Hello Nigel
Sounds fantastic
Hard to believe that you can do something like that on the computer
But no computer program in the world can do your vocals that well.
Really great, Nigel
Thanks for sharing
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Nigel,

That is a slick sound! Those horns sound fantastic! They seem to be a real big step up from what was available before!

Great vocal on a wonderful swinging sound!

Thanks, Torrey

Sounds great, Nigel, love everything about this! I assume with the horns you had to do a lot of chopping and cutting so they didn't jump all over your vocal. At least that's my experience with past BIAB horn sections. Again, the whole package was brilliant!

Great production, and fun song. As others said, the horns shine.

It's always fun to listen to your vocals - you really know how to deliver a line! laugh

Minor nit - there were a few points the horns sounded a bit chopped - 0:14, 0:42, 2:42 - but the first is the only one that really stands out - the others are on drum hits. It could be just me.

Great work, as usual!

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

Slick sound! Those horns sound great.

I hear what David is talking about at 0:14, an artifact of some sort. Should be able to isolate and fix in your DAW I would think. Didn't hear the other ones he mentioned.

Love your vocal!

There is a blues band here that has been around forever called the Downchild Blues Band, not sure if you know them where you are. Your vocal reminds me of their original singer, Hock Walsh.

Good one, Nigel, enjoyed!

Excellent and impressive work editing the horns and the overall band.

Enjoyed the song, and the vocal, strong stuff.

Nice to hear what some of the new RT's are capable of.

Hi David,

Thanks for pointing them out - the one at 0:14 seconds was particularly annoying. I could'nt find the ones at 0:42 nor 2:42 but did find and remove one at 2:47.
I've reposted the corrected version on SoundCloud.

Thanks Again.

Best Regards
Nigel

What a great band, the drum intro really grabs attention and the horns are excellent. I really enjoyed the vocals too. Great demonstration of what BIAB is capable.

Nigel,

Nice throwback song—while jazz, it definitely has a big band feel to me. Lyrics work well with the tune. The sax is outstanding in this. Really solid work on this one. Very cool!

All my best,

Deej

Excellent - an exemplar for BIAB for how their horns can be used.
Good vocal too.

Very cool tune Nigel. Boy do those horns give the song a cool groove. Makes you want to get up and dance. Awesome vocal. Sax was out of the world. Well done
