OP Don R Enthusiast D Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 65 Sacramento, CA	I found another one of those Remix Contests this week... seems most people submit Rave/Club type entries - not my cup-o-tea honestly. So, for this one I tried to work up a bit of that famous Muscle Shoals sound - I don't think I got there but it is a lot different than the original artists track. For your amusement ;-) Citizens - Made Alive (Shaved Shoals Remix) Everything except the vocals was done in Real Band; Trap: RD Blues Rock Even ^1 Bass: RT 909 Elec Blues Pop Guit: RT 1718 E.Rhythm Texas Blues (Brent) H-B3: RT 673 Hammond B3 (BB Background) EPno: RT 2157 Vintage Funky Groove TSax: RT 403 Tenor Motown 60's... Well, there you have it... a hot mess in some areas. ;-) Here's a link to the Original composition for comparison; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh2rAhZG6ik Cheers!

OP Don R Enthusiast D Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 65 Sacramento, CA	Thanks for the feedback! I've submitted it as-is. While I don't think the production value is quite the same as the original I'm still amazed every day about how much we can accomplish with just BIAB & RB. I know lot's of folks are pining for 64-bit DAW's and plug-ins and oodles of memory... I guess I just don't need them for most of what I'm trying to accomplish as a Producer / Arranger. Most of my RB mixes are almost totally dry anyway. I suppose if I were a better player trying to improve my chops or were looking to PG for Pro-Tools type functionality I'd have a beef. IMO, they have a perfect niche as-is... why complicate a fairly robust tool with bolt-ons most of us will use infrequently, if at all? Again, thanks for the feedback, yielding the soapbox ;-) Cheers, Don
