Hi

My first attempt at using BIAB into Realtracks into Reaper. Any suggestions how to keep Soundcloud happy? Not exactly erudite lyrics..... grin

My apologies, it works fine now. When I checked no one had looked at it so I deleted it and added it again. I wanted to add some reverb to the vocals. It took much longer to load on Soundcloud than the previous time and seems a lot more like my pre Soundcloud version. Strange. confused

Soundcloud is going to add compression so my experience has shown that uploading a wav file will give you the best chance for a good sound. Better IMO than having them compress an already compressed file, e.g. mp3.

No need to apologize for the lyric...hey, it's blues -- not supposed to be poetry smile Plus it's got that blues "slight naughty element" going. It's the vibe and soul with blues that rules in our book and this song has it!

Everything sounds in the pocket to us blues lovers. Got that feel of a "real" band that's been playing together for a while.

Nice vocal also...sits well in the mix.

Did you put any overdrive on the harmonica? It has a good bite.

Enjoyed it.

Pure RealTrack. The only thing I added was the vocals. 2nd take. grin I just lack patience. Also I had to make sure everyone was out, I'd turned off the air con and the unplugged the fridge. blush I liked the distorted blues guitar Realtrack. I ran each track through iZotope Neutron Elements using the track assistant then added iZotope Ozone Elements to the Master mix along with Waves NX5. I added a bit of reverb on the vocals at the end as it was a bit dry.

lambada,

A good blues shuffle. The band is rockin'... the lead is cool!

(I thought - for a rocking blues song - the vocal could have come down just a little). Really well sung - good energy - enjoyed it...

Cool tune. Loved the title. Had a little dog sitting on my lap while I was listening. She thinks the song is cool too. Well done
