Wow, fantastic use of BIAB! Great song sung well. Whistling was a little shrill through my cans. I'm a fan!

Chad,
Nice song. Good vocal. Engaging.
Nice use of the BAND. Tracks fit the song well.
The panning of instruments is wide. Personal preference, I would pan a little less "hard" to allow some "blending" of the band members.
Enjoyed the song. Welcome to the Showcase.

Hi Chad ...
Welcome to forum. You'll find some exceptionally talented folks here.
This is a wonderful song! Great lyric and backing tracks. Your voice fits the song perfectly. Really nice!
I do agree with Floyd that the backing tracks are panned just a bit wide. But, it didn't detract from a really nice listen!
Wish I could whistle like that!
Also, that's one of the best uses of accordion I've heard in a very long time ... sweet!
Wishing you the very best. Have a great holiday and be safe ...
Alan

Thank you for the welcome Alan! I will have a close listen to the width and dial it in a little. Question: so hard to describe, but would a proper width have one just able to decipher a difference in each channel or a little wider? for most instruments and maybe vocals centered? I did not know this resource/forum existed, so happy to be part of it now.
Chad

I noticed that my BIAB MEMO includes acoustic guitar....I did not use that track as I replace the guitar parts.

I waited for a while before commenting. I had to battle my silly sensibilities ...I read Cracks On My Wind Shield and, immediately, my brain debated ON versus IN. I had to let that internal dialogue work its way through.
Cool song, good band.
I'm a fan of marking the edges of the stereo image through wide panning a couple of instruments.
I'm also a fan of old fashioned stereo imaging with the bass, kick and vocals up the middle.
Good voice too.
Cheers

Hey thanks. That did not even cross my mind until you mentioned the ‘on’ vs ‘in’. In is likely the proper use of language but not sure which would be more commonly used. So after thinking more on this i think ‘cracks ON my windshield’ sounds better. Possibly because if ‘IN’ was used it would sound awkward when combined with ‘wINdshield’
Thanks for this thought
Chad
