Nice Chuck, Very authentic steel drums you got going on there. I wouldn't be surprised that you'll hear about a deal coming down the pike for this one.Derek

Thanks everyone for the comments.This is the first Calypso track I've done. I tried to envision a band playing at the dock as you pull into port on a cruise ship and capture it's spirit. BTW The steel drums are a combination of a sample in the World section of Kontakt 3 (there has been some discussion about Kontakt 3, well worth the upgrade and/or investment in this version) and a steel drum sample from an EMU Planet Earth module.I think the combination help create the illusion of multiple players and the inherent slightly out of tune to each other effect.The guitar part is (unfortunately) real and not coming from a virtual instrument.
