HTL,
You've done a magnificent job with this. The energy coming out my speakers was enough power a small town! What can I say? Everything about this was confident, competent and really, really well put together. I had to laugh with this comment. I'm from a small town...well, village. Something about your comment really made me feel like I hit what I was going for! Thank you for the kind compliments. I know you REALLY know a lot of what I was going for, so I'm feeling pretty good right now  Your take on these lyrics took me completely by surprise in a great way! No kidding? That makes me feels awesome! I noticed in reading several peoples lyrics prior to listening to their song (not just this song) I frequently phrase things differently than they do. That was what this entire exercise was for me. That you made this specific comment blows my mind...in a great way It means a TON coming from someone who studies lyrics as much, maybe more, than I do! THANK YOU!
Chad (Hope that makes it easier)

I'll keep it short and to the point. I've N-E-V-E-R heard a power rock song I like more than this one. And I mean that totally. In my 71 years - this is best! Terrific production and performance. - WOW!
Alan Seriously? WOW is right! What a compliment! Thank you so VERY much! What a great thing to say! Thank you Alan!

Man.... my FAVORITE version of this. Whoa...THANK YOU! I totally respect what you do on the forums musically and to help out. I very much appreciate your comment. That is so cool, and love the production tricks you use..... EQ might be a pain, but hey, it's reasonably done. I'll bet this rocks with a wave on a studio system with a sub don't ya know!! Thanks. EQ is not my friend. But I have a friend who is friends with it. Maybe I will call him I know of and have used Glitch, but didn't use it on this. I did a combination of a turn table effect, followed by volume slicing, and finally distortion. The only other thing I did was to take the snare hit from the front, copy it, reverse it, and use that to have it come back into the final chorus. Well done. Yep... I like this. Means a lot. Thanks! edit: I'll bet JC never saw THIS one coming. I have wondered if this is how she heard it in her head lol

Wow - what a tune! Your rendition of this is spot on. It's incredibly unique to hear something like this on the showcase here. You really did an outstanding job. The vocal performance is great, the arrangement is great, the mixing is great - not a thing I'd change here. Fantastic job, and thanks so much for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

So there is a bit or irony in a decision I made. Roughly a year ago we started this little challenge with I had a blast participating in. I really felt a sense of comradery that I personally had experienced here before. THANK YOU to Joanne Cooper for supply us the lyrics to work with...and so fast! Anyway, something that has bothered me for a while was I sort of dropped off and had very limited ability to respond to the comments that were made. With what was going on, serious health issues, it sort of took a back seat. Later I stumbled across the wonderful comments that I hadn't responded to yet...there was also a thread about "bumping" that made me hesitant. I decided that this really isn't about me; or my treatment of the song. It's about saying "thank you" to the people that I REALLY appreciate took the time to comment. So bumping be damned! A year in the making of THANKS! I just read something in another thread from Bud that light the fire, and appropriately, their response was the first in the line of responses I haven't made yet. Here we go...bare with me. It will take a few days. We had to shove the sub back against the wall three times. If this had a piano in it you could’ve set it on fire and walked off the stage. Ha! That's funny. A bit more than dropping a mic. Is that where the term "had a flare" comes from? Spector never really knew what a wall of sound was. At least not what just got thrown at us. No earbuds, no monitors for this. We cranked the Polks and the sub way up for the full experience.
The performances on vocals and drums oughta rattle the forum to the core. We need more like this. Three cups of joe and then this...whew! More can certainly come; it's more deciding genres and having time. I love to write in all different styles. I joke that when I work out I have ABBA and Avenged Sevenfold that I listen to. Not at the same time of course...but that would explain "me" a bit. Hey, no genre worries...good music is good music I know you're not a genre-ist. Lol. New word? Janice said she could visualize Steve Jordan’s motions on the drums. Not the same style but he has a great look when playing. Aw...Steve Jordan. That guy! Man! Talk about confidence at a drum kit. If you heard it; it's because he wanted you to. Every stroke was that way with him. Great player! More! Re this style Bud is likely your oldest fan J&B Thanks much! I'm not sure about oldest though. My dad is a pretty big fan, and I believe him to be older...however you are MUCH younger at heart. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. Sorry the appreciation of those Comments where so long coming.

Definitely the most interesting version of the paradox, really grunge song Powerful mix, nothing disturbs me, difficult to believe you can create this heavy sound by using BIAB real tracks. I like the ending effect. Rocking vocals, with a bit of Dave Grohl. Janne Janne, thanks so much for the listen and comments. I think BIAB and RT have many incredible sounds. The fun, I feel, is getting inspiration from combining them in new ways. That sparks new ideas; and it's a whole new world from there. Again, thanks for the listen.

