This production sounds HUGE....but nothing gets in the
way. The soundstage is stellar on our KRK's. I'm down
with floyd's mention of Don Henley. We have enjoyed
Henley for decades and Andy, for us, has that feel.

The write, the vocal, your playing, the arrangement,
the production...the whole package is outstanding.

This one got added to our SC playlist before the
song was half way through.

WTG guys!!

PS enjoyed reading about how it all came together.

Hi J&B

Thanks for the listen. We always admire the standard of your own stuff, so it's especially nice to get such positive comments from you.

Yeah, the track count does sound excessive, doesn't it. One of the elements which contributed to this song was the amount of BVs. There are four different BVs - Oooh, Aaah, and two lines with lyrics. Each section was recorded on separate tracks, so that we could do sub-mixes. The Ooohs and Aaahs were in two-part harmony, so had eight tracks each and the lyrics BVs four each, giving us a total of 24 tracks. The beauty of assigning each section to a sub-group is that once we had a balance within the sections, all the BVs were controlled by just four faders.

I sometimes get annoyed with computers, but at the end of the day, there's no way I'd want to go back to the old systems!

Thanks again for looking in.
