Howdee, The BIAB backing track came from the far east somewhere. The guitar from California. I played it. The vocal, well...if you can call it that...lol came from Texas The lyrics were just off the top of my head. If you want them you will need to copy them off the recording. Playing with some new toys. Mix needs work from who knows how...lol Anyway https://soundcloud.com/user-816849740/kind-hearted-woman-v4?si=96149dc5b01b460697450ff43fa641a0Billy

COOL vocal...possibly a little loud in this mix.
Your guitar needs to be louder in the intro to fill the space and take away ficus on the bass which seems to lead in that part.
The lead toe is good for the song and against your voice.
Both have a grainy texture.
I'd be inclined to raise the snare level with some EQ just so it snaps little bit.
I liked the interjection at 3.50...sounded right.
COOL.

Thanks, Rayc,
I agree with all you said. I got 600 BIAB backing tracks from The Guitar Band dot Com. Giancarlo Griscenko
Band in a box backing track
in Chiang Mai, Thailand
There are no stems so I don't have the normal sort of control I would if I did everything myself. Just messing around to see if any of this would work out of the box.
I can load the MP3 into BB and use the Audio Chord Wizard to do some stuff. As with any consolidated track, there is limited control.
Normally I don't try to go back and fix things very much but in this case, I think I will try. I can reduce the vocal volume easily and bring up the guitar. I perhaps will start the backing track a little later because it does not really sound very good for the intro.
This was a one-take deal, sort of how I would be forced to play it live if I had never listened to it before.
I am still having issues forming words and working with a speech therapist after the cancer surgery.
Anyway, it is great to be alive no matter what I sound like.
I have always liked Big Joe Turner who had this booming voice who really hardly need a microphone in a smaller club. He was a very nice guy who always treated me like family. I wish I could sing like him.
I told the surgeon I wanted a Sam Cook voice to go along with all the cutting my throat up but I guess they were out of stock on that...lol
Cheers,
Billy

Hello Billy,
I had a look at that site ...lots of stuff and lots of help too. They do say there're SGUs for the songs but I couldn't work out where and for which. Given the circumstances your planned tweaking seems like the way to go.

I also have not found the .sug. I think Jim knows some stuff about this guy. As I go to youtube and explore more of his stuff it has given me a new perspective on the possible use of BIAB for live backing tracks.
He has a ton of info so it will take some time to sort through it.
Bob Notes could chime in on all this as I think he uses BIAB a lot in his live performances.
I have not posted a lot here on the forum because almost everything I do is with other musicians live or in the studio. I have always figured this was a BIAB forum and I need to use the program to post here.
Perhaps I will post one of our better blues recordings that was done in a studio. The trouble is I don't control the entire copyright and legally I would have to get everyone's permission. Not so easy to do at this late date.

Good old blues, like that classic walkdown on the turnaround. Vox are fine but too loud, guess you already know that. Good work!

Hi Billy,
This is a terrific song - loved it.
I think Ray is on the money - a few edits in your DAW and you will have a real winner on your hands.
Wonderful vocals.
Best Regards

I enjoyed listening to this! They can cut off your gas and electricity, but they can't take away your blues! @ 3:50: Talking to me?

Thanks, guys for all the kind words. I was off creating a cover song in BIAB based on what I learned from this guy.
I will take the time to fix this tonight.
I got too many toys setting here...lol a Piano, a Resofonic guitar, acoustic, electric, and a Mandolin. I have had them all in my hand in the last two hours...lol
One thing about getting old, the wife goes to sleep early and I get to stay up all night and get up at the crack of noon...lol Well..there is that honey doo list!

NUMBER FIVE IS ALIVE!
Needs to be, generally, a little louder.
This is a very tidy mix but it's VERY POLITE compared to the original. I think you can afford to be a little aggressive with it.
Sneak in a cover...rename it so the snooper program doesn't snag it straight away.

fj Thank you, Floyd. I really appreciate your feedback. You do such wonderful professional music your comments are truly meaningful to me. My life is so complex at the moment I am not qualified to analyze much of anything. Health, business, ambivalence about what country I want to live in. I do have a wonderful wife which I can not say enough good things about. I guess I just think I am still twenty years old and can leap over small buildings in a single bound...lol The superman cape is getting a little worn...lol Cheers, Billy

Billy,
Glad to see you posting. Fun ride! Have not checked prior versions, V4 sounds good to me. Nice guitars and yes, vocals. Good "live" feel to it. Thank you for sharing.
P.S. Thank you for mentioning that guitar site, will check it out.
Misha.

Man, this is so reminiscent of all the great early blues. Your voice is perfect for this, Billy. This sounds so good to me. Your guitar playing is outstanding. Great feel and taste and tone.

Thanks, Marty.
I never exactly know what people will think about songs of this nature.
The vocal is rough, raw, and to some extent non-musical.
The guitar playing is very simplistic and had a few missed notes. I could have gone back and corrected that but the idea was to do something that had a live feel.
LOL, playing live your mistakes only last for a few moments. Recordings will follow you around forever...lol
Thanks again,
Billy
