Hey Scott

Mate tried reviewing this one last night, but net was so slow, so back here now so I can do your great justice hearing it at the correct speed, Guitar a big stand out for me, sounds great, mate who is on the guitar? very good player....crystal clear production, liking the vocal bits that filter through, then man the sax kicks and takes it t another level, amazing piece to listen too here in OZ on a beautiful Sunday morning...FAV...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...

Wow sounds good.

I must admit this tune wasn't really my style of guitar playing but I hope everyone enjoys it.

on Sandys Beat by ScottB55
I had to look up who Sandy Nelson was, pardon my ignorance but after listening you are correct sir. The drums do indeed have a similar style and are also very cool. I dig songs played using lots of toms. I love good old straight up blues based rock and roll. I want to sit in and jam, ha!

Ever hear of Hoyt Curtin? One thing he was known for doing was tv cartoon themes like Jonny Quest in the 60's. The drums totally rock in his music, you may like his music, figured I would suggest checking him out. Been listening to him a lot lately.

Not sure how ya got Ian Anderson to play some flute but that was a neat choice of instruments. ;) Was it live or a sample? Cool horns, guitar, keys and of course the drums were exceptional. The composition was as great as the execution on the production/playing.

Well done Scott and company!

Hey Wayne,

Thanks for your most pleasant comment. I sure wish we could jam together. Although I do love making music digitally with my friends, I do miss live playing.

Sandy was a big inspiration for me. Not a great drummer, but he played allot of drums in his music, which, as a kid, I really liked. I looked for anything with drum solos. Hell, I literally wore out In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

I checked out Hoyt Curtin and, although I've heard his music for years, I never knew who he was. Really good stuff BTW.

Yeah, Ian and I are pretty tight, so he helps out on occasion. These were samples, unfortunately.

Cheers,
Scott

on Sandys Beat by ScottB55
hi Scott,

indeed the toms from 0:36 reminded pretty much 'Let there be drums' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC9okWm8A6o (I did a little YT search:) It's an old styled special kind of rock - very bluesy, not something I am listening very often...

Nice flute action and Rhodes coming in at 3:34.

My favourite part is 3:25 - 4:00. It definitely reminds early 70's improvised funky jazz in the manner of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bIk1Wl21Yk

Nice one!

Best greetings, Alex
ScottB55
ScottB55 replied 15th May 2015 - 9 years ago
Hey Alex,

Thanks allot for your comment and the links. I checked them out and have heard 'Let there be drum' many times. His drumming was simple enough, that as a kid, I could play his beats, so it was a good learning exercise. I'm surprised there wasn't more of his stuff on YT. He did many albums.

I hadn't heard that particular Weather Report track, but am quite familiar with them. If memory serves, you do some styles similar to them.

Cheers,
Scott

Super cool!

What an innovative genre is 'rock'...look at yours, Alex's (Promenade) or my track...they all uploaded under rock...:-)

Feeling, groovy, technicality, percussivness (is there an English word like this?)

Bravo Scott, this is outstanding!!!

very cool...the very up-front guitar bit caught me a bit by surprise to start with...great job on the production...placement/panning...and putting the band all together in the same place left to right & front to back......as always the drums are notably good, as is the musicianship,...its some easy none shaking goodness Scott...enjoyed the listen big time....fav.....Ed

Funky pleasant track.
Good bass riff.
Guitars are really on spot: probably they are the main-actor here.
Impeccable drum work, as usual ... may I add ;-)

Hello Scott!

Very tasty track to get us moving and headbanging slowly...guitar from 0.18 reminds me Lenny Kravitz...guitar solo from 2.20 is outstanding and the whole track pulsates incredibly...
Live number surely...

Respect and handshake, Danke

hi:)

very quality loops in here - hopefully lm members will be able to perform guitars and synths (and trumpets!) like this some day as well.

Where these loops are from, if I may ask?

Good funky number with nice guitar lines.

ScottB55 replied 23rd Apr 2015 - 10 years ago
Thanks allot, Alex. I appreciate your comment.

Ya know, I have been browsing for loops and samples for years. I get them from friends or on different sites, including this one. When I hear something I can possibly use, I just file it, so I never really know where I get any given file. If you ever hear anything you like and can use, lmk and I'll toss it your way.

Cheers,
Scott

I`v e got to get my head into Kontakt..(I just have the free player for now) but you have some great sounds going on there Scott (really like the string pad backing)...I listen to your music and find myself saying "Hell Yeah",,its always so well done in terms of both performance and production...nice up-front vocal (guessing you put a fairly long pre-delay on that bit of reverb that fits just right)...Franco is always most tasteful on his guitar doing this kind of composition...just fits nice and subtly with everything else...Great job by all...definite fav.....Ed
ScottB55
ScottB55 replied 14th Apr 2015 - 10 years ago
Hey Ed,

Yeah, Kontakt is nice. I've only been using it a few weeks, but the VST instruments are more realistic than most. There are tons of instrument packs for it, and you can also use QLEW (Quantum Leap East West) with it. It really uses allot of memory, so if you do get it, make sure you have the memory for it.

Thanks for your kind word of my track. For my vocals I usually use Sonar's 'Boost11' unless it's really strong. Yes, Franco and I work on quite a few projects together, with my solo stuff and with Musicante. He has a nice feel for the music.

Cheers,
Scott

This is a very cool pop song Scott. The vocals are great, who is singing? The horns and strings at 3:30 is a nice dynamic change. Drums sound nice. You always seem to have even mixes, everything in it's place.

Tip of my hat to all involved!

Thanks allot, Wayne. Glad you like it. The vocals were some samples I found on the net somewhere awhile back. Glad you like the orchestration. I have a great passion for orchestral music, having played in a few in my younger days. I love it when bands opt to have an orchestra back them.

Hi Scott ....

Just a short time here .... and happy to discover this track that has not aged (in concept) even if with your knowledge "technical" of today, have brought him even more shine and radiance. The guitar is discrette but effective. It is the voice of whom?
