Hapy New Year and Thanks again for all the feedback, I always consider every idea and comment, keep 'em coming.
@Inanité_sonore - Thanks for this, glad you like the bass.
@David Christy Jones - 'Gin and Tonic' guitar licks - dig that phrase, maybe you picked up that one of the first 335 guitar licks later became the basis for the heavy synth bass line...
I guess it would suit a game, but life is just a game anyway, as Kapai once said.
@crystalsuzy - So glad that you can relate to this bloke, I used to see him in action in the discos when I was much younger, such a sad sight, pestering girls, thinking he was the sexiest thing in the room, when in fact the Bose sound system had more going for it than he did...
I wanted the vibe of a club, noisey, hot, half pissed, but a total fun night out, even the tought of going out into the cold winter's air, and then off to the chinese for a special curry afterwards...
Caz came up with the lyrics and melody line...maybe she's had experience of these type of creeps?
@bigFishAndTheSmallPondets - To be compared with the Great Marvin - Such a compliment - 'the band also supports this with a tight groove' that's already made my year...glad you liked it, that's all I could hope for.
@pnb99 - Hi Paul, nice to hear from you again, you were sorely missed. Glad you dig. A lot of my work is composed, rather than 'a song'
per se, I create to how I want it, rather than how it conventionally should be done, that way It keeps things straight in my mind, and then I can add to that with hooky phrases etc, to bring people back into what they might expect a song to be.
Never heard any brand new heavies. with the brass, I'm a huge fan of Earth Wind and Fire, they know how to nail brass, but midi brass is notoriously awful and so often ruins a song (as does awful keys and strings) so I was delighted to find that Magix Independence pro's brass is rather tasty, so i experimented with that and was pleased with the results, so that is my goto vst for punchy brass, it's also good for strings.
As for the bass well, I enjoy playing that, it always makes me smile while I'm tracking bass parts.
You've got a point with the Verb, I wasn't sure about which one to go for at the time, and to be honest I don't remember which I used, i normally go for Lexicon Native Verb plus an Soundtoys EchoBoy on LVox, (there might be something ambient on the master buss) Sometimes i know what I want but can't quite nail it.
Anyway thanks again.
Just before I go, Caz did a couple of BRILLIANT takes of do do do's following the bass and guitars at the end, but I never got those stems, tried a few vocalists to recreate them but none worked ...Oh well one day maybe...
