Its been a while since I’ve posted, and a friend of mine was working on the bass for this, so I checked out my old version and hated it. This one is more accurate. First, it sticks closely to Ringo’s drum track. Secondly, the bassline is now accurate.
More importantly, Ive completely reworked the datasheet. In the recording, Paul’s bass is doubled up by John… but I want to do some chord work, so I buried the lead “bassline” in the chords. On the cheatsheet, look at the tab and you’ll get the idea, its really just walkdowns and walkups…fingering can be an issue.
This still uses Phil Flood’s older kit, NP BOSENDORFER JAZZ TRIO XRP beccause it has a very good brush snare and good handclaps which are both important. I maxed out the volume on the bass and lowered the overall piano volume.
Finally, and I apologize, but I just couldnt get the sax solo in as the range of the beatbuddy when running a multi-part kit is way too limited.
This is pretty impressive. I’m playing with it right now, The missing sax provides some interesting guitar opportunities. I almost like it better with the Jazz Trio Brushes 60 + C0 kit. Great Tune.
Since it’s an OPB (One Press Bass), and one of mine, I put the ENTIRE song into the OUTRO section. The MAIN is just a holding pattern, silent, that allows you time to set temp etc etc. Then just trigger the OUTRO and away you go.
I would always go back to the source for two reasons, first obviously, it’s the source and sometimes I make changes as I develop the BB tune. Second, it’s just easier. The BBM editor sucks and if you’re already familiar with a DAW, why increase your learning curve?
By the way, if it’s one of my tunes, I usually put the midi into the zip unless it’s a midi that can’t be shared.
