DRIVE - Original country rock song uses Xtra Styles pak #378635 11/30/16 03:36 PM User Showcase

OP Buford Journeyman Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 728 Colorado	Soundcloud link: Drive The "Xtra Styles" style used in this song is just what I was looking for to finish up this song. Hard driving, hot, and fun to work with. There are two great guitar tracks in the style, but no lead guitar that would fit my needs. So I recorded a lead guitar track using a Fender Nashville Power Telecaster to finish up the song. Vocal is mine. The tracks were exported from BIAB to Reaper, vocal and guitar tracks added. This is probably NOT the final mix but it's pretty close to what I want. BIAB info is below. However for those who would like to see the progression and other details here is a link to the actual BIAB file. I have the Xtra Styles pak loaded and the latest build of BIAB Everything prog on my computer. So if you get an error message check your BIAB installation.

I did think the arrangement was too low ..if you lifted that ....? As I thought your voice tho brilliant was too out front for rock. And your band a bit distant ...balanced this would have had the Belter badge from Glasgow...Scotland . take care

Nothing fancy, BRIT COMBO amp model with compression and delay, slight reverb. Tele's don't need a lot of help.
