So, since I am a really patriotic guy, but don’t find much to be patriotic about these days, I decided to write a song about my lovely patriotic wife, who represents the best of America to me, in too many ways to count.

I am a southern boy who ran off to New York City for a long time in his youth, but she is from Jersey. It is a beautiful thing. Jersey girls are the best. Just ask Tom Waits.

Anyway, in our house we stand for many American values. We also stand for parallel mastering. On this song, I tried a new trick I learned on YouTube that is based on a technique utilized by the famous engineer Andrew Scheps. What you do is, you create a secondary master buss where you additionally send all of the instrumental tracks except for the drums (which have their own buss), and then you add additional magic to that Secondary Master Buss (aka Rear Buss) that you place side by side with the master master buss. It just so happens that I have the Andrew Scheps Omni Channel plugin which I put on the secondary master buss.

Hope you enjoy this.

P.S.

I should also add that in my template, I also have an instrument buss that receives all of the instrument tracks minus drums with the effects that I'm using on those instruments. So really I have two rear busses. One is the buss where I send the instruments with their effects, and the additional Scheps buss receives those tracks as well with extra pixie dust applied. Then those find their way to the master buss.


AMERICAN MADE

V1

She says she’s from Jersey
And that’s ok by me
Cause she listens to Springsteen
And she was born to be free
And she’s friendly with Jesus
And she’s friendly with me
And she looks like a woman
In the sun or the shade
And whatever I owe her
She’s says she’s already paid

CH

And she’s American made
Sexy and strong
And she’s American made
So I wrote her song
Sings like an angel, and her love never fades
I thank God that she found me
What else can I say
She’s American made

V2

So I drove her to Pittsburgh
To see McCartney play
And she said that she loved me
When he sang Yesterday
And she’s a Rock ‘n Roll Mystery
She’s a Rock ‘n Roll song
And when I feel her kiss me
That’s where I belong

CH

And she’s American made
Sexy and strong
And she’s American made
So I wrote her song
Sings like an angel, and her love never fades
I thank God that she found me
What else can I say
She’s American made

V3

So I’m not watching TV
Until I’ve cast my vote
Cause all of those people
They’ll just be cutting my throat
I’d rather be with my sweet girl
By some mountain steam
Because inside of her heart
She’s my American Dream

CH

And she’s American made
Sexy and strong
And she’s American made
So I wrote her song
Sings like an angel, and her love never fades
I thank God that she found me
What else can I say
She’s American made
