This is the fun part… where I get to sit back and see what my team of professional musicians comes up with. We’ve developed a definite process which starts with the rhythm section, the heartbeat of music. This is the recording I just approved for the drums.

The tune comes to “life” at this stage because there’s simply no substitute for “live recorded” instruments, and I trust you’ll agree by simply comparing this version to the previously posted stem mix.  Next will come the bass guitar track that, for a tune like this, I suspect will conform more or less to the MIDI bass track you presently here – the exception being the finale – At present, it’s very open, but I’m going to encourage the bass and lead guitars to really let it rip as we draw to a close!

And, to reassure you, the piano solo you’re hearing in the bridge is a “place holder” – and first take for that matter; it will be re-recorded and played with greater precision.

My next update will contain both bass and guitar parts and will take things to a whole different level. Finally, my New York brass musicians will lend their talent to killer sax and horn parts. And by the way, we do all of this work completely over the Internet!
