Nigel,

Yeah, this one is pretty cool. Love that drum—the snare really resonates; drives the tune forward. Terrific vocal as well. Easy to imagine sitting in a smoky blues bar listening to this played live. The place would be jumping! Great work!

All my best to you,

Deej

Hi Dewey,

Thanks for your comments - as with all my songs I render around 7 takes of each of the solo instruments and then cut in paste in my Daw (Reaper). Obviously very time consuming but worthwhile.

Best Regards
Nigel

A fun listen, fun lyrics and great execution of vocals. A good showcase of using Band in a Box backing tracks.

Nigel, this is professional all the way

Super groove, had my foot tapping from the git-go

Outstanding vocal and lyrics

Excellent use of the blues harp.

Loved it

PS - I would not post the Realtrack musician's names as those without BiaB would think that those musicians actually in the room recording with you.


Inflation is so bad that CEOs are now playing miniature golf!

Hi Hans,

Thanks for all your very generous comments.

Drums - I think the Real Drums (BluesRockShuffle^2) are already quite bright and upfront. I mixed the drums quite loud and gave them a short medium sized room reverb (not a long large room or hall reverb) with a saturation of 14%. I then had to roll off a little of the highs because the drums were jumping out of the mix.

Mix - I try and make all the instruments and vocals sound like they are recorded in the same room at the same time.

Best Regards
Nigel

Nigel,

This track is smokin'! Pro quality mix not to mention exceptionally good harp and guitar! Your vocals are the icing on the cake! Everything sounds like it's sitting where it should be! Thanks, Torrey
