The sound is very modal and reminiscent of a dark Appalachian dirge. There are hints of some of the songs from the Eagles "Desperado" album. I almost always write a story before I begin a song, but in this case I let the style dictate what I finally decided to write. I was tempted to add some acoustic lead to it, but the style was so nice as-is I decided to just leave it alone. The only style change was to add a Bluegrass Soloist Fiddle RealTrack for some balance to the Resonator Guitar, which we showcased as the lead instrument in the final mix. Harmonies courtesy of the TC Helicon VL3X. Amazing piece of gear. Check out the PGM hardware page for more info. Also, in the following forum thread I posted some helpful hints for recording and performing with BIAB and the TC Helicon VL3X: Using BIAB with the TC Helicon VL3X Hope you enjoy what we did here. ~Rob **** Song Summary *********** Style is _VILLAIN.STY (Villain Resonator Southern Rock) Category: Americana Title: Back In Their Day File: Villain.SGU Key=Bm , Tempo 85, Length (m:s)=4:02 8 bar intro, 76 bar chorus, from bar 9 to bar 84.

Now I'm not claiming that all that's true I wasn't there so I can't say But Grandma told me, now I'm telling you That's how it happened...back in their day BIAB 2018 ULTRA https://soundcloud.com/bob-buford https://www.youtube.com/user/hawgly https://www.songtradr.com/user/profile/bob.buford

This will be tough competition for rest of us. But I got one more trick up my sleeve... Thanks, Dan. Me and my smooth vocal cords appreciate it. I had a lot of problems with my voice earlier this year. Ended up going to the doc and found out I had silent reflux. It was making my voice very edgy and I'd lost several notes in the top of my range. Two months of meds have cleared up the problem so I'm hoping for 100% come back eventually. BTW, I've got a few more tricks up my sleeve for this little competition also, so... bring it on!

Rob Hold it, are you telling me there is a pill to sound that good? BTW...my work with the VL3X has yielded yet another way to connect it to your DAW for recording (and playback) that's much better than the USB Audio feature we discussed in the other post. Simple, effective, and fabulous sounding stereo harmonies still with the ability to read the key and chords of the BIAB audio without the need for MIDI input. Cool stuff.

Last year I think it was you posted some stuff on the beginners forum or recording and mixing forum on all the right settings and basic panning and volume sets for different instruments on a board. I dialed those into a Sonar template and called it the "Bob Buford Board." So, whenever I want to mix fast but good--your name comes up. You are a star in my house man.

As for the VL3X I feel like I've only scratched the surface. That thing is so wide and deep, it's got a learning curve a mile high. But it gives you so many ideas for songs it's scary.

When you get going on the VL3 feel free to contact me if you have any setup questions. I think I have the recording setup down now after playing with it nearly every day for a month. It seems really intimidating because of all the hookup options and the thousands (literally)of presets. But, actually once you dig into it you find you don't need to know it inside and out to get some good results. Kinda like BIAB. I can't save you a lot of time if you want help. Let me know.
