Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the solo voices. This shed some light on an age-old question reffering to samples and such.
I first tried to play a chord backing in a brass combi sound over the bass and drums. It sounded organ-ish and synthetis...even though the actual tone of the sample was pretty true to life. When dealing with wind instruments, you need to REthink the playing techniques and try to grab the feeling and fingering nuances that a player would use...also breath limitations.
When I stripped down the arrangement, and simplified the 3 horn parts ... it came to life. I know it sounds like there is too much delay, but it needed it to fill in the gaps behind the vocal. I posted only the Tyros tracks as a demo of the instrument. I'm not trying to sell the song. That's the writer's responsibility !(She IS too)
Anyway ..... Don, thanx for the space and the time you took to post it !
