Here's a new mix of a song a wrote over a year ago. I added a new guitar track which I played of my strat and I did a lot of mixing and added some new effects. All real tracks - KEBMO Style-Crossover- with 382 Slide guitar , 379 Bass, Real Drums POP16, snare- ride, 378 Acoustic guitar, and 381 Electric rhythm guitar. I did a lot of volume editing to get the feel of a band playing off of each other. Here's the link. http://sclk.co/s7e1p5 Arrow in My Heart As I am walking down the streets of your city All the faces turn away from me, they turn away in pity 'Cause they see this empty shell of a man whose soul is empty And he seems to have a problem with every breath he is attempting Oh and, Baby, I feel so down Ever since, since you are not around Oh,oh, Nothing seems to be the same And I'm feeling all this pain Feels like. Like an Arrow in my Heart Where everything has been torn apart Like an Arrow in my Heart And I'm falling , falling down And I'm writhing, writhing on the ground With an Arrow in my Heart oh,oh oh oh oh You made your point, but you know I must defend Myself, don't want to go over this and over this again It's two o'clock and we are getting to the part I really dread How can I sleep when you keep on talk talk talking in my head And, Baby, I feel so down Ever since, since you are not around Oh,oh, Nothing seems to be the same And I'm feeling all this pain Feels like. Like an Arrow in my Heart Where everything has been torn apart Like an Arrow in my Heart And I'm falling , falling down And I'm writhing, writhing on the ground With an Arrow in my Heart oh,oh oh oh oh Like an Arrow in my Heart Like an Arrow in my Heart Pete Gallatin 2013

Interesting title and metaphor! The song has a lot of passion and intensity. The vocal control could be better. Enjoyable listen! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg, Thanks for taking time to listen and I'm happy the song caught your interest. It was a departure from the more structured kind of song I normally write. I had thought about redoing the vocal but decided to leave it as is, I hear it as an edgy alt rock song with a kind of less than perfect singer anyway, if ya know what I mean. Greetings to Davis, go Cal State!--Pete

A good energy to that, Pete. Has a "live garage band" sound to it. A definite alt-rock/americana sound. I particularly like the drum sound you got...
I enjoyed the listen.

HI David! I'm happy you like my song. I'm very familiar with NSAI so I know you have a strong knowledge of songwriting and the music industry. I was a member of the LA and Orange County Chapters for several years before I moved to Portland and have been thinking of checking out the Portland group. I also did the Song Camp and visited the HQ in Nashville. I haven't seen Fred or Carrie, but I've been to the feminist bookstore and have met the two musician gals that were featured on some of those episodes. Strangely and don't hold it against me , but what spurred me to write this was seeing Justin Beaver on the old Tonight Show. It was the rhythm of his lyric and how it wrapped around the music. If you listen to just the acoustic guitar in the KEBMO style it has that New Jack Swing that pushes the song into that alt-rock style. Well I'm going on - so thanks David and nice to meet you here at BIAB.

Thanks Floyd, Yeah that was exactly the musical category I was aiming for. What I'm mulling over now is whether this is worth pursuing in my two man (both over 70) guitar duo?
The Drums - one thing I love about BIAB is having the separate tracks come in to Digital Performer - and the Real Drums are great - and then being able to use the extensive effects - compression - limiter - room ambient reverb - at the individual track level as well as the Master Mix level. DP's Spatial Maximizer is a great new addition. I'm still trying to learn how a little spice goes a long way in the soup and not overload the mix. In the stereo spread I keep the drums, bass and lead vocal in or near the center. Always interested how others do their mix.
Thanks again, Pete
