Thanks, tommmyad.
That's it. I'm just going to have to invest in some sort of decent monitor system. Too much guesswork getting the mix right without one. On some systems, I think the bass and drums are anemic, on others I think they overpower the vocal. There's a sweet spot, I KNOW there is!

I agree with Floyd and Tommy that you can do almost all the mixing you need on a set of headphones that you "understand"...it's what you're comfortable with and what gives you a great sound on any ambient system. That said, if you're gonna buy a good set of monitors get powered monitors with the amp built in like the Mackie HR824MK2 or the studio standard Yamaha HS8 Powered Studio Monitor. WHATEVER you do, don't get cheap monitors.

Really, really nice!! Welcome to the forum! This is a sweet, catchy tune, and I think you captured it just right with the arrangement. Particularly love these lyrics (among many very good ones):
A coffee house full of hippies and hikers And a barbeque joint with a table full of bikers And a cowgirl swingin' on through pulls her hat rim down In her mountain town
Lot of life in those images! Looking forward to hearing more!! Take care. Greg

Hey Phil,
Welcome to the forums and congrats on your first song posting. This song gets better every time I listen to it. Love the lyrics, the production, vocals, harmonies, and the overall feel of the song. Looking forward to hearing a lot more from you. So glad you decided to give BIAB a try. There's nothing like it.
Best Wishes, Bob
I agree with Bob across the board. I jumped over hear to listen to your posts after catching your latest contribution "I'm Alive". I'm really enjoying your work and will be listening to all of them throughout the day. Good stuff.

Thanks, Charlie...
What to do next?
I have a back catalog that's mostly me, my mediocre guitar, and programmed midi drums I need to replace with BIAB tracks. Which is why I bought BIAB in the first place. I'll be doing that over the next several months.
On the other hand, I wrote and produced two NEW songs in two weeks that I wasn't expecting. I guess that's not a bad thing.

<< "What to do next?" >>
Review that backlog of songs and find one you can update and tweak it a bit and enter Samuel Davis's Modern Song Challenge featured in another thread here on the forum.
Have fun with your songs and BIAB and share them with us.
