i musta hit replay at least 3 or 4 times....this is nice sultry. i have to admit i came in hating it without listening just because it had a sax in it. but you didn’t do it wrong.i actually play alto too and thought the sax in this was just right..for real i think if yamaha or motifator grabbed songs from mo songs i think they’ld have a hit record |

Thanks bboy. i tried a few sax and trumpet voices with this, and the new sample pack addition “Max expression” or something like that suited it the most. i also tried the same melody with flute and cello but the sax was perfect. thanks for your comments. cheers |

I love the intro. Like the mix. I think the track functions well without any percussion. The kick seems a bit too hot in the mix. Thanks for sharing… |

Thanks J.W and Michael, glad you guys liked it. DF ... i was thinking of replacing the drum track with better drums sound and arpeggios., this is my own drum pattern. i know doesn’t suit the tempo of this song. LOL |

This is really good man. I like it a lot. Unfortunately, I never really like synth sax. It’s not you at all, the melody is great… I just can’t get into that synth sax sound. I’d love to hear this with a piano instead. I guess that is just my preferred instrument maybe. The mood is great though, and the guitar sounds really good. I’d love it if you posted a version without the melody so that I could play along at home. Not to try to do better than you or anything, just because I think it would be fun. |

Like some of the others I usually hate a sax but you really used it well playing with great tenderness such a lovely melody. It reminded me slightly of a classical piece which is basically a 15th century a capella choral work sung straight with a very evocative sax obligato over the top. With your obvious love and talent for the instrument I’m sure you would enjoy it. |

Really good stuff, my friend. I like the mellow sax. Not to heavy, not too light (like a soprano sax). That Max Expression sax is very cool. I guess it would be interesting to hear a piano melody but DON’T change a thing in that regard. I have yet to create my own drum pattern, but would you mind if I ask how you went about doing so? One more thing (and anybody can jump in here)- I’ve created a pattern which I put to a pattern chain. I’m thinking my next step would be to convert it into a Song. Is that correct? Or should I “polish it up” before doing so… you know, add effects, tweaking things, etc; or can I do that in Song edit? Guess I’m asking, “how do I make it radio-ready like the songs all you guys produce”? Thanks |

Thanks Rajaman, i have created the backing track for this song in pattern mode, hence the drum pattern, except for sax,guitar and electric piano which i added in song mode. you can do the final mix in song mode for your songs. i adjust EQ for individual voice. This gives me more depth in the mix. e.g i some times raise treble for drums and bass for bass part. sax sounds better if the mid range s slightly raised. I read n article about EQ mixing some where in which they told us which EQ would be best for each sound. i have noticed adding little reverb to each sound igves the warm effect to the voices. hope i helped. cheers |
