New bluegrass song using BIAB 2014 audiophile Mac version. Time To Get My Frontier OnBy Jamie Archer and Terry Edwards Listen here: SoundcloudVocal - Jamie Archer Mandolin - Terry Edwards (bridge only) All other instruments use BIAB real tracks: Bluegrass rhythm guitar Resophonic guitar soloist Fiddle soloist Mandolin soloist Upright bass RealTracks imported into Logic Pro. All plugins (EQ, compression, reverb, etc) are Universal Audio using their quad card. Workflow: Compose song in BIAB with guitar and bass, port to Logic Pro. In BIAB regenerate each soloist instrument several times, render individual files, drag to Logic Pro. In Logic Pro meticulously cut and paste each instrument waveform with hand drawn volume curves to back up the vocalist. Thanks to the BIAB Mac team for supporting Mac and bluegrass! Hope you like the song! - Terry This eastern girl’s in need of some adventure Tires singing to me on the highway Those cool fall nights amid the timber Dreaming ‘neath the Milky Way makes my heart sway Time to get my frontier on Time to get my frontier on Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming I hear you calling And I’m moving on …I’m moving on City lights fade from my rear view mirror They morph into the silver moon and stars I surrender to the aura and the mystery Of a big sky, mountains, Jupiter and Mars Time to get my frontier on Time to get my frontier on Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming I hear you calling And I’m moving on …I’m moving on (Instrumental solo) (repeat chorus) Dreams come alive with every mile that I ride and I feel free Black steel spinning spokes Horses rumbling ‘neath me stokes This fire in my soul (repeat chorus and outro)

Terry and Jamie...
Man! talk about hittin' the ground running...
Cool song. Terrific vocal. Nice instrument selection. Excellent mix.
Nice opening!
A lot of folks here like to be able to see lyrics - and this song is well worth showing them off...
A great listen.

Hi Jamie and Terry, Welcome to the forums  This is the first song I've listened to this morning in the Users Showcase and what a great way to start the day! "Time To Get My Frontier On" is incredibly well created, mixed and presented. A+ all the way! Regards, Noel

Terry and Jamie,
The 1st 22 seconds of this threw my "rock" ears into confusion but as Jamie started to sing I thought WOW I am enjoying this. So I pressed replay and understood the intro a bit better.
Bluegrass was not my favourite genre but with songs like this I could easily become a convert!!
What a great song to start my day.
I look forward to more
Alyn

Hi Terry and Jamie, So this seems too be the last new song off the year Having read Alyns comments I listened twice. Your song is perfectly put together,mixing must have taken days and is very well done. Jamie, your voice is wonderful. But with all that you have this bluegrass soul,that I, as a European, could never produce. Well done, enjoyed it very much, happy New year ! Fred

Nice acoustic stuff there.
I like it.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi Jamie and Terry.
This may be your first post here, but it's fairly obvious that you're not new to this game. Everything about this track points to years of experience in both song-writing and recording and the whole package just screams out "professional".
Like Alyn and Fred, I don't get exposed to a lot of Bluegrass this side of the Atlantic, but it doesn't mean that I can't appreciate how good this is. It's no surprise to me that my old pal Floyd likes this one and he has to be the expert on Country around the forum.
Really nice choice of RTs and a wonderful vocal by Jamie. Looking forward to hearing more of your stuff in the New Year.
Oh, and welcome to the forum!
ROG.

Solid song and mix. Well sung, and I love Jamie's country wail.
Good title - an intriguing choice of language that made me want to listen and find out what the song was about. Nice inner rhymes and alliteration in the lyrics.
I especially love the lyric "surrender to the aura and the mystery".
