Les,
Welcome! This sounds great. Terrific vocals! Good mix.
A fun song - love the style you've done there...
Nice leads, too... (that very last one cuts off pretty quick - would be nice if it rang out to a long fade..)
Look forward to more!

Hi Les,
although you registered nearly 2 years ago
I haven't seen you here. So welcome to the
forum.
Nice fun song. I especially like your "gang" tracks.
You deliver a good live feeling.

nice energy level in the tune...... sounds like something you might hear playing in any one of the thousands of live music clubs across the land on any given Saturday night.

Great performance! The arrangement and mix is good, but the vocals really sell the song.

Les, Now that is a good time party song. Nice job on the vocal. The mix sounds great. The editing on the lead guitar is well done. That lead guitar is perfect for the song
and sounds great. I agree that in the outro it cuts off short. Sometimes you can add multiple tracks of regenerated solos and splice them together so you don't have to
just settle for what is there in the first generation of the soloist track. I always say endings are the hardest part of BIAB. I have started to look at the endings first to make
sure they sound as natural as I can make them and then work on the rest. Anxious to hear more of your work, Good Job. Tom

Thank you everyone for your nice comments; it's inspiring!
Yes, I wish the guitar player was myself, but it's Brent Mason, so I didn't want to change what he did too much, I did actually change one note he played in Melodyne, taking a sustained note up a fourth, and I suppose I could extend out the final note on the end in the same plugin...
Thanks again everyone, I'm just trying to make the tracks into a backing track for our band now...hmm...what to leave in and what to take out...?

Hi Les,
Now that's how musical confidence sounds! The energy of your song is incredibly infectious. Great song, great arrangement, brilliant production and performance.
I'm late to the party but I'm sure glad I didn't miss this one.
Regards,
Noel
