If I still had the growler vocal abilities I had back in my twenties, (I'm knockin' on 50's door), I would have totally laid some down for this track. But now, I just sound like I'm trying to clear my throat. It just don't do like it used to.

Thanks for the re-listen and second comment. I appreciate it.

Take care.

Thanks Jynxz for checking it out, and the feedback.

Thanks Jynxz - I worked with a new EQ on this one I think it made is smoother
Hope you are well - look forward to hearing your new one

Jynx I'm glad you noticed the setup for the busting loose. I can't stand when a guitar player sets up a song for the bust loose and plays a 8 bar solo. What the heck is that. I cant tell my musical story in 8 bars, because you're correct, I have a lot to say. My goal every time out is to satisfy the listeners ears for what I claim to be expressing, "SMOOTH JAZZ", so if I can't deliver then it's not worth the listen to me. Thank you for recognizing my goal on this one. PEACE. T576 OUT.

hey Jynxz,
i do love it when it works,
and to be fair Rob, this one worked better than i expected. a lot of thought went in to it bars wise, got the EQ on the vox ok, think i got the flow and pace right, spent ages on the mastering getting the spacing, short pauses, bars back in.
as you know rap is repetitive and catchy, but 6 mins is alot of gas, the bars had to be fresh and changing to keep people interested, its had a good response so im assuming i done ok, even my lad likes it and he asked for the mp3, i might of made it on to his playlist ha,ha now that's progress mate, thanks for the stop off and fav mate, its appreciated.

Music is the balm of our souls!

Hi, Jynxz. Pretty much the same method in Logic Pro. I think I actually did about 4 bars of the bass and then duplicated it. Didn't attempt the side chain to the kick because I eliminated the bass notes when they coincided with the kicks. But, I know that, probably the preferable solution, is to use the side chain method so that some of the bass note is present in the track on each beat. I also didn't attempt to tune the pitch of the kicks to the key of the track. That's also something I know I should be doing, but frankly have never done. Laziness. Just pure laziness. :)

Hi my friend, coming from you it's a great compliment, I always try to have a certain musical and sound quality (even if it's not always successful, lol!), I think that the first notes and the sound must be "catchy" to go to the end of the track! Thanks again for listening my friend

Tumeke Mr Jynxz and peace to you too! Love your comment. I really wanted to sing on this but could find neither time nor inspiration. But I reckon Pseudoble came up with the goods to help me out, as he often does. Och aye.

I write music for me to enjoy. If others do than that's a bonus to me. If I put something together that isn't working for me than I know others probably won't dig it either.

I like writers that write simple straightforward songs like Eddie Spaghetti of the SuperSuckers or John Prine and Johnny Cash. Telling good stories comes across as honest music if you can get the listener to buy into the story you are selling as the singer.

Thanks Mr. Jynxz!

Thanks for the warm feedback mate

You forgot to hit that Fav button again but I know you you mean to so Im happy you appreciate was I was trying to put together here.

Hope you post some more soon too long between drinks : )

Thank you JYNXZ, for the overwhelming comment and listen. I'm an Old School player that know if you can grab the ear with in 30 seconds of a track, you will more than likely get a complete listen. I try to tell a musical story when I'm Riffing. Feel is everything in Smooth Jazz. Thank you again for the time and listen. PEACE. T576 OUT.

OMG Robbie! You know that English is not my mother tongue, but I assume that "killing me" is to be understood in a figurative sense. I hope strong. Otherwise I would take the track down immediately...
Nice to hear from you and big thanks for the support.
Peace from Neanderthal,

Hello Robbie.
I hope you are going to be back.
Thanks for the listen, and fave mate.
I'm glad you like it.
Maj

Thank you so much buddy!!

You have been missed, my friend.
Yes, a lot happens it is not just Maj2 and music without borders too.
Thanks for that Robbie.
Glad you like it.
Thanks for the fave too
Maj

That's super sweet of you to say so, but if I'm playing the Chicago Westside, I'm making sure I'm playing well before JynxZappa, because once you take the stage, that's a hard act to follow ;)

When I make House tracks, I always have this dark sinister bassline, but when you start adding a melody and some pad chords you can really bring it back upbeat if you concentrate on the 7th and 9th chords. It's that contrast I always love in my songs.
