Here's a slight remix of one of the tunes from my Dang, this stuff is tough! thread I can't say that I hear much of a difference, though (ha, ha). There are still a few places where the lead vocal blends in a bit. I also don't care for the sound of the intro at the moment. It looks like I posted the original here way back in 2010 (and the mix is quite different from then!). One intrepid listener chimed in back then (always appreciated!). This was before the User Showcase section was even added. BIAB Stuff: (I do believe this is still accurate) Bass: Midi Picked Electric Bass (35) Drums: NashvillePop16^3-Hihat,Ride Acoustic Guitar: 380:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Syncopated Sugar Ev 102 Electric Guitar: 381:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Syncopated Sugar Ev 102 Piano: 889:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment PopFunkyTexas Ev 100 ************************************************ This is Her Weekend (to watch the dogs)(c) Emmrich 2015I wanna go fishing My ex is [*****] That there’s two dogs to watch Says she needs a vacation or some appreciation but her lame story doesn't wash I sort of do miss her and the way things were but she’s supposed to keep Delta and Dawn we wrote it in the agreement Judge Judy signed and sealed it this is her weekend to watch the dogs. (chorus) I wish I was out barking or howling at the moon or down at Danny's Buying babes typhoons but here I am at home Dog Whisperer on the tube It must be against the law this is her weekend to watch the dogs. I'm gonna call my lawyer and the National Guard and when they arrest her, I'll applaud she thinks she's found a loop hole but she ain't gonna get parole this is her weekend to watch the dogs. (chorus again) (bridge) You know Delta and Dawn are sort of sweet and they love lying by my feet but Sam just gave a shout, there are spring break girls all about (chorus again and tag) Kevin: Acoustic guitar, vocals Sam: vocals Kelly: "Hey Sam!" BIAB: Drums, Bass, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano

Nice song. I've been following along with your album on the other thread. This mix sounds pretty good to me.

Kevin,
I always like your stuff - there is so much "freedom" in your writing and your delivery.
I am generally telling people to "turn the piano up", but in this case, I think you need to bring it down some (2-3 dB would be my guess). The Solo-Accompaniment pianos include "a lot more playing" (including the bass end) - and that is what is competing with your vocal. (if you are really adventurous, you might want to consider finding a less busy piano track)
Fun song.

Greg: Glad you liked the chorus. It actually started off as a girl's story, but the whose post triggered the idea for the song didn't want to co-write on that idea, so I made it a guys song (which makes it more amusing, I think).
Bob, gruverider, Charlie, Alyn, Guenter: Thanks for stopping by and giving it a spin. Glad you all enjoyed it.
Floyd: I had cut back on the BIAB acoustic guitar and was considering finding a replacement, but I chickened out! So the thought of a piano replacement is even worse (ha, ha). Of course it took me awhile to even find the original BIAB stuff for this tune this morning.
I cut the piano -2.5 dB during the bridge and ~ -1db every where else. I think it helped during the bridge. I also increased the high pass filter a tad. Thanks for the comment.

Kevin,
I've been following your other thread in "Recording, mixing, etc." with interest. There are some good ideas that have come out during the course of the comments. Just a moment ago, I mentioned Ozone by iZotope. Guitarhacker is right when he says it would be worth trying. It really is good at adding polish to the final product and it does it with ease. I wouldn't be without it. The $200 version is the one I have. (floyd, rharv, J&B, Guitarhacker, JosieC, Sundance (inasmuch as I recall, at least), Matt Finley are some of the people on the PG Music forums who use Ozone.)
"This Is Her Weekend" sounds excellent. From your comment on Soundcloud, I take it that you have taken floyd's advice and have adjusted the piano. It sounded fine to me in what I just heard. The mix is great and the imagery in the lyrics is excellent.
When "This Is Her Weekend" finished, Soundcloud took me to the "Bup Bup Song". That is such a cool sound. To my ears, there's a Paul-Simon-like folk sound in your writing and presentation of this one. Now "Little Bit Of Lovin'" is playing... this is also great!
All the best with your album.
Regards,
Noel

It appears to me that you guys had lots of fun recording this one. Just don't let it go to the dogs!
I enjoyed the humor and I hope to hear more of this type song in the future.

Now that was witty and funny!
Yep, those
solo-accompanient RT's can get pretty busy
for rhythm sometimes. Comped up they
can even make a decent solo. But you've
got it down enough for my ears at this point.
And that chorus is outstanding!
And we always love your vocals!
Nice.
J&B
