80's Musicman or Wal.

About 20 years ago or so, I walked into a bar in Glasgow to listen to some Jazz and Ewan was on Double Bass. He sounded great, very fluent and on top of it. I was then told he hadn't been playing Upright that long. Excellent musician.

The Pink Panther Theme. 😁

The very first beat of 'Rock With You'. Bass drum then snare.

If you mean the buzzing type sound, I can hear it. It's mostly on the E and A strings. Other than that, sorry, I'm not much help.

Beat It - Michael Jackson.

I have pretty much all of GB's albums going right back to the CTI (Jazz) days. I think he's great. Although, some of the YouTube videos I have seen of him in the last 6/7 years or so, he seems to be struggling a bit and below the high standards he set. But then again, as pointed out above, he's getting on a bit. I was listening to the Breezin' album earlier today. Some really great playing from all involved.

Why was the 'Desktop Window Manager' so high? Maybe look into that with a Google search. Maybe check this. https://www.thewindowsclub.com/desktop-window-manager-dwm-exe It should be quite low really. This is mine.

Here is my older Windows i7 with 32 gig of RAM (with no DAW loaded). The figures start to look a lot more promising RAM percentage wise. Also, take into account that W10 needs around 2 gigs to operate, so the OP has only 6 gigs available before background tasks and Internet security kicks in (assuming it's a x64 system). In my case, it seems after windows 10 RAM access, 2 more gigs are used on other stuff running. So for me, 4 gigs is taken up before I start using my DAW. The OP seems to have over 6 gig taken up before DAW use. I think he needs to go up to 16 gigs. (assuming there is not a problem going on) I can quite easily run 50 Instrument tracks loaded with large sample libraries before I have to start freezing tracks, and that is running my Audio interface at 64 samples. Of course for mixing, I take it up to 1024 samples. This is running Nuendo 11x, although, I do have Studio One 5.5.1 as well, but that doesn't run anywhere near as well for track counts and smoothness. I usually only access the internet for updates/upgrades etc. I've turned it on just to show it's RAM usage. I have a Laptop and phone for all Internet tasks. I have tuned my PC for Audio using all the tips that seem to be available (which meant turning off various things) and the tips/suggestions do make a difference to my system, so it's worth looking into. Saying that, my son works in Audio as well, and he has the latest generation i7 and the newest RAM spec available (64 gig). He doesn't turn anything off - It's all running sweet. Depends on the age and spec of your system, I suppose.

^^^ Billy Nelson on Bass as well...!!

Sad news. Top session player back in the day and a great musician. His website is a bit dated but there is a good list of tunes he played on, including a few of those American TV Drama/Cop themes and seasons from the late 70's and 80's. http://www.scottedwardsmusic.com/favorite.htm

If you like 'The Dan', this is well worth a listen. 👍 Apologies if it has been posted before.

This was over on 'TalkBass' a few years back: "I had always wondered how Mike got his tone on dirt, Well this is straight from Evan, the owner of Bass Northwest who was there, and whom I bought the amp from after Mikes Death; I did work with Mike Starr and Alice In Chains on their first two studio albums. The tone you hear was from a Spector NS-2 bass, Ampeg SVT-II Amp Head, SVT-810E cabinet and on the Dirt album I also used an ART SGX Nightbass in addition to the miked up cabinet and direct box. Evan went further to say; The ART SGX Nightbass was used with the regular direct box and the Ampeg SVT-II/SVT-810E amp system. I used the "Rickenfaker" preset and then tweaked it to have a bit more of a grindy tone. That was blended with the clean direct box sound and the slight grindy Ampeg tone to get the sound that you hear on the Dirt album. Actually, many of the songs on Dirt have the black Kramer Ferrington bass double tracked with the white Spector NS-2. I also sold both of those Basses to Mike. As far as Mikes amp settings, they are as follows; input, normal left side, vol=2.5 ultra low=out, post=out, bass=7, mid=6, mid freq=#5, treb=5, ultra hi=in, graphic=in"

If you are getting a note "Hang".... it's also a good idea to check that it's not just a case of (midi) note on/off messages playing up. Which can be a few different reasons. Sustain/hold Pedals, Velocity at '0' etc... Google searching will bring up a few fixes/solutions for note on/off problems.

Yes, a great band to listen to with solid grooves and good horn section arranging. Bassist (back then) Jamil Joanes, had a tight, articulate style. In the mid 80's I was working in Rio for about six months and saw them a couple of times live. They were great to listen to. If I remember correctly, when most of the original members started calling it a day, younger family members stepped in and took over.

For iPad users, Dorico is free and really worth checking out. Although, the free version only allows two players/Instruments input (you can view a full score but not edit). You can subscribe or pay a for more players/Instruments or, if you own the desktop version, that unlocks the extras. https://www.steinberg.net/dorico/ipad/ There is also a very usable, free desktop version, with an upgrade path to the Elements and Pro versions: https://www.steinberg.net/dorico/compare-editions/ Tutorial play list for Dorico SE:
