This song came about because of several different Off Topic threads. The first was eddie asking about Acidized Loops. That lead to Joanne asking about "loop based DAWs". Then there were a couple of "all over the place" threads discussing "the modern sound". I have used loops in the past to add things (sounds or feel) to a mostly-BIAB production. But, not what I would call "the Loop Thing". I believe that to get that "modern" Pop thing, you are really better off using loops in a DAW that handles loops well...BIAB can likely do it - if you put in enough effort - but that is not its "strength". Since I have never done an ALL LOOPS song, I thought I would give it a try. I used loops from the BAIB Loops folder, so this meets the requirement of "using PGMusic products". Barely. I also processed the vocals more heavily than my typical productions. (the harmonies, too - much of which are from Janice & Bud). There has been some discussion about how vocal processing really drives that "modern" sound. I believe that, whole heartedly. It does seem that most of the people who seemed interested in these discussions have sort of disappeared - gone off elsewhere - left these discussion sort of hanging... oh well... I suppose this could be an entry to Sammy #Hot100 thing, but it was not an attempt to copy anything from that list. Does this hit that "modern" mark? I don't know. Feel free to weigh in on that if you choose. (It IS new to me.) I won't do this often, but it did open my eyes to new possibilities. I would much rather have a record produced by Jay Joyce or Dave Cobb. (Both doing very current, very organic records for new artists). These are the loops: A Hip-Hop midi beat from GrooveMonkee - rendered with Studio One Impact Studio One Loops (guitars) (audio loops) 01 Conviction G-A open 06 Conviction F#-B-A 07 Conviction A-F-G 08 Conviction A straight I created 3 midi bass loops to coordinate with the Studio One guitar loops. (rendered with Studio One Presence) BIAB Loops (audio loops) Chillout - awake_88_short_lead_a_minor Dubstep - straight_gee_70_shaker_a_minor ev16 Old School - bumping_95_b drums ev16 I created 2 samples from Janice's vocals to mix in to the last chorus. I will post a picture of the mix in Studio One. It is certainly different than my usual mix screen. The tracks are in the order of the above listed loops. A BIG THANK YOU to Janice Merritt for the harmonies! And to Bud for recording her... I used the idea of "chasing that next thing" for the basis of the lyric. (Seemed like what a lot of those Off Topic threads were about...) So this all came about because of this forum....(or that one over there) A NEW YOU we've always done things a certain way we had an understanding we didn't ask too much of one another no ultimatums no demanding now you want to change all that you want to shake thing up brand new mask a different hat talk of breaking up upside down, spinning 'round coming down and landing hard where is this all coming from you caught me off guard a new you i can't keep up i can't keep up a new you i can't keep up i can't catch this new you is it really better on the other side the grass really that much greener didnt you hear what taylor said those people are so much meaner you want to change this and that you want to shake thing up brand new mask a different hat talk of breaking up upside down, spinning 'round coming down and landing hard where is this all coming from you caught me off guard a new you i can't keep up i can't keep up a new you i can't keep up i can't catch this new you i watched you walk away i heard you slam that door i truly hope you find what you are looking for a new you i can't keep up i can't keep up a new you i can't keep up i can't catch this new you Have fun with this.

Floyd,
Wow! This is like hearing the sound of a new blend of Pop Country... A tremendous piece of work. The vocal and mix is just great - so crisp and sharp.
I love the breakdown at around 2:21 - also when the "Janice Samples" comes in - great stuff!
Blown away and impressed by what you have accomplished here...
Bob

Yes, too bad those threads died off, I was quite interested in those discussions after I got over my initial prejudice about what is "good" and certainly learned a few things along the way, especially the discussion on processing vocals. Maybe you could break down what you used on the vocals? I'm sure I'm not the only one that would be interested in that. Sounds good to me, the chorus is especially strong. I'm no expert on what is hip and current, not even close! But, this sounds modern to these old ears

Floyd,
"brand new mask a different hat" which you wear with cache, sir!
An amazing accomplishment which proves many points about the possibilities,both of the software and the ability of real musicians to reinvent themselves... in any era.
I really liked that chord change on the first line of the chorus and hearing both you and Janice in this outside the box setting.
Oh, and the blue shades!
Robert

Sounds great man. I really like what you have done here artistically. To tell you the truth the contest didn't make complete sense to me, really. I think artists are going to do what they are going to do and blaze their own trail. I feel there are plenty of artists here on the forum. Just because someone is not imitating what is on the radio this second does not mean they are not "modern." The most modern moment I have never heard is when Tom Waits started banging on a saucepan and screaming over an out of tune guitar. Modern is what you say it is, if you are an artist, not what anyone else says it is, in my opinion. In that spirit, I really enjoyed this as another side of Floyd. And I did not leave you hanging. About to post. Tell me if you recognize anybody noteworthy.

