I've heard your mixes, and they're stellar!

And if I put a bit more thought into the arrangement and didn't try for such an overstuffed production, mixing would be less of a chore. crazy

You snagged that 70's groove and the soundstage is great on our monitors.

It's good to hear you liked the mix. I can't really take credit for most of the work, so I'll pass it on to my son.

The use of BiaB along with the myriad other products is amazingly well done.

There are some groovy 70's RTs I've been itching to use ever since I've heard them in the BiaB demo tracks. I'm glad I was finally able to put them to use.

I'm still on the fence about Jamsticks, but since I paid for it, I should figure out how to use it. What really sold me on the software was the 60's style drummer emulations. So using them for something like that's on my "To Do" list.

The horns are really standout.

The horns ended up working better than I expected. I'm not a particularly good player, and certainly not fast. Fortunately the backing track was busy, so the horns could be slow in contrast.

But I tend to forget that many classic horn parts on songs are just sax and trumpet. So I'll try to keep that in mind going forward.

And they're a lot easier to play and record on the EWI than using the real thing! With a small house filled with people, there doesn't seem to be any good time to practice horn around here.

This should be a good tune to place on the sync libraries.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
