As usual, a very clean mix, so the reverb on the clap really comes through.

One of these days, I'm going to have to pick up Waves CLA Drums, just to see what they do to the drums. But I know the real magic is Bud, not the VST.

I enjoyed the song and video! laugh


Thank you David. We much appreciate the mention of the vocal, the vid and the mix. The open minamlist mix is about all we know how to do so glad it worked for you. A few more tracks and it’s above my pay grade smile

Nicely done, guys!

Ray is right in the pocket, Peter sounds great, and as always it's a treat to hear (and also see!) Janice do her thing.

Mix sounds great as per usual, Bud.

Fun song, enjoyed!

Thanks! From our understanding reggae tunes often put a lot of emphasis on that beat. So we tried the handclap which would usually be on 2 and 4. Or so I think smile

Glad you liked it.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

It was great hearing some new life breathed into this one by Ray's bass and the wonderful video that Bud & Janice produced.
Amazing how good they have gotten at video production in such a short time (it's like they have loads of talent to spare).

Well done, everyone.


Much appreciated Marty by all of us! Stay warm up that way!

The bass lines from Ray were very cool indeed. Peter's guitar is always quality, like magician Bud's finishing touch!

I only missed the dreadlock wig, Janice!

I couldn't give any likes, replaying it didn't do anything on the play counter. So it wasn't me telling stories, it's the software...


Glad you liked it Hans! We’re looking for a dreadlocks wig for the next reggae project smile Sorry about the Vimeo problems.

I did the rhythmic groove. I think I would be left footed if I tried playing this.

The featured instrumentalists and vocalist are superb---the PG Music user forum super group!

Bud, super work on putting this together. Enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Reggalicious … priceless!

We are delighted you liked the video. It assuredly tested the limits of our new video “skills” but was fun indeed. Thanks for mentioning both the cajon and Janice’s appearance — that made her smile big time.

I’ll go back to the mix and check the bass. Sometimes after my vid editor and Vimeo have done their thing the audio track can seemingly get more compressed but by that time I’ve been so focused on the vid I don’t notice.

Thanks!
