Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Many thanks Scott, I was hoping it would be percieved as laid-back.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Wow, bobbing to and fro, that's quite a compliment.
Thanks Storm.

You laid down a good groove with the progression and your bass along with the RT's.
The mashup of sw and ev tracks seemed to work well.

Nice clean not too "edgy" and not too "round" bass tone also.
The sweet spot.

And we are always down with an expressive sax.

Enjoyed it!

PS: Regarding reverb ... its been the primary track effect since Elvis and earlier. The right reverb and the right amount will help a track seem to both move forward and melt into the mix while still maintaining its presence. Google is your best friend! You could spend a lifetime researching it but no doubt there are plenty good summaries. Oh, and I guess you have noted that BiaB puts reverb on its tracks that you can increase or decrease.

Many thanks J&B, glad you liked the groove and enjoyed this arrangement. And I agree, there's nothing like the sax !

Really sweet jazz tune...loved the way you weaved the instruments in and out...the sax steals the show and the bass is a great foundation to build on...great listen! Dan

Oooo. Such a strong and engaging composition, Steve. Your bass is session-man quality. The band and the mix are fine. The sax sometimes seems a bit to the back, but that is a matter of opinion. The way you mixed it is perfect. My first time through I listened as a fan and loved it. The second time I listened for something I could say to make it better. That feeble sax attempt was all I got.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks for the comments Dan. You are quite an astute listener.
Yes, instrument weaving. I really like the element of call-and-answer where two or more instruments are communicating with one another. I try to use it when it makes sense.

What can I say about your comments Marty? "Session-man quality" is way over the top but mighty appreciated. I'm not even a teenager on my instrument yet.

Regarding the sax that sometimes fades to the back. Man, you have a good pair of ears underneath that coyote skin hat. I too noticed that. It came straight out of the BiaB box. I had no influence on it. But when I first heard it I said, "wow, I like it". It has a live feel to it where the sax player might not always be able to maintain 0dB variation thru out the song. I wonder if this was an intentional feature programmed by PG Music?

This is one of those subjects that could deserve it's own thread . . . how much "error" or humanizing should we strive for vs how much computer-generated-microsecond-perfection. Not having thought about this much, I'm leaning towards "error".

Bass Thumper,

Keep expanding those boundaries! This has a great smooth jazzy sound! Adding the sax really nails it down! The bass playing sounds great too!

Thanks, Torrey

Many Thanks Torrey, I agree, there's no instrument like the sax especially when Mark Douthit is involved smile

I agree with the others that you've done a nice job of the write, arrangement, performance and production. You put a nice band together.

Hey Charlie, really appreciate the listen and feedback. I'm still relatively new at this but is has been one fun ride so far. Very little of what I've done would be possible without this wonderful tool called BiaB smile
