When I posted the first I didn't have time to write what I wanted as the wife was waiting on me to go out. I have 175 and counting just like it. They are mixed mono and for live not so much so sitting down and listening. I rough things out in BIAB and then do the rest in RB. They are all RTs except: 1. the vocals of course 2. I play bass 3. I've EG'd the Real Drums to cut out the kick and then I've added my own kick to work better with the bass. I have a post in the tips forum on this. I left the countin 'cause these again are for live. I really do appreciate the comments good or bad. At sixty my ego is certainly gone so I can take it. Silvertones Tunes

Hi John,
I've just had an exceptionally enjoyable 10 minutes listening to your latest three songs. You've sure got a great sound happening. While I liked all your songs, my favorite is "The Fireman". I've never heard this one before. You sing it like you really enjoy this song.
Great stuff!
Noel

Very nice work John, sounds like they would work great for live shows. Cool.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Make your sound your own!

You are having fun and it shows. Excellent mixes here. The backing tracks are perfect for your voice.
Always on My Mind is one of my favorite songs and you did one fantastic job on it. Fireman is a new one to me but it sounded great as did Be My Baby.
To really nit-pick again Be My Baby need the harmonies and the second vocal part IMHO. However as you initially stated these are your backing tracks for you live shows and for that everything is perfect. Have you ever considered putting a couple of these in RB again, putting the instruments in a stereo field and adding harmonies? Just a thought. BUT even if you don’t these are still going into my keeper folder.
GREAT music and a super vox. Two thumbs up on each one.
I arrived early to a restaurant.
The manager asks, "do you mind waiting a bit?"
I said no.
"Good", he said. "Take these drinks to table 3"

Mario & others thanks.
Yes absolutely harmonies are needed. I used to use a Vocalist to do that. I am considering just signing in the parts for live. Not sure yet. I'm also thinking about finding the right person that sins and plays to do a duo. The most important thing though is to move back somewhere were there more opportunities.

Agree 100% - you've made some excellent backing tracks. Clean great sounding mixes. Super job using the rts John - you put a lot of work into those and it definately shows. Well done.

Nothing to pick on here, great job. All I'd ask is you give us some kind of idea regarding the styles and realtracks you used.
Good stuff!

John,
Thanks for the background on these tunes. The information you provided is very helpful as like many I save info like this just in case I am looking for a particular sound/style down the road.
PS: Like the rest I was particular impressed with your rendition of George Strait's The Fireman.
Thanks again,
|

It´s amazing what BIAB can do to ones songs, it sounded like a studio-recording, at least in my ears.
I really liked "Don´t close your eyes" but "Fireman" was a good one too. The other two weren´t as good, but that just my opinion.
And thanks for providing info about the backgrounds to your recordings, it helps newbies like me...
Keep up...!

Hi John,
I can't get to your songs. It sez "connection reset". I'm running xp sp3, firefox with high security. Any Ideas about what I need to do?
Thanks
Jim
I'd be completely happy if I had just one more guitar.

Hey Jim
I just tried the link and it's fine. I only have dialup and it still loaded.
You probably have too much security crap running.

Okay,
Hold on folks, here comes a dummies question. Is there a way to post my music on the forum if I don't have a website? Can I just download an MP3 or something?
