Thank you Billy for allowing us to share in your creative process.
this was my Saturday evening project this weekend. smile


I used all of your original files.

I approached it by trying to make each section sound a little different.
The intro i stripped down to feature the beautiful lead guitar.
...and i featured that drum fill track each time that it comes in.

I chose to do a fade in and fade out at the beginning and end of the song.
...and to build up instead of starting with all of the instruments.


Mutes and automation were used to bring in and out the various parts as needed.


I played live tambourine at the ending.

The drum loop at the start and end i programmed in Cubase's Groove Agent SE.

Also, used Groove Agent to play the added snare hit and ride cymbal.


T-Racks classic compressor was used on most tracks.
All other effects are Cubase stock effects. ( Reverbs, delays,chorus, flanger, EQ, chopper, step filter, saturation ).
