      B3 plugins ... what is the current state?

      By AnotherScott · Posted

      Yes, pretty much anything through a real Leslie beats anything through a sim. 😉 The problem is, nobody wants to carry a 145 or 122 to a gig these days, so we settle.

      The diminished chord in Wave

      By Jazz+ · Posted

      I appreciate your initial post dazzjazz.   By the way, I sometimes like to play D-11 in bars of 3 and 4 of "The Girl from Ipanema," it gives it a different feeling on solo piano. And sometimes C7 sus instead of the classic Gb7. Playing Eb-7 instead of Gb Maj7 at the top of the bridge is a great idea too!

      The diminished chord in Wave

      By AROIOS · Posted

      Thanks for the clarification, I've always remembered the song in E. The last three chords are simply a chromatic walk down to Imaj7: VIIbm6 - VIm6 - VIbm6 - Imaj7, although there's nothing criminal with the Realbook marking the last two chords as a 2-5-1 (II7 - V7b9 - Imaj7). As for Eb melodic minor not doing it for dazzjazz on the Ebm6, let's not forget that the 7th note of Eb mel. minor is not played in Ebm6, that makes good ole Ab mixolydian a perfect candidate for Ebm6, as well as G mixo and Gb mixo for the last two chords, respectively.

      B3 plugins ... what is the current state?

      By D. Gauss · Posted

      I'm not B3 cork sniffer, but I think that once you run one of these VST's (B3x/Vb3) through a real mic'ed up Leslie, you'll fool pretty much anyone in a full band mix. Awhile back, I  produced an album for a band where the keyboard player tracked with an Xk3 through a weird hodge-podge solid state Leslie with a tube preamp.  Seeing the midi out plug on the XK3, I grabbed a midi cable into the DAW as well.  When i mixed the album, i discarded his audio tracks and just ran the midi track through VB3  (V1 not II) and into my mic'ed up Leslie 145. Years later and the guy is still raving about what a great sound I managed to get out of his organ.

      Ultra-Analog: GRP A2

      By marino · Posted

      Yes! And also big, good knobs on a large panel.       Well, in this case I'm almost sure there were problems with the video camera, because I noticed the issue while editing, much before uploading the video on YT. While I was shooting the video, I had set up the lights and the camera settings exactly like in previous videos, but the outcome was so bad that for the first time ever, I had to attempt corrections in the editing stage. It was only partially useful, and it added some artifacts to the image (you can notice that on my hands, for example). Btw, thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try.

      I always reduce video to 1024x720 before uploading to YT.  It will still get compressed but not horribly grainy.