My question is...
When will we hear more of your songs???? You ask a great question Jim! My problem isn't that I don't write. It's the I write, what feels like, all the time...it's just that it's not totally for fun. It's for work. I am committed to posting some more songs this year. This 1 song every year or 2 isn't enough for me. lol. Floyd Jane has been helping me with a simple way to write songs at pace that works around life. Thank you so much for the vote of confidence in asking. That's a really great feeling that you would ask. Thank you!

This is some very enjoyable high-octane rock and roll! The mix sound good to me. Excellent pipes.

Caaron,
SPECTACULAR!
All the above accolades are warranted and deserved. EQ problems?..eh..NO, none at all! Thank you FJ. I don't mean to disagree; but it's a tad muddy. I didn't EQ it beyond a 4 band compressor for quick reference. Dropping instruments out at key points so they don't bump into each other would help as would just flat our proper EQ. I don't even know if most people would even hear the synths from the second verse on. There's work to do there; I'm just not one to do that part of it. lol Thanks though! A truly EXCELLENT use of these lyrics. None better. They work as "metal lyrics" - like that was meant to be. Zowie. I had to find a rhythm to make them "flow" in the right feel. They were really fun to work with. As far as I can tell, you never specifically said that the vocal is you? It is INCREDIBLY GOOD! Off-the-charts-good. A voice meant for ROCK!! I listened a number of times JUST to key on IT. (I listened other times to key on other aspects - each deserving it's "own listen"). Not me! In fact, had it been me your comment would have read... "As far as I can tell, you never specifically said that the vocal is you? It's INCREDIBLY BAD! Off-the-charts-bad. A voice meant for SILENCE!!" AWESOME drums! (They definitely got their own listen). Solid. You can't do that type drumming and "get away with sloppy". Tight as *@#*^@#(!!! Dang. (I do think Nickelback's drums are mixed just a smidge louder just a smidge). Truly. Awe. Inspiring. (That has GOT to be exhausting!!!) Those are me. I really enjoy doing them. I feel like they change the the feel of the BIAB tracks. It's fun to play around and come up with various parts. Nickelback's are both louder and produced better. That's getting into more than I was willing to do at this point. I keep saying I will; but honestly, it's more than I want to tackle right now. Great use of the BAND! Without a doubt the best metal we have ever heard. Even without spending a bunch of time on the getting-picky-with-the-lead, it fits perfectly.
Great mix. Cranked as loud as possible this sounds great. Metal with Warmth. That can't be easy to accomplish. I've heard a few numetal sounds I would like to try out; but also don't want to be known as the metal guy around here. I like a lot of different styles and will try a few of those before returning to rock. Very nice of you to say. What a treat. The "break" at 2:01 was crazy good! I really enjoy production and arranging. To me, and this might be rare, it's plays into the writing of the song, without being lyrics, melody, or harmony. Yet, it shapes the song nearly as much. Please do A WHOLE LOT MORE!!! No comment. I bet you thought I would ever say that! -C

Modern metal sounds abound.
As a matter of taste I think the guitars are a little too fizzy. If they've been run through sims that would be the most likely cause.
I think the kit sounds pretty good though the kick drum isn't EQ genre specifically - the flicked aluminium Milo foil thing. I MUCH prefer a kick with more thud & thwack and less click as you've done it.
If you're into arranging then you probably do have an inherent sense about EQ as that's, largely, what arrangement is about - fitting the sounds together. You just need tools that allow you to work intuitively. Reaper's parametric EQ is cool.
Big niose - well done.
Cheers

Look what they’ve done to my song, mum. Look what they’ve done to my song! This was supposed to be a love song!!!. I am (of course) only joking. You took these lyrics and interpreted them in exactly your own way. Which is a exactly what they were there for! I'm so glad you said this. Knowing your style having listened to many of your songs and visiting your videos; I would hope you already know I'm a fan! That being said, I had a reference of what I wanted NOT to do. I tried to take somewhere that didn't sound like you to show how versatile you lyrics are. I was SO hoping you were ok with it! The song is absolutely amazing Caaron. Those vocals are just right out of the park. Unbelievable that this was done with band in a box. As for “lack of EQ”? It is just like I always suspected...that these realtracks are so beautifully recorded and produced that they don’t need much from us at all! I do think they sound great as is. They could be helped with some shaping, not because of being recorded "wrong" but from the sounds I choose bumping into each other from a frequency aspect. But great sounds to start with sure helps and that's what you get with BIAB! A truly unique and paradoxical take. Well done. Stand back Nickleback. I'm afraid they may have! I haven't heard much from them or much from rock in general. I hope I didn't end the entire genre. lol J/K there is still some great rock being produced. I'm just a little saddened that it's popularity has declined so much. Thank you again so much for providing such a fun sandbox to play in. Your lyrics worked so well for so many! YOU really made this whole thing possible and have to say, we all responded. You're the best! Thanks for making this happen!
