Nashid77 Making a West Coast Track

A couple people left comments and/or sent messages requesting a West Coast type of track. I'm biased to sampling but I didn't think that would be the right way to go. I also didn't want to make anything that sounds dated or cliche. No funky worm. No splashy snares... Just that vibe, captured the best way I can without ever setting foot on soil west of the Mississippi. I could imagine Game on this track (as heard in the background of the intro to this vid). Shout out to my California family.

Nice track man. First time I've EVER seen someone still using the VS-880EX. I just got a JV-1080 and still have and use my VS-880EX. I like the way u still get mileage out of hardware...Keep flowin....

[Nashid77]

@7thgroove Thanks. Check out the Vintage Keys expansion for the JV. Good sounds on there.... the main reason I still use it. That and the bass sounds.

@Nashid77 I really got it to use the Orchestral I and II cards. I use Logic Pro and definitely have enough vintage keys. Good lookin' out though...

[Nashid77]

@7thgroove How do you like those? The only other card I've used is the Dance card and its garbage. Made me not wanna get more.

@Nashid77 I've got the demos. Gonna get the cards off eBay in a few weeks. Though I use Logic, I still like the great patches that Roland makes, still like using hardware.
