Hi fellows. Here is a tune I sweated. Had a bit of a hiccup with tempo of non BIAB items but good people of this forum helped me to get it right...When I was done with backing track I was about to dump it, because of the frustration it caused, but then looked at it once more and it just came together. Besides BIAB, I used a few old arranger midi styles which had some surgeries and revoicing done. Now, looking back, it was a fun project for me. Please do not judge harshly, this is more of an experiment. P.S. "Love is a serious mental disease" - Plato. Thank you for listening! Mental Disease BIAB: 2614:Bass, Electric, FunkPumping 16th EV100 2526:Piano, Electric, Rhythm FunkTremolo EV16 100 RealDrums JazzFunkFiery 2617:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Funk / MutedWahWah 2618: Guitar Electric,Rhythm Funk 2541: Pedal Steel, Background ModernPopCountry Ev 100 Lyrics: Watching world spin as a reel, like a drama film From a window of a fast train, it's a labyrinth of never ending dream. I'm lost like a needle, a needle in hay. Love is a serious mental disease, that's what wise men say. I tend to follow their expertise, going insane. Ghosts from the past are walking among us, looking for body to steal. Lies and illusions are spreading like virus, masses are searching for magical pill. Love is a serious mental disease, that's what wise men say. I tend to follow their expertise, going insane. Some men possessed by the sky like Icarus, some are collecting post stamps. Some lay all day on a couch like a walrus, some like to dance. Love is a serious mental disease, that's what wise men say. I tend to follow their expertise, going insane.

Hi Rustyspoon, thank you for sharing this! Excellent mixdown on all of this and I dig the overall timbres. That piano gels everything together nicely. Keep it up!
Cheers, Joe

Rustyspoon, if it was “just an experiment” it was a good one. This song kept me listening. I like iit.

Joe, Thanks! I think mix is a bit too dynamic.. but you are very right, piano glued a lot of weirdness together. Hey Tony. Thank you for the post and for your help with tempo things! Scott, Thank you for listening and positive feedback! Misha

HI Misha,
An experiment gone right! Different, interesting and a pleasure to listen to. You have some of the most interesting music on the forums! Cool song and great vocal. I like the ending a lot. Best to you,

I love the line "Love is a serious mental disease." Yeah! I like the your mix, especially the placement of the disco guitar, and the somewhat ethereal ambiance created with the instrumentation.

Fair enough! You might benefit from some compression on the master bus to help reduce the dynamic range.
Cheers, Joe

BiaB encourages experimentation and you take advantage of that with another cool production. We enjoyed the spin! From a "fellow" and a gal J&B

I can tell you had fun with this project... perhaps it shined most in your scat singing... and in the imagery of the lyrics... I would say you experiment paid dividends... I imagine you song also would be well-suited for a video... I can just see a walrus on a couch

Always a treat to listen to your creative work! Again, your choice of lyric words is most interesting, and it inspires me to break outside the normal walls of lyric writing!
You had me laughing in the break...there was Leon Redbone again! maybe Louis Armstrong! What that the 'insane' aspect of your song!? I liked it alot.
My only suggestion...right there at the end, with the little playful notes...it sounded like you cut it off and needed one more 'ending' note, resolving up to your main key...just a little something I was expecting to make it a neat ending!
Thanks for your hard work in mastering this tough one! It was worth it!

Hi Ruszyspoon#,
no doubt that Plato was right and no doubt his saying cried for a good song. And no doubt that you did a very creative job on that front. A very good listen, thank you for sharing.
Take care,
Stefan

Hi gals and fellows Thank you for excellent feedback! As Alan sharply noted, it was an experiment gone right. Originally I wrote the backing track for a completely different song. I think, the more I get involved in music, the more I understand that it is better not to get attached to idea or structure of a song too firmly. Things flow better when you approach them with open mind. Joe, Thank you for suggestion! I added some compression to M.Bus initially, probably have to fool around some more with compression on individual tracks too. Tano, Thank you for "ending" reminder. I was so relieved that I got the tempo corrected, that I rushed to finish it asap, so I can put it behind me. You are right 100% about ending things properly. I have a childhood friend who spent some time with throat singers from Tuva. He captured technique pretty well. Hoping one day to lure him to do some "vocal" lines on my tunes. Could be very fun project:) Best regards, Misha.

Rustyspoon. Initially I thought the vocal was too loud but as the song progress I was more comfortable with the level. A VERY cool song. Well done once again.

Ember, thank you!
Rayc, you are actually very right, it is not mixed well at all. I realized that when I listened to it in the car yesterday:) Thanks for listening and your input!
Misha.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
