Dean, The thing that sticks out on this one is the killer arrangement. The unison guitar and bass lines take this to another level. The guitar solo is great. I have always liked this tune. But the way you have taken this well known Jazz Pop song and dirtied it up with this arrangement is inspired and makes me like the tune even more. I agree with Herb about the vocal processing. Super job on this!! Tom

Hello Aleck...
Nice guitar work...but would suggest less reverb on the voice...it kinda sounds like your in the next room...

Hi Guitarhacker,
I took both of your responses seriously. I remixed and brought Martin forward, as you suggested. I think you're right about the first mix. As far as how you liked it - man, I am flattered to the limit.
Thanks from all of us.
Dean

Hi Horst,
I took your suggestion seriously and cut the reverb on Martin's voice in a new mix. I hope you'll read this and check if it now sounds more agreeable.

Tommy,
Wow, thank you my friend. Y'know, if you read this you're gonna have to reveal some of your mixing secrets. You and Floyd seem to be in a class by yourselves when it comes to sound production. Huge sound, perfect balance, indistinguishable from a studio recording.
My problem is that I think and work, not on DAWs and plug-ins, but on the instruments. This arrangement could never have been created with RealTracks so the amount of work that goes into nailing the parts on three instruments is ... well, sometimes I wonder if the juice ain't worth the squeeze. That feeling never lasts long when I get responses like yours. Sure it's worth it!

Alyn,
It's been a while since we hooked up on the Forum. Yeah, this tune brings back a lot of memories for me. There is a remixed version posted with Martin's voice pushed forward with less reverb. If you read this and have time to check it out I'm curious to know if the balance now seems right.
And thank you for the kind remarks.
Dean

Dean, I love the original recording of "Sunny" Sad to hear Bobby Hebb passed, but great music never dies. Your cover breathes new life into a classic. Well done and thanks. SD

Dean ...
You and Martin tore it up!!! It's one of my favorite songs of the 60's. I was in Vietnam when this was a popular song. Love the unusual chord arrangement.
And your version is just so danged cool! Love the smooth jazz guitar on this NuJazz piece.
Martin's vocal is great, too. But I tend to agree with herb that it is back quite a ways in the mix ... not volume but reverb.
But, this thing smokes! Fabulous arrangement and performance! Loved it! best to you ...

Al and Di,
There's a new mix that solves all the problems, at least I think it does. I hope you see this and check it out.
And, of course, thank you. And I'm stilling about the right tune.

Hi Guenter,
You've obviously experimented with the R&B horns, so I know exactly what you're talking about. The R&B horns have 8 or so subriffs. I generated dozens of these. I mean dozens of each subriff.
Then I pushed various snippets from these around to get something that would be coherent with respect to the lyrics, arrangement and singing. In other words, tedious and laborious but worth it in the end. After all, they are real horns.
Great question - thanks for asking it.
Dean

Floyd,
I'm glad you liked it. And I took those folks' remarks seriously and created a new mix with Martin more forward and with less reverb. The time has come to share some of your secrets of sound production. I asked Tommy to do the same. If you miss this, I'll send you a PM.
