Yes, I like less reverb, but who am I to know. I thought you got a more natural sound on the other setting.
They're both good, and if there wasn't the request for comparison, the differences would have gone unnoticed.
well this is a bit awkward, but i have been chatting with Nosda Cariad about the various plus and minus of sound settings ie reverb,,, sometimes i feel like i have used too much, as sort of a crutch. in this version the reverb has been toned down…

This is a blues riff I've been playing with for a while. I wanted to start with a slow style blues. I'm working on a sped up dance version. So I threw down some rough lyrics and did a quick demo recording, added a solo and a small vocal backup…

Norm has been teaching a master's class in percussion and gave me (a lot!!) of guidance to try to add bass properly to this. I added 5 string bass, Fender Mustang and GR-20 sax to his excellent Tumbao track. We hope you enjoy it.
A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.

======================================
This song was written and performed by Holger Bremer. My only role in it was the mix and master…
A single track of improvised chromatically tuned congas in 7/8, accented with clave, guiro, cajon and quinto.
(For those who may be interested in collaborating on this, the triplet phrasing of this groove may be most easily counted like this…
very cool,, two or three or how many congas? some of it sounds like beats on the out side of the skin and some from the center,, im trying to picture the technique,,, have you ever made a video of your play?? i think it would be fun to watch,,, well hit R
Reg took a collaboration from Chris Vaisvil, Norm and threw it into the cellar last night and this is what was returned through Regs door this morning...... a tale from the old wild west.........................
This is about the free spirit soaring high above the seas, forests, cities and times.
~There is no dark side in the moon, really. As a matter of fact it's all dark~
wonderful playing,,,the first piano part is particularly well constructed, recording or midi? the sound is great, the synth/electric organ? adds a very different sound style,,, also very nice, i think if it was me, i might have made them into 2 different pieces,, (but that's me) id love to hear your thinking on this creative decision... take care Richard
yes touching and beautiful,,,you do great justice,, to what is one of my most favorite songs,,, the song it self is such a wonderful combination of music and lyrics,,, your style/treatment is very fine..
For Debbie, written (just) before I met her.

This traditional Cuban rhythm is the well established "go-to" pattern for 4/4 songs. It is perhaps the most commonly heard conga pattern in 4/4 music. The bongo pattern that accompanies the congas is referred to as "martillo" (the hammer…

You are really creating yourself an RPM Challenge masterpiece. It's another beautiful contribution.

Really nice piece, once again. But too short.
That is incredible..I am imagining a scene showing a battle field and the aftermath of war...something along those lines.
Way cool , dig those horns.
Excellent! Love the tension/ release especially at about 3 minutes
Magical stuff. Very tasty.
awesome arrangement.. i couldn't stop listening
Yes, I like less reverb, but who am I to know. I thought you got a more natural sound on the other setting. They're both good, and if there wasn't the request for comparison, the differences would have gone unnoticed.
The reverb setting is a success to my ears. Nice Cello and overall piece.
Breathtaking Good tension and resolution with captivating arrangement. Nice one Richard.
If you do not do work for film....u should. Very nice piece here.
Yes! This should be an overture! Absolutely wonderful, Richard!
Very soundrack-ish, well done!
