Just for fun....

I tried to make imperfect, at times a little too loud solo instrument, and not loud enough at times, the way live performances can sound (stage monitors for groups aren't perfect).

QUESTION: Your help please. If you didn't know about BIAB, how realistic would you think this is?

[Link no longer valid]

Thanks for your time.

(*I downloaded dozens of tracts/loops, but was limited in crowd applause for the end, I wanted to make it sound like a room of around 100 folks, with clapping a little cleaner. But, I could not find, or could not find without virus warnings, an applause track that was 10-20ish seconds in that range. Most were 2-5 seconds with fades, so I had to mix/overlap them.)

I played rhythm, acoustic guitar
520 Elec Bass
524 Ac Git Strum
Nashville2BeatSW8^10-Ride
1868 Resonator
1871 Fiddle
589 Banjo
2498 Ac Piano Rockabilly/Swing
I didn't keep track of which tambourine. There are 2 available in BIAB in this range and I blended them, switched them as needed.)

Hi Andy
Loved the "crowd sound" start to this. The mix sounds good to me. Very nice listen.

Thank you, Joanne. Greatly appreciate you comment. To me it sounds extremely different on different systems. I expect a little difference, but, and maybe this is common, on one system (say my PC) the instruments come off as a little up and down, just liked I experience at live shows, then on another device, the resonator, for example, jumps way in front, so darn loud. I've gone back and forth on it for so long that I probably can no longer be a true 3rd party in it.

I need to move on to other projects! smile

Nice song and good mix!! The live thing is tricky. Never tried it myself but have heard good and bad examples. This doesn't feel naturally live. I would send a PM to TommyC (Tommy Cole). He does it very well. Take care. Greg

Andy A, I'll tell you what, you got pretty close here with what you were going for. One thing that might help is to keep some kind of low level ambient noise going after the initial applause. You did a pretty good job here. Thanks, Torrey

Andy,

I enjoyed this - you have a great voice for this country style and the instruments work well together.At times some of the backing does fade way back on my headset.
I`d agree with Greg - most listeners would tell that`s its not a live recording - but that doesn`t mean the background sounds don`t add to the feel of the track - the ending was fun!

Andy,
Love the live feel especially the ending HAHA brilliant.
Your song sounds like the feed was taken of the mixer and maybe "the vocals added later" but I have no idea how to change that in a recording to make it all live.
Great song tho' and a great idea

enjoyed
