Hey, no problem. Not really that extensive a comment for me. I almost always write pretty long and detailed reviews of peopkle's stuff on here. It's an interesting challenge to try to express in words how you feel about a piece of music and see if you can find a way to suggest how they can improve on things. Sometimes I do and sometimes people tell me they have taken my specific advice. Thnaks for the brief gear list.

I'm also a Cubase user though Reason is what I love, have been running it alongside Cubase for 13 years.

No real improvement suggestions for you on this one because I didn't really have anything! Definitely some tasty jazz guitar (I also play all guitar in my many tracks). I also incorporate some jazz into the many merged genres that I do (they're almost all far out, groove-driven epic trips) but it's much more jazz drums than jazz guitar.

I'm more of a funk, blues, rock, slide, psychedelic eastern guitarist than a jazz one. But slow-mid tempo jazz grooves I love. Though I also like fast swing jazz and trainbeat grooves, which can also slot nicely into drum 'n' bass. Or metal!

Perhaps you might get on with my track An Early Morning Appointment With God as it has some definite jazz funk in it.

I shall try to remember to check more of your stuff so good to find you.

MACK MAN!!! What a nice surprise to find this one this morning!!! As usual, absolutely flawless. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, your guitar work is just about as good as it gets....move over George Benson, there's a new sheriff in town.

Outstanding effort, and happily downloaded (thank you for that).

I hope the holidays were happy and here is to 2014 being a great year for you and your loved ones. I hope you are well.

Yeah, this is fine...though I don't drive to work, I use my feet, it could be a moody listening if I can trust myself in traffic with headphones...:-)

Superb guitar and mix, Danke

No so much my kind of thing but it does sound good. I like the groove. Bit of a 2-step, r'n'b vibe.

Pity you didn't say anything about how this was made in the track description. Such as who's playing the guitar, which is some clean, smooth, funky and tasteful jazz/r'n'b guitar.

Someone could definitely enjoy rapping to this. Or doing some smooth crooning. Maybe some ass-shakin to that beat.

I like this the more I get into the track. Definitely very good mix of the instruments. Feels like I can hear everything very clearly.

I tend not to like a fade-out but this one was pretty good. Most people make that fade far too brief but this was much, much longer so quite effective at giving off the vibe that this track is just being played forever as some sort of fun jam session.

Not my style but very good!

Thankyou ST. for your extensive comments.I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment evan though this is not your genre of choice. I play all guitar tracks on my songs,using Cubase SX for all recording,mixing and mastering. For keys I use Hypersonic-2 or Cakewalk TTS-1 or Lounge Lizzard-4. Main Vst processing done with Nomad/Waves-V7/Spectralive-NXT/ OXFORD/ Ozone-5.I go light on compression and limiting,using them wrong can destroy a mix. Thanks again. Peace. THE MACK MAN OUT. Stop by soon.

Description : Do not freak out just because this is jazz! There's also blues, rock, funk and a little hip hop in it to break up the deep, chillout jazz sections - gets particularly rocking then funky at the end. Main bassline (the track's foundation) is recycled leftover slide resonator guitar parts detuned one octave to make a slide bass sound. Also features: piano, violin, hammered dulcimer, organ, ethereal pad guitar, bass guitar, jazz/blues/rock electric guitar and multiple programmed acoustic drumkits. This was difficult to make at times as I thought I needed more leads parts eg from sax or trumpet. But I'm happyish with the end result. I expect very little interest in this as it's both jazz and long jazz. But it's also an unusual type of genre-mixing jazz. So, leave your thoughts, good or bad, if you like...

Description : I think it's a late evening song to accompany you for a single drink.
Jazzy in most of the aspects. It is made single handedly so please consider it an experimentation for the thrill of making music.
Hope you will like it.

Description : This track contains only free loops from Stayonbeat.com and several loops from Looperman artists (listed below). I "made a promise" that my next track will be use a lot of jazzy loops - well, i done with this track, for the great sadness of jazz lovers or experts i think - i fear they will never forgive me. :) While my ISP launches my internet out of the Earth system for a long time, i had to face the fact that i dont have too much downloaded jazz loops on my computer, so i think no wonder that this one is sounds like if i smoke some marihuana while making it. But hey, who cares, i like the result - it reminds me the (maybe only) really funny episode of "Breaking Bad", where Pinkman uses some heroin and flyes up with an idiotic smile on his face - that chapter is priceless. :D
I dont think this one needs a vocal, but ofcourse you can use it if you want, and as always, just write and i will give any support as i can. Any feedback welcomed too as always. Enjoy! UPDATE 2015.10.24.: improved audio quality - lower lows, higher highs. Now in 256kbps!

Description : I created a hip hop groove in Logic and decided to duel some Saxophones. I am playing the Baritone sax on the left pan and the Tenor Sax on the right pan.
I added some bells like a boxing match bell to give it a fight drama feel. The hip hop track itself is dope to me. The duel is cool too. Who won?
