Good listening!
Great arrangement. Nice tune! Thanks.
Thank @BJ_Dobbs, Iām glad you liked the piece.
Have a nice day!
Thatās a nice groove on a nice arrangement, really enjoyed it. Lovely synth playing (?). How did you do the horns?
Steve.
Thank you Steve for taking the time to listen to the piece, also for these kind comments.
The sound of the saxophone comes from two Image Sounds libraries (https://www.imagesounds.com/), Saxophone 1 and 2. From the sequences played by a real saxophonist (715 loops of 2 to 4 measures), I made a montage of a melody that I had in mind. However, I could deny that certain loops inspired me.
This melody uses 30 audio sequences (loops) and more than 127 cuts or slices. No sequence is used in its entirety, Sometimes itās just one note or two of a sequence. I tried to respect saxophone playing as much as possible. The majority of sequences do not use the musical mode despite the differences in tempo.
This is the second time that I have used libraries from this company to create melodies. Lacking real instrumentalists at my disposal, I found that these sound banks played by professional musicians offered a more than interesting alternative. Itās a lot of work, but Iām still happy with the result.
I recently purchased the āHarmonicaā sample library and it sounds really good. I would love to find a place for it in one of my next pieces.
Once again thank you!
Thatās a very good job with the horn loops
Steve.
Good job man

Hi Rene,
This was a very cool bit of time travel back to some of the Crusaders like stuff from the late 70ās (or Philly Soul). I get the title.
I particularly was impressed by the keys, drums, and strings. They really caught that āvibeā well. Iām primarily a bassist, so just about any synth bass strikes me as synthesized because thereās not the āattackā of a note that a real bassist would provide in playing a part. That said, I get why so many people take that synth bass route.
By the way, this is swetch many months later under a new account (jswetch) due to having been frozen out of the swetch one (long story). I just felt compelled to listen and write something because youāve been kind so many times in writing things relating to my posts here.
Take care,
John
Hi John,
When I finished mixing this track, I didnāt have a title. Of course, I thought the track had a funky feel to it, probably because of the sax, an Afro-American groove that was heard in the 70s. While doing some research, I came across this title āSoul Trainā which was an American variety show that was originally aimed at a black audience and promoted mainly African-American soul and rhythm and blues artists, who perform on the set surrounded by dancers.
Because of the funky feel of the track, I simply decided to use the title of the show as the title of my track. I even used the royalty-free logo of the show as an image to associate it with the track on Soundcloud.
Iām glad you enjoyed the keyboard, drum and string tracks. As for the bass, itās a VST that wants to reproduce as faithfully as possible a Bass and the playing specific to the instrument. Itās not perfect, but still pretty good, maybe a more successful mix for the instrument would have highlighted it more.
Anyway, thank you for taking the time to listen and write this comment about this piece.
With pleasure!
RenƩ
