I almost bit into it at first, confusing it with a hunk of chocolate.

The man behind the collection is a musical genius. Despite his low profile Paul Shrofel is one of Canada's premiere musical talents. He is fully capable of sitting in with anyone, any place, anytime.

No doubt!

And, I am quickly putting his work to, ahem, work.

Very cool stuff indeed!

[Corey]

That's cool stuff Intrigued, I'm super glad to hear you are enjoying it.

Neat beds!

I just went <click> <click> <click> on the page, listening to bits & pieces. I kind of half expected to see a scroll on my screen saying "Yes, all these beds AND MORE! Who can forget THIS track???"

[Corey]

Paul is an extremely multi-dimensional player with oodles of depth, one of the best I've ever heard in that regard. When he plays rock, he plays rock, when he plays jazz, he plays jazz, when he plays fusion he plays fusion. That is *very* rare. Most musicians have one mode which they adapt to different scenarios as opposed to Paul who basically "becomes" each different style.

One of the rarest things on earth is a person who can play good bebop jazz *and* good pop rock interchangeably. I can only think of a handful of people other than Paul who could pull this off believably. I tried to organize a couple commercial releases for Paul to get him some exposure, but it didn't pan out. He does have one album out though, with a sax player. He said he was going to send me a copy but that was about a year ago, so... I don't see it on his web site so I'm not sure if it's for sale but if you see it anywhere you should grab it. (it's jazz I think)

You can also use the Liquid Cabaret web site to quickly browse samples from all the songs/volumes, I use it everytime I need to find something specific.

I have to admit that the acoustic tracks are my favorite.

[Corey]

I didn't find any tracks in the collection I didn't enjoy to some extent, some more than others though for sure. To this day it shocks me that there's only one person behind the composition and performance considering the level of diversity.

There's no question that this collection is a solid value. Musically, it is excellent as everyone here agrees. And there are quite a few tracks that are exceptional in terms of commercial employment.

If I have any criticism of the collection it's that almost none of the tracks have a natural end. When editing syncronized pieces for video, I often need that stinger at the end of a piece of music to help indicate that things are indeed over. So, I'm not sure why that was overlooked as an important feature. But all in all, it's usually not too hard to work around - I just do one of those 1970s glam rock fades to zero. But not all tracks should end that way, if you know what I'm saying.

That's odd, I just ran into that and did the same, fade-out.

I have music, then narration, voice, then narration throughout a 15MB .ogg file. Then I had to normalize the whole track.

[Corey]

Agreed. Paul is a performer/composer more than a producer per se, so sometimes one might need to adjust a few small points in order to get the tracks perfect for custom productions. But that's half the fun!

Roger that!

When I'm not eating crow, I'm loving the flexibility of AMS 5 and LUA!
