I know a little - Forum Colab

I kicked that bass in the arse a bit? Let me know if you think it's too much. I mixed it a bunch before I posted it.

(I've already remixed it twice since then?) Pulled some ass out of the EQ and backed the bass off to where I thought was better?  It's as good as "I can get it" However, my skills are still growing in this department... I look to others for input. 

I think the performances make this piece :-) Grant did a kick ass job on the guitars/bass and drums? I had a few moments with the slide? And a few that could be better, but it was as good as I could get it? And the vox weren't bad? :-) I REALLY enjoyed being able to play the keys? I would seriously enjoy being able to play with Alicia's Keys even more...

All in all, I still think it rocks pretty hard :-D And this is one of my all time favorites! Thanks Grant for the opportunity to participate!!

I may yank a little more ass out of this (bass) and in the EQ (a little..) And may push the piano just a tiny bit more. But I'm going to bed for now.

I like this a lot, guys.

Groovee.

Nice job, guys.  The performance and mix are super!  It was a good way to start the day. 

Ha - I like this a lot. Raunchy stuff (which is good) . Vocal is killer - haven’t heard you sing in this style before - it’s a very solid and convincing performance.  I can see how that picture might inspire. Love the tone on the guitar and bass and the slight imperfections get forgotten as soon as I my eyes drift off to that photo - excellent misdirection skills (no need for the pun retort - I heard it myself the second I typed this).

This vocal is all the money.

Hi Robby & Grant,

We think it rocks pretty hard :-) 

I agree! Great job gentlemen.


Great playing by both of you (hey, nice piano playing Robby!) and, of course, the usual killer vocal by Robby.


Robby, with your voice, I'm not sure how you've managed to avoid becoming a major star...you must be REALLY difficult to work with 

Now this is great!  Grant really rocks this music.  Robby, this is a GREAT vocal.  You could got to Halsted street in Chicago and play with some of those big boys.  Grant blew me away.  Robby, do you program those keys in midi or do you play that good?  Fine tune and performances, guys!

Absoflippinlutely terrific!!!  Excellent playing by both of you, your vocals are tailored perfectly for this, and the mix is right on.  You have given this number that nice little Jump Blues feel --- that is the rhythm carried it, you didn't get bogged down with all that other stuff  ;>)
Excellent  ----  tender chicken right down to the bone!!

Yes, I have to agree with you, it’s all good. I want to visit some other threads today but each time I start to click away, I find myself saying how can I leave this behind (props to Spinal Tap of course) ?  

Manny, talkin bout mud flaps, my girls got um! :-)

"Cool tune guys." Mark thanks, it was a fun one.

Robby, you must be taking voice and piano lessons both!  I have no idea how you keep up with it all AND all these great collabs!  

Nice one, guys!  I'm impressed! 

Oh God! THE TEMPTATIONS!!

Sorry but Frank made an alusion to one of my favorite movies of all time, Walk Hard "The Dewy Cox Story."

If you haven't seen it, you wouldn't understand. But it's hilarious!

I very humbly thank "the mix masters" and you know who you all are... I'm sure there are things you could comment on. I was telling Grant that this is "the very first mix" I've ever done that people haven't raised hell about! LOL! But I think you're cutting me some slack? Still? I'll take it :-) I work hard on trying to improve the mixing aspect? It is so very important and at the same time so very difficult... To do well (and this one is just OK) 

To do it consistently well requires a talent I don't yet have or comprehend. People who don't do this "have no idea" what goes in to the technical aspect. Which is why when I hear consistently good/amazing mixes from people, I just have to listen slack jawed and wonder how they do it? This one is ok? The next one? Probably not so much :-) But it's critique, and input; honest input and commentary that helps us who are learning to do better. 
Again, I think some of the masters were "generous" but also again, "I *And my colab partner Mr.  OhGrant" will take it!" :-)
  


My other colab partner, Mr. no999? Would spank the mix like a co-star in a Ron Jeremy movie...  (Shame on you for knowing who he is!)

Hey, Robby and Grant,
 
Absolutely killer job on this dynamite Skynrd cover!
 
Excellent playing on all of the instrumentation, fantastic vox, as always, and a nice clean, full sounding mix, to boot!  Really love Grant's guitar work, and the piano jam was super, too.
 
Way to go, Guys!
Bob
