Hi.

Just like you to tell me what you feel with my music... I am so shy !

Every tracks are Scope mixed via Xite & pci.

I try to do the best with mixing but it's hard to get sound as good as it is in my brain. Music is a hobby. When it sounds allmost nice in my little home studio, it often sounds bad anywhere else, don't hesitate to fiddle with some eq...

This is extremely good.
I listened 5 or 6 tracks.
A groove after all.
Could easily be played by SomaFm.
Not that the mixes are highlights, but the style is there, and some don't like more.
No tricks?
What's your working proces? Sample sources?

Zzzz.....now.

Some intricate arrangement and serious fusion there JoPo - well done.

Well done!

Great stuff, well done! Hope you are proud.
Lots of groove, funk, jazzed-up goodness. Very well put together too.

Can I ask, what you using for the brass, especially the harmon muted trumpet?

Thanks a lot !

For electric piano, I use applied Lounge Lizard EP-3 and now EP-4 (which I find awesome even if it's not a real one or dsp's, only a poor simple vst plugin...).
Horns are from Chris Hein in kontakt. Eanna -> you can buy instrument separatly.
The powercore Virus and fx.
Bass are from Scarbee for electrics & ChrisHein for upright nylon.
Voices are all from Tonehammer.
Congas from Natural Drum. Drums sounds are BFD2 + a big cymbal collection.
Omnisphere is much present too. All these in Cubase 5.
These are the main things which I use. And of course a lot of others...

I mix thru Xite with all kind of eq, compressor... And PsyQ, brainworx bx2, optimaster for mastering (try).
I own pci card since, I think, 1999 or maybe 98. As soon as it was released ! It's a guy in a music shop who advised me about Creamware product (the one with 4 dsp), I was looking for the best pc sampler. A beginning of a long story. With nice and bad moments.


I make maximalist music, inverse of minimalist music... I like baroque ! Not only in music !
My dream since I was a child (start to play recorder at 6 and then saxo alto at 8, it's the same fingering but my arms were too small when I was 6 for low sax notes) is to control every instruments. It becames possible thank to computers when I was already an adult ! Impossible for me to live without music.
