Inspired by the Jazz Rock Fusion era of the 70's, this instrumental was first composed in the mid 80's then the 4 track master stolen along with a bunch of my other portastudio cassettes from a garage.
So I re-recorded it in 2007 - again loosing the Cubase file in a backup accident.
Now, re-recorded in 2015 for the 3rd time from scratch I guess that proves that Jazz Never Dies !

Real nice tracck. Amazing that you could recreate it! What's the lead synth? I would love to have that patch if possible.

Yeah the opening chord progression took some figuring, still not sure if I got the original inversions
The leads are stock - well tweaked a bit, the first sort of harsh one with the +8ve harmonic in sustain is one of the original DX7 ROM leads. The other softer more analog sounding one that comes later is a proTone lead.
Ill put pics with the preset named later.

Right, it's the ProTone preset I'd like. I thought it was that synth.

I like it. Sounds good. But are you sure the bass is mixed properly? I listen to all my music on my cheap soundbar with a small subwoofer (well it has bluetooth and it's also hooked up to my TV and record player). Your track had a lot more bass than all the other music I listen to on it normally. Otherwise, nice sounds.

@tom : Yeah it was a bit out of whack that mix. I've tweaked and re-uploaded it twice since then. Theres less bottom now but still may be a little OTT (?)
@ronnie: The proTone preset is called 'single-pulse-width' - it's probable that I tweaked it :

proTone is kind o a 'dont need yer analogs anymore' synth.

That's why I love presets! You start with a good sound and make it sound great!

Dante,
Yes, the bass sounds a lot better now. I listen to music all day long on these speakers and it sounds pretty close in terms of balance as the other usual stuff.

Now Remixed / Remastered using Harrison Mixbus, UAD2, Shreddage 2 and other updated technologies.
First recorded this on a 4 track Tascam Portatudio in 1984 with a cheap guitar with Boss pedals, Yamaha CX5 and a Yamaha DX7 and lots of bouncing.
