Hi, Alan. Smooth jazz, cohesive song, love the FX processing. And no, your notes weren't too long. It's interesting to see what sort of things people consider during production - especially if it's something I've never though of.  Hi David, Thanks for the listen and nice comments. This is my first attempt to use those particular plug-ins. I just played around with them until I got the sound I wanted. And I was very happy with how it all sounded. I'm glad the info I added was interesting to you. Since these effects were so different from anything I'd previously used, I thought I'd let the listener know what i did and why. i did have a preconceived idea of what I wanted, and it came out pretty close. Again, many thanks. Alan & Di

Alan, you are a master of the genre. Your experimentation with the plugins paid dividends. It all works seamlessly and is mixed to perfection. I used to drive home from late night gigs after playing honky-tonk country and blues at ear destroying volumes for hours and I would listen to smooth jazz to help wind down. In addition to all the guitarists you mentioned, two of my big ones were Hiram Bullock and my all time favorite Robben Ford. Great job on this one, Tom

In addition to all the guitarists you mentioned, two of my big ones were Hiram Bullock and my all time favorite Robben Ford. Great job on this one, Tom Hi Tom, Made that drive many times! We'd get done at one am, break our equipment down, and load it in the car. Then we'd go to a 24-hour restaurant for our dinner meal. Then we'd sit around the table and talk a bunch of that everyone else knew were lies! And then get home around 3:30. After a quick shower, it would be close to 4 o'clock. Anywhere from three to five nights a week, depending on exactly when. But those were some great times, though! the last time I played in a band was in 2004. It was a small lounge in a suburb of St. Louis. I never used plug-ins until recently - well, some reverb, compression, and - when needed - some distortion. Put those are ones just about everyone uses at one time or another. But the phase, flange, and cross-tracking were new to me. I had a good time playing around with them. I'd forgotten about Robben Ford until you mentioned him. Thanks a bunch for the kind words. Sure do appreciate them! Happy New Year! Alan & Di

Well done!
Sounds like a group of folks who've played together for years.
We have a great set of monitors and your mix set up a find soundstage on them.
Love the vibe and the production!
Happy New Year,
J&B
PS BTW, we have a suite of plugins from Waves, izotope and Logic Pro.
Part of our fun in mixing is finding the "right" plugin settings for each production.

Hey Alan,
I really enjoyed this instrumental and it was the perfect backdrop to reading about what you did with the plug-ins and why. This was very helpful and I really appreciate you taking the time to jot it down for others to learn.
Na zdrowie!
Dewey