Interested sound.
I prefer your tipical sound but good work at the same time.
I never used loops in my music, so I've found your post interesting.

I love how the off topic subforum can spark such creativity. I really dig what you came up with, and it's super awesome to what threads like those inspire people to make song-wise. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,

Thanks for listing Floyd. What a great effort to knit all those loops together.
Sounds very modern to me. Great effort sir. Rob

Lot of good takeaways here. The 'Modern' challenge seems to coax stronger lyrics from the writers that are moving out of their traditional comfort zone. I think that it's going to be good for the Biab community in general with the new emphasis on improving the vocal effects chain.
This is a good write, mix, production and performance. It's certainly an enjoyable listen and for me, you hit your stride and was on the mark frome about 2:20 on....

Wow Floyd, you could've fool me about not being used to an old loops production. Outstanding job all around.

floyd & Janice
Technically extremely clever - quite an undertaking!
Liked the song some wonderful writing - the vocals sound great - loved the way you used the Janice loop (and of course the harmony). You two sound so in sync it's uncanny.
Impressive work all round.

Ok...when I see terms like "Chillout" and "Dubstep" In a Floyde Jane song...you can understand where for the first time in a while; I really didn't have an expectation of how it would sound. "Straight conviction" I expect in any song of yours though  Man, you knocked it out of the park. I think you made the loops work really well; and still managed to keep "you." It's like a fresh take on something you already love. It's not giving up on anything you've done to only be this. Both is such a cool answer. The orchestration and arrangement to give the song movement was awesome in my book. The syncopation created by a combination of word choice AND delivery was impressive! Then contrasted by the held out chorus (nice melodic and harmonic supoort choices btw) really makes the song work. Again, word choice was brilliant for the melodic content of being held out. Thank you for making this song. It's says SO MUCH beyond the words and music you have written. Class, Floyd. You both teach it and have it.

Cool and interesting piece of work.
Some time back in Sonar, I used loops to create a short instrumental piece. It was a fun experiment.
It's always good to try new things to get us out of the rut we all tend to find too comfortable.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Really well done! Definitely a really modern feel, and you incorporated those loops stunningly well. The way the song builds with all those harmonies at the chorus is incredible. It gives it such a huge, tremendously powerful energy. Honestly, this is one of my favourites I've heard from you. You nailed this one - thanks so much for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

Dear Floyd
Well done for rising to the challenge! I think far too often most of us are too ready to sit on the sidelines and talk instead of diving in and getting our feet wet!
And you have shown us all how to do it and shown us all so well. Good on you!

Floyd this is an excellent piece of music. I think your vocal skill would sound great in all different kinds of songs. If talking out loud my music tastes tend to lean more to classic rock and blues. But since becoming a member of the forum I have acquired a taste for all the different genres and it pleases me to hear people take a chance on something they haven't tried before. This software allows you to throw up some chords, spin the style selector add somethings that don't make sense and see what happens. I have heard so much really good music that have genres blended.
Well done...

Maybe you could break down what you used on the vocals? I'm sure I'm not the only one that would be interested in that. Sounds good to me, the chorus is especially strong. I'm no expert on what is hip and current, not even close! But, this sounds modern to these old ears Dave - thanks for your continued support... appreciated... And in response to your question... (be careful what you ask for - HA!) Generally I group the mains vocals on one bus and the harmonies on a separate bus. For some songs I don't group the harmonies - and then process them separately. For this, all the vocals are group in a single bus which include these plugins: (this acts as a D-esser: I know the line looks crazy - but it works... based on A Studio One preset for d-essing, then "increased" some)  EQ:  "regular" Compressor...  Analog Delay...  Room Reverb...  Limiter... (does very little)  And another reverb...  The Limiter and 2nd Reverb were "something new and different" for this effort. The EQ, 2nd Compressor, Analog Delay and 1st Reverb are my normal go-to group. I duplicated the main vocal and processed with these, then blended the two tracks. EQ - dropping out the highs (and lows)...  Chorus... (fattens the vocal a bit)  This is a stereo "spreader" - increasing the distance between the left and right channels...  In addition to the big group above, the harmonies all got a Beat Delay... (this is a very cool Studio One delay) [img] http://floydjane.com/Pix/GDelay.JPG[/img]
