Description : Redo again sax volume back up a little changedFX. Redo. Redid levels. Added FX to sax. Took a little out. Changed endng. Havent added bass line yet. First attempt at Jazz. All done with loops. Took about 3 hours. I'm really starting to like this software program. Still need to learn how to import loops to the software though. I'd say it's sax with an orchestra behind it. Trevillion would say it's Like a bunch of snakes in a spoon drawer.

Yep that blazing sax is hot. The string arrangement is fire. Nice one.

you ain't kiddin' sax tastic. I'm impressed, I know all your stuff is top notch but this in 3 hours with loops. I love to use sax loops but I find it hard to link them and chop em to make it sound fluent - you mastered it here. This is a great track...no amazing track - I love any kind of jazz tinkering, and the orchestral back is very cool. Kudo's Blair!!!!. peace.

Thanks. I actually took some of the sax out thinking I might add some vocals. But never did.

Blair had the violinello.
Slap had the sax.

Picked up this martini and this sly fox named Karina, she was from Germany, but I have already forgotten her face.

As we were leaving the club.. The sirens came from the front door, and the 5-O rushed in.

Guns Blazzing.

Hell raising in the 57 club.

I slept my last night. Lie-ing with a crazy Russian bird called Katrina...
and an empty martini.

Neither young ladies had any idea.

lol... sorry, i like to write while i listen.
Me likey.
Favoriting.

funny story. Glad you liked it. I played the cello not the violin. At least I learned Twinkle Twinkle little star on it back in 3rd grade. Thanks for listening.

wow. you said all of that is loops....then im working too hard. im trying to do stuff like that without using loops. how did you find a set of loops to go together so well? It's a pretty nice sound only thing is i got on headphones and i think the sax is too loud ...might be the phones tho..but nice job.

They are loops that came with sequel.Program makes timing match up and used loops all in the same key. Messed with the volume on the sax a lot. Learned high notes are louder. And to low sounds far away. Thanks for listening.

I like the way you've got the effects on the Sax to sound as if they're bein played in a large room. The amount of reverb bouncin back is great. I could almost see this being recorded live in a studio. Or the Green Room as they call the behind stage lounge area for performers at the WSRE station here. Funny thing there is I always thought that was what they called the part of the studio that they use to add CGI backdrops. Eh, shrugs.

And the strings sound as if they are being played on stage. Excellent work, my friend!

Hey blair!

That Jazzy sax won't get off my head. Great one... the only thinf is that I missed the bass line (Of course, I'm a bass player!). I like the way the orchestra mix up with the keyboard and the drums... Great!

Trouble with that sax. To low and it sounds far away. It's all loops. To hear something that's really me listen to "Out in the Storm" or "Rain"
Thanks for the review. I normally don't recomend any songs but sice your Gsusfrk I thought I'd mention those 2.

Hey mate...sweet tune!...love the strings...I sort of agree with Rei, it's hanging for a bass line..however I like it the way it is..sometimes when you leave out some instruments in a mix it gives it space and a different dynamic......cool and clear work!...cheers planet

I still may sit down and see if I can play a simple bass line to it. I'm just not that good on bass. Just started playing it.

Nice tune, it had me banging my head from the first beats. Chill track,a bit dramatic(violins...nice), the piano sounds great too. It's just the sax, it feels like it's being played at the other side of the room... maybee less FX on it. Apart from that, you got it right. Will you be uploading another version of it? If so, please let me know, I'm sure it will sound good, and I'd love to here the bassline.
Excellent work my friend.
Cheers S.

Yea, I'll keep playing with it. That was the 2nd version will do again. Just can't find the right Bass line yet. Just made changes to it.

well, the thing with the volume of the sax is mentioned several times ....
but there's one thing that's much more important: there's no bassline!!!!!!
music like that only works with a strong and groovy bottom ...

apart from that it's a track that makes me want to jump in and jam .... and this is the best thing I can say about a song ... lol

peace, rei

I was having trouble finding One. May try to lay one down myself. Going to tone down the sax too.

It's a rally cool track...but like Elaine and MrE said the sax is a bit too loud...would love to hear the strings brought a bit more forward...but really nice arrangement nonetheless...

Very cool track musically speaking. The sequencing is very good and sets a great mood. The sax is overwhelming in the mix. It needs a little space to breath, a little reverb and/or a very, very light chorus would do wonders to give it some real life. Just drop the volume in the mix a little bit and you will see an incredible difference. Also consider a fade out at the end, that will help make it less abrupt and chopped sounding. But these are all technical comments. From a pure musical point of view this is a great track! Good work. Peace, Six

Description : 'Taqdeer' in Urdu means 'Fate' or 'Destiny'. This is an Arabic /Hindi/Bollywood hip hop /club track. The drums are hip hop but the vibe is full sad emotional club vibe. It reminiscences of a man crying teardrops in a nightclub. That can be the best way to explain the vibe of this track. Hope you enjoy it!
