Groove Dat Pie on Soundcloud
Groove Dat Pie on YouTube A song about enjoying your weekend after a long week of working just to pay some rich guys bills. Style is _SUMP.STY (Sump Grooving New Orleans Piano) RealTracks in style: 4493:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewOrleansSwampSw16 sw16 090 RealTracks in style: 2621:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Swing16WahWah Sw16 085 RealTracks in song: 2819:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm RnBSoulSw16Brent Sw16 085 RealDrums in style:FunkNewOrleansSw16: a: Snare, HiHat b: BusySnare, Kick was used in the redesign in EZDDrummer. Dave Bell (Blue Attitude) played guitar. Bill Davis (zydecoal) played washboard and sang some harmonies. I played bass, guitar and sang. There are 74 active tracks in the mix, 18 with at least one envelope. Although there are 5 Buses, it was crazy to mix –or maybe the crazy part was me. There are 19 drum tracks, and 12 audience tracks, 2 vocal and 8 harmony tracks. Here's a page explaining the audience reactions Groove Dat PieI'm filled with gumbo and headin' into town. Gotta catch the groovey train and see who's gettin' down. I worked all week in the rythnm of the grind. Gotta clear those cobwebs from my mind. Groove dat pie, melodious fish fry. Groove dat pie. Slice me off a piece o' dat New Orleans beat. Gotta taste that groovy pie, That rhythm sounds sweet. I worked all week, and felt my life would end. Gonna feel alive once again. Groove dat pie, that good ol' NOLA pie. Groove dat pie. I hear that rhyhtm and my feet just got to dance. That's why I come into this town on weekend nights. The music's never over cuz we won't give it a chance. We dance all night then through daylight. (Groove dat Groove dat Groove dat pie groo-grove dat Groove dat Groove dat Groove dat pie groo-grooooove)x2 I work all week just to pay some rich guy's bills. On weekends I just want to fly. I worked alone in the dead night, so now I wanna groove dat pie. Last line: Groove dat pie, that good ol' second line. Groove dat pie.

Marty,
Wow! Love the live feel of this one! The vocals are excellent and sound like you are singing to thousands at a festival. Incredible mix. Dave and Bill sound awesome as well.
74 tracks! I can’t even begin to imagine. LOL! What a tremendous production.
Loved every bit of it!
Bob

Marty & Team,
Positive and big sounding tune! You've assembled a fine band (I am talking about real guys). Nice playing by all! Vocals are a bit distant, as likely most big performances, but powerful. Washboard definitely gives this a cool flavor. 74 tracks.... not a joke! Good job in mixing this wilderness. Enjoyed my listed and thank you for sharing.
Misha.

I had to log in just reading the title of this one. That guitar at 3 nearly killed me...it's my favorite guitar sound of all time. I'm getting ready to goove dat pie. Not what you think!!! I have a pie crust ready to bake. Just haven't landed on what to fill it with yet...blueberries, banana cream, chocolate?
PS: I will never complain about having an unmanageable 20 something tracks ever again.

Pretty cool fake live atmosphere, it's really well done. Even with Google translate I absolutely do NOT get what your song's about, but I don't have to because this is soooo cool. Great work from everyone involved  ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) 74 tracks are insane. I usually have around 20 (and about 10 buses to keep things manageable).

Marty, masterful job capturing the wild fun of Nawlins music. Not easy to tame that many tracks while maintaining clarity AND not loosing the almost-off-the rails feel. Super performances by all, but those vocals are insanely good.
FWIW, we're planning a trip back to the Big Easy next month...

Hi, Marty. That's an insane number of tracks!  You've nailed that live party sound. Fun listen! ...oh, and the band rose in popularity when "grove dat pie" became a PTO-approved euphemism for sex.Hahahahahaha!

Gentlemen, dat is some groovy pie!
Love the groove
As usual the vocal, bass, guitar lead, and mix are spot on.
I really liked this one.

ACE work Marty, Dave & Bill!
The human elements lift this into the stratosphere...or is that "stratocasts this"?
BIG sound from a big mix - I bet the screen stunned your eyes more than once.
The "Groove that" bvocs seemed, once or twice to get in the way of the superb lead vocal but it did give the live feel a nudge up too.
Loved it.
Cheers

Marty,
You and your cohorts have a great song and production on your hands. Sounds like it was recorded live at a county fair. Well,, 74 tracks is a bit much! But you managed each expertly - hats off for that!
SInce I don't use a DAW, the envelopes and buses don't mean much to me - other an envelope will eventually get my letter delivered, and a bus will get me across town for a buck-and-a-half. I just wing it with BIAB and Audacity - literally.. But this is pro-sounding stuff! Excellent woprk.

