My first Jazz recording

wow..sounds great..professional




can you make me sound like that :)

i like jazz...but lately i have been liking it more and more...i wish i could play like that
 
That's a little too "adult contemporary" for my taste ( I dig more traditional jazz) but the recording sounds really smooth and clean.

Good job, chess!:)
 
Not really my style of music, but man the recording sounds absolutely great! It reminds me of '70's adult contemporary. I appreciate the musicianship, and the writing. Total pro recording. Great job!!
 
Thanks so much for the kind words, guys.

The style of music really isn't my bag, either, I must admit (kind of makes me think of riding an elevator or waiting in a dentist office). But I have to try and make it sound it's best regardless. Plus, getting the opportunity to work with skilled musicians can only make me look better, I suppose. Hey, it's gotta' work both ways. :D And it's less work (practically mixes itself).
 
Hey guy, remember me? We talked a lot when I was getting advice on my bottom feeder system. Anyway, great job. I love this kind of music.

Great sound and great job all the way around

You were the guy who was stuck in "preamp hell," weren't you? :D Those were some of my favorite posts; Bon Jovi and the Behringer compressors . . . the dmp3.

Speaking of which, that dmp3 was all over this particular track like flies on you-know-what. Had a keyboard d.i. through channel A, and a guitar DI in channel B (straight from the guy's digitech whatever). :D

So what did you eventually settle on, anyway?
 
hmm....

All i really want to say is that I'm really sorry that your first time recording some jazz is on some elevator music.:eek: (sorry :o i love jazz, but don't care for %90 of the vocal jazz i hear.) I don't want to go into the music or the group too much. Hard for me to critique this. To me though it sounds thin, sort of 2 dimentional. I definitly don't get the feeling that these people are playing in the same room- mostly that direct guitar puts me off in a bad way.

try a mix with the vocal a few db louder, possibly a reverb smattered over the mix, and get your fingers/mouse on those faders maybe- try to breathe some extra dynamic into the music.

Well, that's probably because it was pretty much all recorded direct. :D It is what it is. Think Love Boat (and/or any other bad 70's them music). Think Dentist office waiting rooms when you were a kid. LOL.

I got the DMP3 and also a FMR RNC. You guys were a big help!

Remember my description of the RNC? It came in a damn manila envelope. (Hee Hee)

Hey I don't want to step on your thread at all but I'd love for you to listen to my tune, "Midnight Lady".

(I know, this is probably poor bulletin board etiquette, sorry)

Again , I dig that tune. I think the mood is perfectly captured for the song.

What the hell?

I got my feedback . . . :D

Very cool stuff! I'd like to hear your mp3 encoded at a higher resolution; you have it at 56 kb/second. Despite that fact, it sounds great. Santana meets CSN&Y! I really dig the guitar playing, percussion, and the harmonies.
