Tranquilo- Drums, Bass, and new Piano

Tranquilo is beginning to come together.  This is a preview mix with the live recorded drums and bass guitar properly integrated, at least in terms of mix level.  I’m quite impressed with the stereo drum track I received from StudioPros – I placed it into the mix without any tweaking!  Pretty much the same for the bass guitar track except some minor low frequency shaving below 120Hz.

I’ve just reviewed the acoustic (rhythm) guitar track but I’ll wait for the lead guitar recording before placing those into the mix.  The finale section remains “wide open” for now and I’ll make some decisions as to who will take the lead.   One thought: What about letting the sax player rip along side the guitarist?  The piano, me, could just go into “tranquilo mode” or fill in as necessary?

Should have the guitar tracks in by the weekend and then we’ll move on to recording live sax and horns!  More to follow…

I am a professional hobbyist when it comes to this.   Though my relationship with the piano began at a young age, I only recently pulled off the gloves to rekindle it and haven’t looked back since.   This was partly inspired by huge advancements in music production technology now available to all  – and from the comfort and privacy of your home!   I’ve never subscribed much to job titles so I won’t attempt to label my genre.  Besides, composing music mirrors life in that there are really only two ways to write a song: your way, and the wrong way. 

Thank you for your interest and encouragement.
