The crowd is too loud, it is sort of obvious it is fake. Bring the crowd in at the beginning , end and quiet sections and it would sound more realistic.

Hey Mick,

You did a great job with the backing tracks. I'm with Kevin on the audience, they need to shut it when the verse starts, IMO They sound good, but I think you musta been recording some of my family.

Those Real Tracks are so much fun to make music with. I kept waitin for the synthophone to play a mean lead with a B3 patch. Love the Brass, wow !!

You went and done it now. I gotta crank up the Blues Band here now.

Great job with the song bro.

Terrific. Of course, I had to listen to Small Fry, There You Are (twice, my fav) and Higher Ground while I was visiting. lol There's a lot of really good music at your site, Mick. Keep up the good work.

I'd be completely happy if I had just one more guitar.

Mick,
No, the audience doesn't shut up at a club when you're playing, but a good sound man will have his levels set so when the musicians start playing, their playing is going to mute the background audience.

The next thing that strikes me is the 'thinness' of the sound. The best way I can describe this is that it sounds like some of those YouTube videos that were taken with an inexpensive video camera about 30-40' back from the stage.

Listen to the difference between this and 'Higher Ground' which is billed as 'Live.' I'm assuming that the person who did the sound mixing on this was able to balance the music properly, and get the sound you wanted.

I think the playing is wonderful, but I think there is something deathly wrong with the final mix.

My two cents

Gary


I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

Since I've never played with a soundman to control the levels I can say that when I start playing I just drown out he crowd.

Atually, the best live sounding performance I've heard was with Peter Frampton. You could always hear the audienc but the levels were cut way down, then brought back up at key times.

However, I loved this song. Sounded great to me.

Hi Mick,

Nice one!

Daft question from a newbie...

Is that all BIAB 'real tracks' or are you playing a real instrument along to it?

I guess the audience was 'real' at one time! ;-)

Frank


New to BIAB and just got hold of a 2007 Megapak... but I have been writing songs for quite awhile... most of them hits (of course..) :-)

Hi Frank,
No such thing as a daft question.
The drums were midi that I rendered through SampleTank.
The bass, guitars & organ are all RealTracks.
The horns are all played by me with the Synthophone.

Thanks for listening.

Russ!!
I sent you an email to see if you were okay.
Thanks for listening.
Glad you're still here!

That's exactly the sound I was looking for!

Higher Ground was done with everything straight into the board. No mics. No background noise. That's why it sounds so much cleaner.
