True Chance

[Mike Huntingford]

I have completely redone once of my favorite songs... all new everything.

I hope you enjoy it.

Smooth

I have a soft spot for west coast jazz, and this has the same lazy, loping feel. Cruising through sunny days with a sipping beverage of your choice close by.

But this particular sunny day comes to an abrupt stop mid-morning! Did you mean to post a truncated track? I was just getting into the groove when it ... stops without warning!  Update: No it doesn't Leigh. Don't be silly. I'd downloaded the track, and for some reason ended up with only a partial copy.

Can you tell me a little about the instruments and equipment you used to record this? It's very smooth.

Smooth as silk! Great production everything sits in it's own place so comfortably.
I like how you gave each instrument it's showcase. Well done!

I'm now listening to the HQ version.

Did you master this??? Sounds so vibrant.

[Mike Huntingford]

Reference question did I master this?

Answer - Yes most of it inside SONAR Platinum and then in AVS Audio Editor Suite.

The rhythm guitar is great, reminds me of Nicky Skopelitis.

I like it!
