I am a professional musician, making a very comfortable living, and, in my opinion, you have done a very good job with this song.

You obviously have some highly polished production and writing chops. Please post more.

Very, very nice, Wiz.

Just to show you how old I am, I thought it was going to be the Three Dog Night song.

Wiz, I really like the clean style you have. This is where I see less is more (compliment).
Well done

Almost missed this one, Wiz - terrific mix and you have one of those "pro voices" - intensity, feeling without straining. A very full yet sparse instrumentation mix. How did you do that effectively? Is the secret in the percussion/bass section. I'm asking because there's a lot that my ears won't decipher anymore listening to productions.
Two things - if you don't mind - a list of all the instruments used and the verb unit used.
Good one.

Like Ian I almost missed this one but I am sure happy I didn't. IMHO this is top shelf in every aspect, from lyric (is this an original?) to the arrangement, production and of course your performance (both vocal and guitar) was 5 stars.

Edited portion: I just realized this is a U2 tune. But I still stand by my assessment above.

thanks again to everyone for all the feedback...its cool....sometimes we operate in a vacumn...8).

I love talking about gear and mixing and stuff...8)...so glad someone asked....

I work really hard on space...and making things as simple as I can, ironically, its really quite involved to make things work, without much going on...8)

Anyways

The acoustic guitar is a maton messiah, miced with a Mojave MA100 tube microphone.

The vocal is mic'd with a Mojave MA200 tube microphone

The tremelo guitar is my Fender Strat, into a Fender princeton, miced with a Shure SM57.

The guitar riff, is my epiphone les paul gold top, running into Amplitube Fender.

Drums and Bass are Real tracks from BIAB 2010.

I use UAD-1 plug ins, which on this track include 1176LN,LA2A, 33609 compressors and Neve 1081/1073 and pulteq EQ's.

The reverb on the vocal is a Plate 140 reverb from UAD.

The acoustic guitar, tremelo guitar and drums and vocals, have a convolution reverb across them, which has a room simulation on it.

The delay on the vocal in the chorus, is from Sonitus and comes in Sonar Producer 8..which I use.

There is extensive volume automation going on across every track...level riding....a bit up here, a bit down there.....light and shade.

So there are only drums, bass, acoustic guitar, vocal, tremelo guitar, and riff guitar in this song.


There has been a bit of editing of the real bass track, to simplify it and get it to work in context (taking a piece from one verse and using it here and there, that kind of thing). The bass and drums, have been adjusted timing wise...(quantized if you like) a bit from what BIAB generated, again ...just to gel everything together...its suprising how the little things add up...


anyways hope someone found that interesting...8)...


cheers everyone

Pure excellence in every regard Wiz.

Hey Wiz,
That is an excellent rendition of the song. I have a buddy whom I've been writing with for years. He's a hellava lyricist. I generally take care of the arranging and production end, along with the music. So , when I listen to a song, I gravitate to the background voices (not vocals) and arrangement. I really enjoyed how it was produced. It has a touch of professionalism. Sooo..., please help me as I am new to BIAB. (3 1/2 weeks) At this point, I've laid down the music portion for one of our originals using realtracks. Now, how the heck are you recording the vocal? (Great voice by the way) I'm going to be using a TASCAM US-144MKII. I am having tbl trying to figure it out. Yes, I did read the manual. I get confused regarding all of the settings, etc. Thanks for any input from you or Silvertones, or anybody in this regard.

Hi All,
I actually prefer this version to that of U2's, the vocal too. A real nice job Wiz, and the guitars sound ace.
I'm still finding my way around Sonar, great package though.

I love the reverb on your vocal. Really nice. Great work on this. I actually like this production better than the original. Nice and simple. Great work.
