I wanted to return to my favorite genre for the competition, so I wrote me some jazz. I was trying to capture the feel of the kind of song you'd hear late at night in a smoky club, with a quartet and a "girl singer". I love standards, and that's what I was going for here.
Track 1:Jazz Piano Bar 18, 19, 13, 23, 22, 26, and 27. With reverb
Track 2:Walking Upright Bass 01 and 04. With reverb
Track 3: Lounge Jazz Drums 15 and 06. With reverb
Tracks 4, 5, and 6:Vocal Track with slight compressor, Vocal Presence EQ, and reverb. All three tracks are the same, one set to the left, one to the right, and one in the middle. It gives the vocals more fullness.
Track 7:Solo Vibraphone. There are two keyed sequences, one that is repeated in the chorus, and one at the end. The vibe solo consists of loops from other instruments brought into the software vibe field. These are: Upbeat Electric Piano 03, Blue Jazz Organ Riff 13, and Walking Upright Bass (I played this bass as found, then copied it and repeated one octave down).
That's it. 7 Tracks, 4 instruments and 1 tripled vocal.
