finally got around to mixing his parts, which were recorded well at 11th St and played well too.

I'm willing to share the Outro solo on one song that is in a kinda spooky, swirly feel. I was thinking I would put Delay (Echo) on the sax and that worked out nice. No edits needed on the sax part, its just as Charles played it. Having lots of spaces around the phrases and being on the beat helped this production. This track has only UAD Fairchild 660 compression and Waves SuperTap Delay which allows me to say where in L-R mix the primary and echoes sit.

Charles McNeal Tenor Sax Solo with Echo

A very original song from my next album "A Long Way To Go" can now be heard as we finished recording Drums ( BJ Da Funky Drummer) and Tenor Sax (Charles McNeal).  "Somebody Said" is an Instrumental, the only Instrumental on this album. BJ & Charles did stellar work on this. I played all the other instruments. Check out Charles' hard blowing starting at 1:53.

Somebody Said

I am happy to share this snippet from the next album. Jon Jacquemoud plays the Guitar Solo on " Try Then". 30 seconds of superb melodic expression that infers the main melody and adds its own melodies, adding value to the song as a whole.
