I was wondering how long you'd hold off on the drums.

Like some others, I'd have bet you added custom guitars to the track. I keep underestimating what this program (and users) is capable of.

You can pat your 20 year old self on the back. smile


Thanks, David. The collection of available guitar tracks - both acoustic and electric - has gotten better with each release. BIAB 2018 added a bunch of really nice ones. It makes "finding what you hear in your head" easier all the time. I hope it will continue into the future releases... I've found some nice ways to process the stereo acoustic RTs to get just what I've been looking for for a long time...

To me, this is so close to going from really good to something special. As it stands, a well done song.

Best regards,

Thanks for the listen, Deej - and the thoughtful ideas... Since this was written 40 years ago, it reflects a particular period in time - and a style of writing/music that was prevalent at the time. I saw no reason to try to "modernize" this. In fact, I think that might reduce its impact (but I could be wrong)...
