The song was written without lyrics by my guitar playing in my former apartment, when my friend Šárka Janoušková (today Procházková) was with me who later sang this song. In the course of its development, the song moved into a rock form due to a friend Karel Hoza. Later, when I endowed the song with lyrics, it moved into form under the midrange of my friend Jarda Teska. With this midi arrangement Šárka sang in the studio of Jarda around 2000. And the song fell into oblivion and Sarka no longer lives in Prague. So when I bought the RX7 application from iZotope, I separated the Šárka singing through the Music Rebalance function, which was to a certain extent worse than when I tried other songs. with RealBand, I created new tracks for a new arrangement. He exported these tracks and imported them into Studio One. He did mix and mastering and here's the result. I will try to arrange the re-sung with Sarka again, as there are remnants of the original midi accompaniment in this recording with singing.

A really lively number, it has good form, and the resurrection has been well done.

Quality vocals, and the original vocals sit OK in the mix.

The level is a bit hot, but perhaps that's intended.

Nice groove. A real toe-tapper. Great vocals.
There's a noticeable fade around 1.06 that doesn't sound as natural as the rest of the track.

At 1:06 of the track, crossing is the 1st and 2nd refren. The song begins with the 1st refrain.

Cool!

It would be great if you could get the vocals re-done!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

So I use too many tools to just make a mistake:

it is not:

RealChart from RealTrack RC1264 Electric Guitar, Soloist CountryShuffleBrent Sw 120 (Bluesy)

is right:

RealChart from RealTrack RC1264 Piano, Rhythm PopShiningA-B Ev 120

which is quite heard there - I'm sorry.

RX7 - expensive tools.
The vocals sound as they're in a different room to the music - the backing vocals emphasize this too.
You could try throwing a reverb across the whole mix that is close to the effect the vocal seems to sit in - it would sound quite 60s as well as suitably spacey.
Very energetic song, melody & mix.


Cheers

Nice work on this one - love the energy behind it, and it is really good usage of those RealTracks. Loved the groove too - got my toe tapping almost instantly.

Thanks for sharing smile

Wow - do I love this one. Great toe-tapping rhythm, like the singing, and that mad sax is just terrific.

Very well done.

I really like this one...
The "remnants of the original accompaniment can be heard from the singing" actually adds to the interestingness of the piece...
Its really pretty cool sounding!

Hi Gause,

Wow! This song has been on quite a journey!

You did a good job with RX7 and Realband. It's very inventive. While electronics don't do everything perfectly yet, they add a whole heap of possibilities to so many things.

I enjoyed the journey.... my feet are still tapping!

Noel

Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
