Trax, great! Mixing, mastering, singing, instruments, everything. Sounds radio ready to me. Is that an original song?

Hi Trax,

This work is excellent on every level. Your singing is sensational and the mix is exceptionally good. All in all, a great sense of arrangement shines throughout. I've just been listening to Bono and The Corrs sing this song live and, I've got to say, I like your version a whole heap more.

All the best,
Noel

Sounds good to me Trax... very Eagles-esque!

and your voice is somewhat reminiscent of Neil Young's

Oh Trax, this is too good. I just love it, love it, love it! Got that emotion in the vocal and the arrangement rocks. I really liked how you changed it up some on your vocal phrasing with the straight "blue" and "blu oo oo oo..." soooo nice.
Great mix too.

Eddie you have another winner in your book with this tune. I also must admit this is the first time I have ever heard it, but happy I did.

Great work! Music, lyrics, and vocal are all great. The vocal leans towards Clint Black a bit, to me- which you should take as a compliment! Nice job!

what I especially like about this song is the way you used recurring patterns to create a "signature" for the song. The randomly generated patterns in BIAB generally prevent that from happening, so you have to find a way to force it.

So, I'm curious to know if you played the recurring signature guitar riff, or if you cut and pasted a section that you liked.

Most of the songs that stick in my head have a highly recognizeable and recurring signature pattern. Lack of one is often a tipoff that the song was generated with BIAB.

I love u2's version it's a great song.

My only nit would be that the guitars sound too midi like for my liking, sounds too rubber bandy. you should be able to find a better midi guitar sound than that, that actually sounds like microsofts basic midi font. It takes away from the rest of it in my opinion.

If you have to use a midi part I would use midi piano for the riff.

You probably need a better midi sound module

You could use some harmonies on the "where do you go when you're lonely" part.

Nice job on this, good performances.

Trax,

I echo Pat's comment. Your voice is like a hybrid of Joe Walsh & Neil Young. I am not aware of the original track but your remake is very palatable to the ears!

The signature guitar riff- I recorded that with my keyboard using the clean guitar midi patch. All of the other tracks are Real Tracks and Drums. I laid out the chords in Biab and saved the file. Opened in RB and added the RT's & Drums. I believe the guitars were A. Guitar-fingerpick, E. Guitar-Dreamy & E. Guitar Dire.

I sang the "Blue-Oh o Oh" part and used TC Helicon for 1up 1dn and pasted the harms in. Then I sang the lead vocal.

Thanks for the kind remarks and listening to the song, I appreciate it.

Trax