74 tracks! I can’t even begin to imagine. LOL! What a tremendous production.

Bob Thanks, Bob. 74 seems like a lot, but with all of those drum tracks and audience tracks, I thought it would be easier. But I spent way too much time with them. Marty & Team,
Positive and big sounding tune! You've assembled a fine band (I am talking about real guys). Nice playing by all! Vocals are a bit distant, as likely most big performances, but powerful. Washboard definitely gives this a cool flavor. 74 tracks.... not a joke! Good job in mixing this wilderness. Enjoyed my listed and thank you for sharing.
Misha. Thanks, Misha. It was crazy fun for sure. Yeah, that washboard is subtle, but if you mute it, there's a big hole where it was. 73 tracks (although the Sheldon Prime number) just wouldn't cut it. I had to log in just reading the title of this one. That guitar at 3 nearly killed me...it's my favorite guitar sound of all time. I'm getting ready to goove dat pie. Not what you think!!! I have a pie crust ready to bake. Just haven't landed on what to fill it with yet...blueberries, banana cream, chocolate?
PS: I will never complain about having an unmanageable 20 something tracks ever again. Haha. Thanks, Beth. Hey, if I can mix 74 tracks into my pie, surely you could mix all 3 of your choices into your pie. Sounds yummy. Marty...great production! love the live feel and effects...I love virtual audiences don't you? They are so kind and receptive! Super job as usual with you and Dave...everything fit in the mix to create a great soundscape...always love the videos!! Haha. Thanks, Dan. Yeah, you're right about audience appreciation in the virtual world. I once did one for Midnight Train where the guitar soloist had a roaring applause while the harmonica player only got a smattering.

Sounds like a good time in NOLA! Personally I may be getting a little long in the tooth for day drinking and all night partying but believe you me I know a good time when I hear it. 74 tracks? That’s a crazy amount of time and energy spent. But it sure sounds like fun. Good job to you and the band. Movin and shaking my way out of here.

Superb mix and arrangement, plus great use of the audience sound effects! Thanks, Chay. I forgot to mention credit for most of those audience tracks goes to freesound.org; the others where from me. Pretty cool fake live atmosphere, it's really well done. Even with Google translate I absolutely do NOT get what your song's about, but I don't have to because this is soooo cool. Great work from everyone involved 74 tracks are insane. I usually have around 20 (and about 10 buses to keep things manageable). Haha. Thanks, Brain. The only thing fake was the audience. All Real Tracks and real people --oh, yeah, except the drummer. Google does have its limitations.  Marty, masterful job capturing the wild fun of Nawlins music. Not easy to tame that many tracks while maintaining clarity AND not loosing the almost-off-the rails feel. Super performances by all, but those vocals are insanely good.
FWIW, we're planning a trip back to the Big Easy next month... Thanks, Ron. Yes, much fun for sure. Hey, man, I wish it was just a few years ago for me. We would definitely meet you there. Try this one night, say around midnight: play this song on one of the side streets in the French Quarter and see if it draws a crowd. Hahaha. At least I could say it was played in NOLA. Don't forget to setup a tip jar. Naw, have a great time!! Send pix. Hi, Marty. That's an insane number of tracks! You've nailed that live party sound. Fun listen! ...oh, and the band rose in popularity when "grove dat pie" became a PTO-approved euphemism for sex.Hahahahahaha! Haha AH, David, you took the deep dive into the audience file. AND you recognized the PTO police. Yeah, the same ones who insist every kid gets a trophy and the bus stops at ever kid's front door.

Wow, ambitious project! Really liked the energy in this. Had me tapping my feet. Was playing my harmonica to it. Can't do any better than that. Great job!

“There are 74 active tracks in the mix, 18 with at least one envelope.
Although there are 5 Buses, it was crazy to mix –or maybe the crazy part was me.
There are 19 drum tracks, and 12 audience tracks, 2 vocal and 8 harmony tracks.”
Help! How do we stop the head spinning?
Man, we time out after 8 tracks or so. Wow.
We enjoyed the vibes that are similar to Dr. John and even some early Little Feat.
Bill’s washboard and harmony fits in a fine mix along with your and Dave’s excellent performances.
(Dave’s solo is happy per Janice. 😊 )
Thanks for the explanation of the audience reaction.
In addition to the crowd sounds it made us feel as though Scotty beamed us right there to your concert.
FUN!
