Great song… Nicely done too… Thank you for doing this one… ![:beers: :beers:](https://sjc3.discourse-cdn.com/business6/images/emoji/twitter/beers.png?v=9)
For v4 the Motown Piano & Brass sounds a bit wunky, is it just me doing something wrong @Persist?..
I have tried a few other drum kits, like Stax Yamaha Piano and Hi Strings…
Thank you for the feedback. It’s probably not you.
As I listened to the v4 song again, I couldn’t quite relate to the wumpiness that you were hearing. Is it the keys, horns or bass that sound “wumpy”? ![:grinning: :grinning:](https://sjc3.discourse-cdn.com/business6/images/emoji/twitter/grinning.png?v=9)
My hearing tends to get “burned out” after previewing so many different kits in search of the best sounding instruments. This song was a tough one to get a kit that was the right fit. Either the piano did not sound right or when it did, the horns didn’t sound right. So I guess it was a compromise to find something that worked best with what I had. The only other kit that I liked was the STAX Jazz Trio Brushes & Synth Strings. The tradeoff being that the synth strings replace the horns and the upright bass notes seem to decay too quickly.
I think it was on my end after all… I had a Motown kit that had been altered, and hadn’t been renamed… I replaced the kit with the stock Motown kit and it was much better…
Sorry for the confusion… and thanks again for the song… ![:beers: :beers:](https://sjc3.discourse-cdn.com/business6/images/emoji/twitter/beers.png?v=9)
