  1. https://medicotopics.com/don-baldini-bassist-passed-away-cancer/ I met Don last Spring when he had a gig with some friends of mine. He was so kind and humble and had endless incredible stories about his tenure with Harry James, Frank Sinatra, Tonight Show, etc. I asked him if he would come to my house to play and he graciously agreed but I regret I never got around to calling him. I'm grateful that I did have the chance to meet him.
  2. In defining smooth jazz I'm reminded of Chief Justice Stewart's definition of pornography "I know it when I see it". When I surf stations and encounter smooth jazz, my response is "wow, these musicians sound great, why do I hate this so much?... oh it's smooth jazz." BTW, I was late teens/early 20's when Dave Grusin, Jeff Lorber, Tom Scott, Lee Rit became active and I loved the stuff then, not so much now. I did see Jeff Lorber play at Toad's Place; great show. I do appreciate the Richard T influence on Dave's electric grand solo.
  3. I would have kept Clifford Brown, Richie and Nancy Powell from driving that fateful night.
  4. I cannot comment on the virtual analog aspects of the stage but I concur on the White Grand which I use on my NP3. For me it is the best virtal AP I have ever played. It crosses the critical threshold from "I can tolerate this sound" to "I love this sound".
  5. I pre-ordered mine from Sweetwater. I am convinced this will have me playing as beautifully as Lyle (or not)!
  6. How did he get the pipe organ sound at 11:00?
  7. Ocean beach drawbars works great with my Nord C1. Just use it for upper manual.
  8. James is a monster on pretty much ALL instruments! I am an accomplished jazz pianist and trumpet player and have been known to play trumpet and piano simultaneously. However since the trumpet is a Bb instrument, improvisation requires thinking in 2 different keys which is nearly impossible for my inept brain. I am amazed by musicians who can do this well.
  9. I was using AUM through a MOTU M6. Also using Ravenscroft which is in stereo. Maybe I should try it standalone?
  10. It looks like the Windows and Mac version have voice pan but on the ios the voice variation knobs do not seem to create a stereo spread, it still sounds like it is mono.
  11. I have the OB-Xd for ios and it seems to have a mono only signal. I really want to be able to pan voices but I don't think the ios version allows that. Am I missing something or is there another ios OB app that does this?
  12. I'm in the CP>>CP88 camp. I tried the CP88 and hated the piano compared to CP4. Then I tried a used NP3 with White Grand and never looked back. To me, far superior sound although the action is lighter than I like (loved the CP4 action). Of course there are many on this forum that dislike the White Grand so it is very personal taste. You can find the NP3 fairly cheap.
