I posted the original demo of this some months back. It was my 1st use of BIAB and, as is usual for me, I only used the drums. I made the drums a little over complicated because i was so excited to have such a cool tool. I was going to redo them but they drums patterns & structure grew on me and, to be honest, were energetic enough to push the song along. I can't recall nor can I find a pointer to, the name of the realdrums used. Sorry. I've rerecorded all the guitars and bass as well as adding a Mellotron part in the choruses. Now THAT would be a cool real track. REALTron!!! Enough blather. Here's the finished song - been around the block a few times and singer, Trudy Newell, did 3 bvox as well. I think she did a sterling job. Be warned - turn down you headphones a bit as the track has been mastered quite loud though not in Loudness Wars terms.

Sounds really good. Great song, very catchy. Excellent mix.
Only one suggestion: the mix is a little loud and hot. There is some excellent instrumentation in here and if you backed off the red spectrum just a tiny bit, you would get a lot more dynamic contrast.
But that is just a very small observation. Catchy as all get out.

Thanks folks. The master is quite hot but doesn't push the dynamics into the Loudness Wars zone luckily. It sounds much clearer/dynamic as a .wav file before the Soundcloud Squelch happened but that's life. On to the next track - BIAB drums'll feature again. That aspect of he program has enabled me to get more done on my Pat Malone.

Hi!
Can't argue with David. We fully agree with him. This is a really cool tune and everything fits just right. And yeah, Soundcloud squeezes some of the sweet spots out of many of the tunes. But, as you said in different terms, it is what it is. Nicely done!
Great work on this Ray, thanks for sharing this! The different elements really glue well together and the mix sounds well polished too. Great tone with the guitar too. Great work!
This is up my street Ray, great instrumentation and the playing is full of verve which transmits to the listener. I love the laid-back vocal too. It all smacks of punk swagger, nice work. I don't mind that someone mastered the living daylights out of it, the overall vibe asked for it! Cheers John
Raw rock and roll and it's great! I love this way the chords structure catches the listener off guard and continually guessing where it's going! Great vocals! I don't know who she is but she's REALLY good! Great work again Ray! Thanks, Torrey
