I listened to this one a few days ago. Listening again now that I have the notes as a reference Excellent song! Janice and Peter are both perfect as per usual! Bud, a quick question if you don't mind! I've used that BluesRock128 realdrum set many times. How did you double the kick and the snare?

Bud, a quick question if you don't mind! I've used that BluesRock128 realdrum set many times. How did you double the kick and the snare? Thanks Dave. Glad it worked for you. I use two methods to double the snare and kick. The first and easiest is to triple the tracks and then isolate via eq the snare and kick on two of them. I tried this on my earlier mixes of this song but didn’t like the result. The second method (used on this mix) is far and away the best but is tedious until you get used to it. Hidden in the BIaB RD folders are audio tracks of each RD and at the end of the the audio file are the sounds for each component of the kit used for the specific RD. I then cut the snare and kick from the audio file and line them up in the DAW with the full kit snare and kick on separate tracks for individual processing. I’ve done this quite a number of times and for a 3-4 minute tune it takes about 30 minutes. I align the hit and then duplicate it several times and then copy and paste it to the end of the song. If the realdrums were perfect it could be done very quickly but in my experience about 30% of the hits are not dead on the beat and the double has to be ever so slightly aligned or you will hear the difference. Anyhow I think it’s worth the effort particularly for the snare. I sometimes double a cymbal crash for the outro. I recall floyd originally suggesting a similar method. Bud

J&B,P&L, Everything sounds very comfortable here... loose in a tight way,like the band warming up for a gig. I could listen to Peter`s alternate lead takes all day- bet it was tough to choose. I was going to say nice simple repetition on a theme for the lyrics until you sang "traduced"... scurrying off to the dictionary for that one! I`m always struck by how little processing there seems to be on Janice`s vocal tracks & since that`s not the fashion now, wonder if you learnt what works from the simpler bluegrass band days and still aim for that sound with all the vocal bells available now on the DAW.

Thanks for the info on doubling the kick and snare, Bud!
And now you mention it I do recall someone else talking about doing it like that before, might have been Floyd. And I remember thinking, "man, I've got to try that on my next song", but being old I promptly forgot all about it :P

Wow! Now this was blue! I would say that was blue you two but there was three, so I guess I'll sound sounds blue to me you three.
Is it blue enough?
That is one of those great eternal questions. Most of them cannot be repeated here on this here forum on a Sunday.
However, when you hear a woman sing THIS blue, it almost always makes you want you to hear her get more blue, as it is with most good things, so I guess I would have to say, honey, it is BLUE but not blue ENOUGH in the sense that you have me wanting MORE blue, and then some more, and then some more after that.
And ain't that what it's all about???
I better stop now.

What a tune! This is a great piece of music right here. It has a strong mood, and wonderful groove, and the vocal delivery is on point. Within about 5 seconds it had my foot tapping. Honestly, there isn't a thing I'd change on this one. Great work, and thanks so much for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

Great effort by everyone involved!! I always notice how well the vocal is captured in your recordings (Another great one by Janice). Bud, you made great choices picking the wonderfully played parts by Peter! Nice bluesy vibe going on here! Thanks, Torrey

Robert Loose in a tight way is a very accurate description of the sound that we seek. It’s gratifying that you feel we achieved it. Yeah, traduced sent us to the dictionary also. I kept thinking of transducer Your comments about the vocal processing are spot on. Yes, the processing is very similar to our analog recording in the bluegrass day. I use virtually the same eq, compression and reverb settings. And very little of them. I do add a little tape saturation, again, to simulate the analog days. Sometimes if the song is more rock oriented I add a little delay. And that’s it, we don’t own melodyne or any of the more aggressive processors. Thanks for mentioning that! Bud

Leon, Peter, Janice & Bud,
A stellar piece! Great write and melody. Janice again breathes life into a song like no one else... Another great, great performance.
Bud, the production on this one is really exceptional. The separation and placement of each musical component is perfect - the lines are so crisp and clean with a "live" feel... You really outdid yourself.
Great job all!
Bob

Everyone involved with this just raised the blues bar again. Janice's voice is so danged good and when she gets great material like this to work with ... well, you know it's gonna be better than great. And this is!
Shuffle blues of any kind is such a sweet sound and this one is a perfect example of why. loved it! Tip of the hat to everyone!

Super vocal Janice. Just love this style of blues.
Backtrack was so cool. The walking bass line wow!!. The mix so good. blend so nice but ever instrument identifiable. Well done..

Backtrack was so cool. The walking bass line wow!!. The mix so good. blend so nice but ever instrument identifiable. Well done.. Thanks Scott, yep, Peter put a lot of soulful playing into this one. Glad you liked the mix and the bass. I tried a lot of Bass RT’s before settling on that one.

Janice was the perfect choice to pose the question. Her soulfully bluesy vocal drips with emotion. Good lyrics and guitar work. The mix is impeccable from start to finish. Each collaborator did his/her part to perfection. Great job! Tom

As always, everything is well done! Your mixes and arrangements are always uncluttered and natural. They stay out of the way and let the vocal shine. Not a lot of flash, just solid playing backing an excellent singer. It sounds like all you did was turn on a microphone and capture an amazing performance. Which, of course, it was.

Everyone involved with this just raised the blues bar again. Janice's voice is so danged good and when she gets great material like this to work with ... well, you know it's gonna be better than great. And this is!
Shuffle blues of any kind is such a sweet sound and this one is a perfect example of why. loved it! Tip of the hat to everyone!
Alan Thanks Alan - hope things are settling down. Peter

What a great collaboration!
How you can all work together so seamlessly is a mystery to me. A real old time world weary feel topped off by a laconic blue Janice.
Cheers. Thanks Rich. Peter

Hello, Janice & Bud, Peter & Leon
It's a super collaboration between the two songwriter teams Janice displays her true worth in this tune. Bluesy, really bluesy! Peter's genius guitar support is wonderful. Neutron effect is also satisfactorily demonstrated everywhere. I think that it is very well mixed. All are really comfortable! Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

With Janice singing and Peter playing guitar, could you possibly go wrong?? NO!!!! Really cool bluesy vibe. Love Peter's guitar tone on this- sounds just like the solo on Chained Lightening off Katy Lied! This is one classy and sweet production!! Take care. Greg
