Kenny Hi Kenny. I've been a fan of AWB pretty much since they appeared on the scene. Fabulous musicians. Many thanks for the listen and the kind words. Much appreciated. Cheers, ROG.

ROG, man, what a production! So much stuff happening here, killer job on the mix to make it all work. Love the vocal treatment, very cool! And the stops with the bass playing though them. Nice, tasteful playing on the guitar too (love the tele in your profile pic!)
Enjoyed everything about this! Many thanks, Dave. Really appreciate all the feedback. I see you're a "Tele" man as well. Great guitars - so simple, but somehow just right. Cheers, ROG.

WOW!!! Alan Parsons meets AWB meets The Beatles, and a whole lotta ROG thrown in there. Great story about the way it all came together, and it came together JUST RIGHT!! Absolutely LOVE IT!!! Take care. Greg Hi Greg. A lot of nice influences mentioned there and all very welcome. Many thanks, too, for the listen and review. Cheers, ROG.

What was the total number of tracks? I can't imagine.
Eight tracks make my hair hurt.
The backstory on how it all came about is fascinating -- even if I only understand about 25% of it!
What to say? It's terrific. The vocals are over the top and, man, does that RT bass line drive it. Everything you and your BiaB players put into this is tremendous.
Like floyd said it takes several listens to begin to hear all the goodies.
And, hey listeners, if you haven't yet CRANK this one UP. It filled our room with the killer mix. Huge.
Yeah, something is going on, and it's a helluva song.
J&B
Hi there J&B. Total number of tracks? Thirty eight! Drums, Bass, two tracks of horns, trumpets, piano, organ, three guitar tracks and seven vocal phrases with four tracks each. To make the mix manageable, each of the vocal phrases had it's own sub-mix with it's own effects, routed to a group, so the volume of each phrase with it's effects needed only one fader. I get a lot of questions about the Realband/Powertracks mixer and I'm looking at producing a video tutorial at some time in the future. I'll keep you posted! Anyway, many thanks for all the kind comments - much appreciated. Cheers, ROG.

"Janice & Bud said everything that matters. What a cool song! Absolutely loved the horns and the complimentary guitar licks sat perfectly with everything else. And yep, we cranked this puppy up and sat back and smiled! Great work, ROG!
Like Janice & Bud, your explanation of how you put this together went a little over our heads - well, for us simpletons (Di & me), it was *WAY* over our heads! But, it ended up fabulous! Standing "O"!!!
Alan & Di"
Hi Alan.
I know you're very busy at the moment, so many thanks for taking the time to listen.
Really pleased you liked it - always value your opinion.
LOUD is good - glad it made you smile.
All the best, ROG.

Roger ;-),
First, my compliments on such a bright and powerful mix. How do you manage to get these loud levels? If we try something like that in Cubase the sound will distort....
It is true this has some Alan Parsons influences in it, but it's got slightly more power ;-)
Your vocals are always smooth, professional and creative. They shine once again here.
True power pop!
Rob
Hi Rob. Many thanks for the listen and the review, especially on the mix. For many years I was recording on tape and we used to compress everything at the tracking stage to get a good signal to noise ratio. Rhythm tracks in particular were always pushed into the red on the VU meters and benefited from tape saturation as well. This has the added advantage of making the mix easier, because the tracks stay where you put them! By the time you get a finished mix, all you usually need is a good balancing amp on the main output. There was always competition to see who could get tracks to play loudest on the radio. Thanks for the kind comments - always like your own stuff and appreciate your opinion. Cheers. Roger.

Hi ROG, This is great! I am not sure what Floyd meant by "synergy" because I don't know big words like that but I am sure it means good. To my ears it was funkalogical. And by this I mean you have it all going on. Also it was funkagorical and funkalicious. Those are the only big words I know but I do know that George Clinton will nod his head when he hears this one and say: "That was funkaholic man." Groove on my funky brother. Groove on!!!!!! Hi David. I just decided "Synergy" must be a good thing! Hey, George Clinton - haven't heard that name in a while. If it would get his approval I'd be well pleased. Many thanks for looking in on this one. Cheers, ROG.
