The recording quality is lovely. Reverb on vocal is bright, maybe bring out mids. The bass, guitar and country style is very nice.  The vocal is in tune and good.

Phillip... much appreciated... I did understand.... I just love your flair with words. 


Manny.... yep, yep.... pretty much.  If you have any questions about it email me... 


Karalie.... I spent a few hours yesterday afternoon reworking and re mixing this tune.  It is a bit loud and bright, compared to where I really want it to be. 


Kev....thanks for the listen. glad you like the song. 

Herb, I was just perusing the dialogue here and have noticed a lot of comments in regards to the dynamics of this tune. If I may be so bold, BIAB is the culprit. I haven't used the program in a long long time but, what I remember is the frustration of trying to get some sort of musicality out of it, In that it plays the parts and it sometimes does an amazing job, but, it just doesn't have any feeling (dynamics). I mean no offense but, you need to ween off of this program. Or, at least use it for what it is, a way to flush out an arrangement and then find a way to have the parts played by human beings. I have a song circulating here (How deep is your love), and a lot of the keyboard parts were BIAB generated. I hate it. I tweaked and tweaked with envelopes trying to get some velocity and dynamics but could only get so far. It just fills the space and that's it. 

That said, and this is the curse of BIAB, I love hearing that steel playing, and it seems to fit really nice but, it's Band in a Box. Anyone can tell.


And, this won't make any sense but, I would love to get my hands on the new version with audio so I can have a pedal steel:)
Anyway, I don't mean to get down on it all but that's my feeling about BIAB.

"I mean no offense but, you need to ween off of this program." He said ween.

In the OP I stated that this song was not finished, it was a rough draft, a work in progress, and that I planned to record some of the tracks again. As such, I did not take the time to fine tune the tracks, the levels, the EQ, the compression and other things I use in the big picture. Many of the instrument tracks were set high, and left to play at that level. Even the envelopes were set high. EQ was not finalized by any means, and I had a couple of Boost11's in various tracks that I was playing around with and left them in when I exported the version you have all heard. The wave form isn't a brick but closer to it than most of my music due to the compression. That has already been fixed as has the EQ issues..... but you will have to wait to hear the final version, the finished version, and that may be several weeks away, depending on our singer's schedule. This new version does have dynamics in it, you can see it in the wave, and you can hear it in the music and the RB tracks are still there. 

I understand that some people here don't like BB, and that's fine.... to each his own. Some do, some don't, and the commentary reflects that. I appreciate the opinions of each and every person who took the time to listen and respond positively or negatively to the song. 
BTW: It is on TAXI and the comments are about the song (writing aspects) and the levels. Not BB. 

As far as BiaB being the culpret or source of the high levels and EQ.... come on  people.. do you really believe that? Same thing with dynamics?  No... the issues come from the fact that this is not a finished song. 



During this conversation, over the past few days, I have been remixing, reworking, and tweeking the tracks.  Dialing it in, so to speak. Getting ready for the recording session with our vocalist so that when she records the vox track, and it's right, the work is basically done. 


Be patient....
