well that was meaty !
Great seeing you again Gruve! great live feel and excellent dynamics! I especially like what you did with the guitar solo.. was that Amplitube?
I also like the break... the song flows from part to part seamlessly (one of your many strengths) and of course your vocals are always the main course when you serve up a tasty selection of sound for us to sample!

Hi, Lawrence!
Great to see ya back!
Great opening on this - the acoustics sounds great... drums, too...
Very tasty mix! The organ is so very effective! Nice "touches" all over the place - especially how you used the electrics. Nice job on the solo, too - getting the PopPromiseBrent to sound "fresh" (after using it a number of times in other things) takes some doing...
Great vocal - goes without saying, of course...
Awesome - top to bottom.
(I hope you will "share" a few tricks that you might have learned...)

Dang! That is a GREAT production and arrangement. It sounds tremendous on our monitors. Nice soundstage and the balance is amazing. Everything is sitting right, nothing is stepping on another and your vocal is just nailed in the delivery and it's place in the mix. I have to join in with Pat and asked how you processed the guitar solo? It is perfect for the song.

PS We loved the reggae version and really liked the write. But you've taken it to a new place with this. It sits very comfortably in either spot!

I really like this production. Kinda has a Hootie and the Blowfish vibe going which I have always loved. Great Job.

Hello Pat. Great to post again. Glad to hear its got a live feel to it. The solo guitar was run through my go to plug-in Guitar Rig 5. Just messing around with that baby is always a thrill. Good hear from you and glad you liked it.

floyd Hello Floyd. Good to be back. As I told Pat on the solo I used Guitar Rig 5. I find that it has so many useful presets and I'm beginning to use its bass rig more and more. Glad you liked the mix. I've mostly been digging deeper into concepts of processing that I knew only in passing, like transients, and getting to know the FX I already have between Sonar's preloaded Fx and Izotope's. Man Izotope rocks! I just noticed they are up to ver. 7. I'm still on ver.5. But one of the concepts I've very recently been learning about and applying is Mid-Side processing. Wow! What a difference that can make to an overall mix! What are some of your tricks with mid-side processing? Thanks again.

I remember this one!! Really liked the reggae one but I think I like this one better! Your vocals always kick a$$, and your mixes always have life and energy. Guitar solo is a great fit. Great job on this!! Take care. WELCOME BACK! Greg

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
