Not content to leave well enough alone....

[Guernica]

Hey Steve,
I like your interpretation of this........ the latin feel is nice. The sax is , as always, amazing.

The only suggestion I would offer is a roll-off on the bass. ......Im guessing around 6k and up should do it. I would roll it all off too..... Its a good bass part, just too much jangle and noise.

Great stuff man!!

"The sax tone is pretty damn convincing. I didn't know midi could do that kind of thing. I also agree with the drunken dobro's comment about after 2:50, things get a little less coltrane and a little more Kenny G-ish. well, maybe not that bad but a little too much flair for my taste."

Damn, I wish you would actually *read* what I write. LOL

Don't drag me into your mistakes. I'm too busy trying to get myself out of mistakes I've dragged my own self into. LOL

I read it....kinda.. "Sax nirvana" is what I read. It's all in how you read it, Dobs. We have this great aspect of communication called sarcasm. I assumed you were familiar with this technique and were deftly applying it here. Perhaps I was wrong.

I still think the sax kicks ass. Apparently, midi CAN'T do that. BTW, I'll stand by the flair comment.

Why am I so freakin' late on this? I think I thought this was another thread, and I got confused b/c this didn't have the word "Grinch" in the title (*hint* - my 5 year old is still waiting... *tap* *tap* *tap*).

I wouldn't insult you with mix comments, b/c you're just very very good at (apparently) everything. Man, I'm really waiting for you to step in it at some point...you know; just totally flub one. Please? Do that just to prove you're mortal? For me?

I think I like you're playing best when you're doing little fills at low volume...it just sounds effortless. I guess it is, at this point, eh? Anyway...you add a touch of class to this place, and this is no exception.

Yeah... what Chris said about "thinkin' this was ANOTHER thread..."

Maybe since that fabulous JMarcomb/Sluice collab has seared the words "leave well enough alone" indelibly on my corpus callosum... just thought this thread was something I'd heard already

(....Naw, that was LAME )

Now, you know it's killer when I get my ass out of the chair and start the samba, like some sexy, short dress wearing slut with those fancy heels on (course, it came out looking more like the funky chicken )

Man, I hope we don't take Steve's horn-talent for granted. He gets great articulation and feel out of that little casio horn patch

BTW isn't the only difference between "Greensleeves" and "What Child is This", music wise, the 5th note in the melody is a natural (Greensleeves) or a flat (WCIT)? Only Steve or Al might know that...

Great stuff, and it's a really interesting contrast to what's been done so far on the whole "XMAS" clinic thing. Therefore, it will stand out (in a GREAT way, actually).

What?

I was confused as to WHY THIS THREAD SLIPPED TO PAGE 2????




Just a bump... was looking for a creative way to do it... failed

 

[Lt. Bob]

That's pretty damned funny!!!

 

[crawdad]

Speaking of bumps, I have been shamelessly searching the forum for the place to deposit my 1000th post! Looking...looking...looking...OH YES! This is it! I mean, ChrisHarris hasn't posted a new tune today, and I already replied to my own thread about three too many times.

I mean, who to bump rather than the one guy who has made my rambling sonic experiments sound like SONGS, fo pete's sake?

So, this posts for you, Steve--er, Lt. Bob! I know my life is going to change the minute I hit that 'submit reply' button!

1k Silver, here I come!
