I wrote & recorded this tune a good while back... I can't remember which BIAB style or tracks I used, but I did play some keyboard parts, and a lot of guitar licks, including the first two Solos.
Any feedback is always welcome. Thanks for listening.

You do a fantastic job melding live instruments with RealTracks. And your vocals are unreal good. Guitar solos were terrific! Can't say enough good things about what you've presented so far on the forum!

For me, this is a really cool song. I like the whole thing. It would be nice if you would post the lyrics. "cling to your religion, take your gun and go underground" cool line.

bloc-head,

A very cool song. Excellent tracks - a shame you do not remember the BIAB tracks used - would love to know what RealDrums that is...

Excellent vocals. Excellent use of BIAB.

A very good mix - sounds great in the phones.

Good music. A great listen. Cool!!!

I do so appreciate the use of the "phones"... the drums sound sound like a "New Orleans Groove thing" I just can't remember... I should write this stuff down... I don't even have a copy of the lyrics... Thanks big time, for the listen...

What a cool song and a great delivery of the goods! The b/g tracks are very busy yet do not step on each other - not easy to do! Each stays in its own path and shines. But you pulled it off magnificently. What a great mix!!! Loved that crisp ending!!!

I love everything about this! Congrats on a truly wonderful production. Happy New Year.

This wonderful song came on as I was listening to Soundcloud, and it immediately grabbed my attention. What a great build to the intro. Then in comes the vocals. WOW! Love the melody, and the amazing instrumentation --the whole production and mix is perfect. Background singers really add a huge chunk of goodness, too.


Enjoy whatever happens!

bloc-head,

This is great stuff!! That guitar in the intro is so captivating! Everything here is setting in the sweet spot in the mix! Your vocals are pro all the way! Loved the guitar solo! All the little background vocal touches are executed with precision! Very good music! Thanks, Torrey

Funky build of an intro. Vocals are good, vocoder-ish harmonies are cool.

Guitar licks are ear-catching, and you did an excellent job weaving of all those bits into a sonic tapestry.

I like this one a lot!

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