I heard a band in a bar do a tune with a groove like this, so I decided to give it a try, and also make it sound like its being played in a bar! Silly huh? :facepalm:



It has no title as yet, any ideas welcome! Also general opinions welcome..
 
Sounds good. Some nice little licks in there. Are the sax's real or virtual. They sound great.

Not crazy about the drums.

No ideas for a title.
 
Well I don't like putting anything synthetic in my recordings usually, except the drums which I have no choice.. But the saxophone is a sampled one. All along I was thinking "nah, I should take it out, sounds ridiculous.." Glad you think it sounds ok! Actually this tune has sampled standup bass too.. But the tambourine/shaker/hand claps are all real!
 
Gave it another listen and I still think they sound good. The saxophones, that is.

What are you using for drums? You might consider something like EZDrummer. They work out of the box, but to get them sounding really good takes time and patience.
 
Actually EZ drummer is what I've been using for a number of years, with the Nashville Drums pack, but lately I've been using Addictive Drums as I think they're more realistic and punchy. This tune however, I used Groove Agent as I just upgraded to Cubase Artist 7, and Groove Agent comes with it and I wanted to try it..
 
Oh, so that's the groove agent drums. I never installed them and now I'm glad I didn't waste the disk space. lol.

I like the Nashville set.
