Instruments: Drump-Loop by Harvey Mason (one of my my favourites) from the latest Fourplay Album

- I think that should be OK for this purpose. Additional Loops & fills: Spectrasonics Stylus, Cymbals: NI Battery, Bass: Fender Jazz Bass (5-Strg.) via Bass-Pod, Piano: The Grand, Pad: Korg Triton (Full Vox Pad, not layered), Bells: TR-Rack, Acoustic guitar: Ramirez (DIed via Bass-Pod), Electric guitar: Fender Strat via Roland VG-88 with e-bow. All played by myself.
Recording (24 bit): Guitars & Triton & TR via A-16 in XTC-Mode in SX.

Mixing: Only Masterverb PRO used on guitars / The Grand and slightly Mod.-Delay from Cubase, no rev. on Pad or Drums. PSY-Q on Master (only 16 ticks high EQ, 10 ticks Stereo enh.), Drums: SPL-Attacker (level 2-3) on Harvey's loop, Bassdrum extended with W. Steckenleitners Exciter Sub-Bass on a second track, lp filter from Timeworks to isolate kick. Directly recorded to Wavelab 4 in XTC-Mode as 16bit/44.1 WAV file. Encoded as MP3 128 kbit/s. using Fraunhofer codec (from WL3 as posted).

Mastering: very little bass compressing in WL with Mastering compressor. Peak master. File rendered through Studer A80RCH Half-inch impulse response file.
Do you enjoy it? Any comments concerning music, playing, mixing and mastering appreciated! Greetings Steve-o.

Thanks for the comment - how would you call it instead of Ambient, algorythm?

well i'm not too familiar with this style, but it sounds prog rock/smooth jazz to me, maybe even a bit new-agey . . .

I think smooth jazz would be the best description. Thanks for your interest!
