-=Salute=- (an ode to @LinearLineman)

Something a little different while I take a break from my drum mixing sessions. @LinearLineman suggested I try the Duduk instrument in the World Synth app, so I took it for a little spin tonight. Wouldn’t you know, he’s right! It’s awesome!

From my YouTube description:

_This piece is for someone we all look up to on the AudioBus forums. Our mentor, and our good friend Michael Levy!

Very nice, especially the Duduk part but you might be hearing from Pachelbels lawyers😊

lol I know, it’s one of those “classically inspired” parts. The “Cannon-esque” piano bass line just came out naturally. I changed the octave of some of those notes after the fact (and after I realized what I had done) to hopefully fly under the radar.

Thanks so much for the kind words, Ed. Though it’s more of a virtuous circle for me. I’m positive I would not have created any of this stuff without the support, resources and guidance of people like you, @wim, @rs2000, @Spidericemidas , @McD, @GeoTony, @CracklePot, @Daveypoo, @JanKun , @kuhl and many others who have helped me be so productive.

Besides, I think the best thing I may have done here is to encourage you to stop smoking! Hope that’s still in effect.

You put that Duduk to good use. The piano in WorldSynth is also very good for cutting thru a mix. Good source for Arabic strings, too.

I’ll listen to anything with duduk. Duduk and bansuri are my two favorite wind instruments.

Well, I hope my duduking at least met your standards 🙏

looking up “bansuri” - another instrument I had never heard of until recently

The free Noise app has a nice MPE bansuri. Also a duduk.
