It contains the reggae version of http://forums.planetz.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=30051

Uses same instruments and modular mixer setup as the original version, but proposes several mixes and remixes.

In the reggae, we have a SixString doubling Massive and Razor for a quite nice acoustic sound (the plucked strings). SixString gives it something lively and "real" while razor and Massive make the spectrum. I play the B2003 (with the nose as you can hear).... it probably doesn't compare to the play quality of an Xite4Live or others here, I am not really a piano player anymore, but I like it when the B2003 goes "Hahaha" . The b2003 is really the best hammond simulationI have (didn't try all but the B2003 is glorious and sits well in a mix)...
There are two B2003 in fact, one for the melodies, and another for the typical reggae guitar/piano hits replacements (doubling a FM8).
Optimaster on the reggae version only.

Not bad 4 a white guy...
Very cool stuff, and the B2003 sounds great at the levels used. The fast rotary sounds always find their way to the top of a mix but you obviously kept them at bay.
I really like the sparse use of the Echo used too.
Then at 2:10 the JawHarp sounding synth break was nice.
Definately a Black Box II SpaceF Filter as the mix between BPF and HPF were morphing nicely.

Glad to hear your playing, your mixers and effects, and engineering used so well.

it's right, if I move the level fader of the b2003 track just a little, it is either too loud or too low in level.
To make it sound like this, an HP has been used (when recording through ModMixer), to cut excessive bass frequencies, and get that "almost vintage sound"... What I can't have are the extra high freqs that you hear in some 60s/70s recordings, as they recorded through mics ans stuff and had the room resonance (or bad quality mics ), but i'm happy with the current result (considering what I have to make it...).
The mix is good except for the bass that could have beared a strong cut at 500 khz in a few patterns...... the continuous learning curve of mixing.... versus the "i need your track for yesterday" pressure...
it was done in 2 days (thank you Maschine for the drums...).
Glad you enjoyed it !
