  1. This is on the Lenny White album 'Present Tense'. It's a cover of the Bernard Wright tune. It's a great album with a whole host of top players on it. Bass on this is Marcus Miller I think.
  2. Yes, that's right. That is how I stumbled across them a couple of years ago.
  3. Yes...Also The Dakh Daughters are worth a listen. They have a completely mad stage act as well..!!
  4. My take as well. I found it quite a funny episode of p**s-taking nonsense. The Drummer in the background playing a minor comical roll was quite amusing as well.
  5. I always thought it was VW with a little displaced note shenanigans (I roughly transcribed the line below sometime back). But... since you mentioned it, I've just listened to the isolated track and can't make my mind up. Certainly isolated, it does seem a bit wobbly and maybe, you are right.
  6. I had my second Jab (Pfizer) last week and it knocked me sideways for a couple of days. Really most unpleasant. I hope you feel better soon.
  7. Yeah, I forgot it was the 'Pulse' downloader. I haven't got around to downloading the expansion pack yet, I will do that tomorrow. I've used the Pulse downloader before and it's pretty easy affair. One good thing about it is, it let's you know when and if any updates are available for any products that you already own. I've found it to be one of the better downloaders. EDIT: I haven't opened Pulse downloader for a while and noticed a couple of updates waiting for me to install AND, a freebie I had forgotten about, 'Heritage Percussion'....
  8. You will need the full version of Kontakt for this bunch of sounds from 'Audio Ollie'. A really good selection of taster patches in two parts. 1) You will need to sign up to their newsletter and you will get 15 gigs of sounds for $3.00 (a one off payment, not subscription). Taste — Audio Ollie 2) Then you can purchase the expansion pack for $9.00. (once again, a one off payment, not subscription). Taste Multi Pack — Audio Ollie 👍
  9. Then I realised it was just a case of maximising the window. It seems it might be the default for first opening and then you resize yourself? (it it's the same problem you had). All fine now though:
  10. After messing around on my boys ST1 Pro a couple of weeks ago, I bit the bullet on a cross grade deal (Using my Nuendo License). I got the above and Notion as well. Today I just got round to installing ST1. After installing, and before doing anything else, I opened up the App. The first thing I noticed was this (Screenshot 1) and remembered what you had said... Is it the same problem?
  11. It's a strange ol' one this, and something they do from time to time over at Plugin Boutique. But, leading up to these 'Deals' you can usually get the VST's in question for free, then they are withdrawn. Over the past year, I have managed to pick up Ozone and Neutron Elements for free. Trash, RX Elements and Nectar Elements free as well. I did pay £10 for the rather excellent Phoenix Reverb. I believe 'Stutter' was free as well. It does look like Phoenix Verb, R2 Stereo and Excalibur are never free, so perhaps, that is what you are paying for in this bundle? EDIT: Just to say, I think even at £44.00, it's a decent deal and you should find use for most of them, if not all from time to time.
  12. Renaud Garcia-Fons has solo albums. He's a truly remarkable player. Spotify – Garcia-Fons, Renaud: Solo Bass
  13. Only, it's a good 'un with Mr Vega. A decent bit of playing from him...👍 Shame the "Don't click play" put you off. Although, I must say, it nearly put me off.
  14. The thing with Bobby Vega, and why he is a top, top player is....he grooves (no matter what style he is using).
  15. That bloke playing 'Dean Town' is getting on my nerves...His head nodding doesn't groove at all. It really needs quantizing.
  16. Not much use to you but, up until recently, there was a YouTube channel that hosted just about every American TV show theme going back to the 60's. Included in the blurb were the names of the players on the sessions. Most of them, were fusion/Jazz/Rock players of that period that we all seem to know of. I think it had to be removed because of copyright reasons. A great shame really, it was a good resource of information.
  17. Thanks for the heads up. This video below might be from that documentary. It's how Delia and her team brought to life Ron Grainers theme (score). It's only a few minutes long and worth watching.
  18. I love Jimmy Webb's melodic style. He's a real master of catchy tunes and hooks. Interestingly, you might like this article in the 'Los Angeles Times'. Although, It's mainly about MacArthur Park. The article is from 2007, but Will Lee posted it up on his Facebook page at some point recently. I only noticed it this morning. 'MacArthur Park' Jimmy Webb | 1968 - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)
  19. Brenda Russel. I love her live version of 'Piano In The Dark'.
  20. Ah, okay. If the extras are there (my second screenshot) , they should be under 'Products' and then the third tab, 'Addons'. They are not exclusive to Sphere, but may well be freebies that only come with the Pro version.
  21. Have you download the Presonus Hub to collect any freebies available? There should be more to Ampire than what you have.
