Here is my latest BIAB produced song Sweet Eyes I also entered it into the Xtra Styles Contest. * Here * Before I entered the contest, I started a discussion over in the Recording, Performance and Production Forum based on my Production Notes . The vocals were recorded in 1992 and extracted from a stereo file of vocal and acoustic guitar for this updated version of the song. Quite a bit of work had to be done to even out the tempo which ranged from 99-105 bpm to finally a fixed bpm of 102 and also some chord changes were made to vary from the original chords recorded in 1992.. The production notes discussion has the song summary and a link to an earlier version that includes a portion of the original track tacked onto the end. Enjoy and please comment.

Really nice feel on this!! I like the way the music rolls along so pleasantly. Vocal sounds great (digital or analog originally?). This has kind of a retro feel for me-Roy Orbison era. Enjoyed!! Take care. Greg

Take care. Greg Thanks for listening and taking time to comment Greg. The original recording was entirely analog. I'm not sure when it was converted to MP3 and put on the computer except that it was years ago and likely low resolution.

Glad you decided to put this here as well, Charlie. People should hear what you are able to do with "old recording" using the tools that PG Music provide.
This is a terrific listen. Nice production and mix. A cool vocal, too...

fj Thanks Floyd. I hope it helps someone along the way preserve and improve an old recording of their own. PGMusic provides something for everybody. I've really enjoyed learning about it. Charlie

As I said on the other forum, I love this. Great drum sound, and great guitar sounds accompanying a wonderful song.
Great job.

Thanks for exploring the wonderful possibilities that exist in Biab and sharing your expertise. Tom Thanks Tom. I got a lot of satisfaction on how the song turned out. I haven't been accused of being ambitious for years. I really enjoyed your latest posting and find it very relatable to my current place in life.

Great job. I appreciate that David. With the Edginess of your collaboration with Mario, You are getting closer and closer to needing the guitar part from this song. Charlie

I will echo my response on the Xtra styles contest that this one is your best to date I think, including some very interesting chord changes. Vocals very nicely done.
The contest is getting bigger and bigger indeed.

Amazing. I have been unsuccessful trying to meld old analog tracks with BiaB. You have inspired me to try again.
Not only did the technical aspects work out so well but it is a wonderful song.
Congrats on a successful project!
