Got Studio One 4 10 days ago and this is my 1st recording using it so I am still learning my way around. Well that's my excuse.

I'm blown away

really good stuff. Love the beginning. good blend of different instruments that imply different settings, for me anyways.

Thanks CC much appreciated.

Yes I like this too. I like your mix here as well. Very nice and full and clean. You have done very well for a very early production on Studio One. Trumpet sounds cool in this too.

I also hate standard back beats with kick on 1 and 3 and snare on 2 and 4 all the time. That is just so over used. You have thought around the groove in this. Its a nice steady 4 but a more interesting and applied groove rather than a blatant 2 and 4 thing. Well done.

Very cool track. I think it really conveys the smoky groove you were aiming for.

May i ask what the trumpet source is? Very tasteful stuff.

This is Really good

Love the guitar playing. It's got that lonely sound & feel to it on one side and a slowly creeping forward feel on the other.

The drum sound is cool in that it doesn't sound like a traditional drum kit (which I like). It adds something modern to the track and makes the drums standout without them being overly loud.

The trumpet sounds excellent too!

Crazy good guitar playing!

Thanks for sharing!

Many thanks I think S1 is so intuitive and after many years of using CB the transition was almost faultless. I had to refer to the manual and some videos a couple of times but in general it was a doddle. Certainly for getting ideas down quickly and composing S1 is IMHO in a league of its own.

Many thanks, yes the Trumpet is in fact a Flugelhorn and you can get it hear : https://www.ueberschall.com/en/product/221/Flugelhorn

Worth noting the only thing I added was a Room Reverb.

Hey
I really like the mellow guitars and the saxophone/trumpet.
(I have to write as an amateur to real instruments)
It's a really relaxing track.
Well produced.
Layed back.
And well arranged.
The ambient sounds of thunderstorm fit it well.
Best wishes
Florian

Missed this.
Sounds great. Really good job on the production and mix.
