I was reading through & taking notes for future reference Noel & began thinking about your comment I popped up in quotes:
Originally it was "Just coffee & memories" and I was a little uncomfortable about the coffee references being Australian but then, I justified it with the amount of coffee and related culture that has a strangle on the nation. Tony, the singer did a draft vocal & added to the line "Just coffee & some memories". It was clear that the extra syllable was needed so I countered with "old" which he sang for a bit to get his head around it & he turned out to be more than happy with the compromise. The line that worked for, & hooked, you almost wasn't what it is. Serendipitousness and compromise win again. Thanks for prompting me to remember and value to input of my collaborator.

This would fit in perfectly with some of the classic rock playlists we listen to. Great a bit of a Cream vibe on the intro.
We enjoyed the backstory...thanks for taking the time to share that.
Great write, performances, and the production sounds huge on the monitors. Excellent mix.
Kudos!

J&B,
Thank you, thank you. Most of the BIGNESS is multi tracked Fender Squire Mustang into a Marshall Superbass converted to Superlead. Each track double mic'd. I'm constantly amazed at how well the RealDrums come through in mixes. This stereo drum track has a tiny bit of ReaComp Master Bus Glue compression, a smidge of Wide Chamber in ReaVerb, (same verb & settings for any instance in the mix), and just a little tinkering with ReaEQ to reduce the high hats I think. Oh, special secret ingredient - SPS Vintage Warmer 2 - the free version - set to light driven tape.


Thanks for the additional info on the production. Every time I get close to exploring RD alternatives I hear something like this and am encouraged to continue working with them. I've managed to approximate what I want with Neutron 2. Thanks again for the time to mention all of the above.

Bud
