I can't tell you how excited I am to share this one with you! Work started on this in late October and it took forever to git r done! But it is done, and I'm really pleased with it! Hope you are too. I'm particularly happy, because this is the first mix in a while that sounds exactly as the .SEQ does in the RealBand DAW.

This is my ninth production with PG Music software. All tracks are RealTracks and RealDrums with the exception of my sax tracks. This also marks the debut of me on alto sax! I hadn't owned one since 1985, until 3 months ago. Thanks to Michael White, Freddy Washington, Jeff Young, Greg Moore, Dwight Sills, and Jeff Lorber for their amazing playing! I also again used a touch of 'brass' harmony parts generated from the saxes' melody by RB's built-in TC Helicon harmonizer. They were subtly mixed in with the real horns for a nice effect. The Basic Style was FUNKS16.

The 10-band EQ, and PG Reverb were used on most tracks, with Chorus/Echo on the solo guitar and the horns. I used one outside plugin- EasyQ parametric equalizer on the alto sax solo. Other than BIAB/RB, Audacity was used for a dash of post-mix editing (crop, Amplify, and mastering EQ).

As always, thanks very much for listening and please enjoy! If you dig it, please do leave a like and a comment, and consider following me at SoundCloud. Thanks guys!!

Nice funky tune! Smart and uplifting. Solid production. I enjoyed it!

In a good way, it reminded me of Medeski Martin & Wood band smile

Best regards,

Thanks Misha, was not familiar with them- they sound pretty good, Tower of Power sans horns!

Your sax playing is wonderful - the backing is sympathetic and smooth. Thanks for the added details about exporting etc.

RayC, thank you! BTW, that Elvis Costello tune you quote is one of my faves and something I used to sing with my old cover band.

Desperately waiting for no. 10 !!!
