Really cool I missed it when it came out. I loved the process and especially the usage of studio one. I find that DAW really gives me a simplified but powerful workflow. I could use Reaper, cakewalk (I have both), or any other but I seem to get more done and easier in SD1.
I learnt as they say ‘round these here part, a lot about stops, hold, and such in practical terms. Great process and a really cool song.

Thanks for making this very informative video. I work in a surprisingly similar process, using BIAB and my go to DAW is REASON. I am going to check Sound Forge, for Mastering, and Studio One. Thanks for taking your time to make this video.

Great job Floyd, you kept me interested the whole time. And I dig the end result of your tune.
In the past I've left the drums (actually all the real tracks) alone and haven't put eq or compression on them, I just made the assumption all that good stuff was already done for me when the real tracks were recorded. Not sure anymore if that's case. At the end of the day, I suppose if it sounds good it is good, and your mix sounds good.

Thank you, Floyd (and PG Music).
I have had BIAB for a while but I'm new to using it for my songwriting. It was great to see someone used to doing this walk me through it (so to speak). MOre than I can absorb in a single setting but I'll be back for the whole deal.
I like the song!
It's inspiring to hear a songwriter's process.

I watched parts of this before, but this morning I visited PG Music's channel and went through this whole video. Well done Floyd, and Janice, and all involved.
For anyone trying to use BiaB and the Real Tracks to bring their songs to life, this is the way to do it.
Very informative. Highly recommended.
