Jazz EZX Ballad!

[Anders Hagström]

Hi,
First song with the Jazz EZX brushed Kit!
I used only the included midi. Did the basic grooves in EZPP and then imported to cubase for further editing.

I really like this library and I hope that TT will release a SDX version!

That’s really cool!

Thanks!
It´s fun trying to sound jazzy sometimes.
I always been sceptical about using midifiles for this kind of music, but I think the drums sound very convincing.
Guitars and bass was recorded with a Radial DI and then re-amped with Podfarm. Forgot to mention that in the first post.

Thanks again!
Anders.

Alrighty.
FireFox is working with this mp3.
Sounds really, really good!
No kidding – I really dig that tone that you got goin on.
Nice job

Really nice track once again!

The drums sound really good, I’d say they are convincing for sure. I’m surprised how good the ‘swishes’ (don’t know the technical term sorry) sound. I wonder though if they would only sound right in tracks within a limited tempo range. I.e. if you played at a tempo 10 bpm faster than your ‘When Does It End’ track would it still sound like the drummer was making the circle on the ‘swish’ (lol) at the correct speed? Or would they sound too slow?

Just out of interest, how do you find the Jazz library for genres other than jazz?

Cheers,
Jeremy.

Very nice! I really liked this one!

The whole song sounded great!

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply!
Thanks for posting the nice comments, and I´m very glad that you all liked this tune.

Jeremy,
I think that the technical term is “swirls”. I tried some different tempos, and they sounded good IMO.
I would use the Jazz EZX for all kinds of “softer” music. I´m actually working on a “rockier” tune right now. I´ll see if I can do two different versions just for comparison (Jazz and C&V).

Man that’s sweet!

[Dunnie]

Did you use e-drums to trigger this or did you just compose the midi tracks. I am asking because I have no idea how to trigger swirls like that with my TDW-20.

I was using only jazz ezx midi for this tune, so I can´t help you with the e-drum setup.
You can try and post a question in the “e-drum workshop” forum.

Davoe: Thanks man!

Anders.
