Soundcloud link: Drive

The "Xtra Styles" style used in this song is just what I was looking for to finish up this song. Hard driving, hot, and fun to work with.

There are two great guitar tracks in the style, but no lead guitar that would fit my needs. So I recorded a lead guitar track using a Fender Nashville Power Telecaster to finish up the song. Vocal is mine. The tracks were exported from BIAB to Reaper, vocal and guitar tracks added. This is probably NOT the final mix but it's pretty close to what I want.

BIAB info is below. However for those who would like to see the progression and other details here is a link to the actual BIAB file. I have the Xtra Styles pak loaded and the latest build of BIAB Everything prog on my computer. So if you get an error message check your BIAB installation.

Enjoy,
Bob

LYRICS:

Drive
© 2016 Bob Buford


(verse)
Sun’s coming up in my rearview
A new day’s coming on
I’m putting these wheels in the wind
Before anybody knows I’m gone

(chorus)
Well, I got to drive
I got to drive
There’s nothing else in this world makes me feel so alive
Lookin’ good, feelin’ strong
Baby, let’s just get gone
Wind it up, turn it on
I got to drive

(verse)
CDs piled in the backseat
Man, I love them good old songs
One little suitcase’ll do me
I’ve been shut down too long

(chorus)
I got to drive
I got to drive
There’s nothing else in this world makes me feel so alive
Lookin’ good, feelin’ strong
Baby, let’s just get gone
Wind it up, turn it on
I got to drive

(bridge)
When the sun comes up on Monday
I’m heading back in to town
And I’ll have all week long to daydream
Of me and this ragtop down

(chorus)
Drive
I got to drive
There’s nothing else in this world makes me feel so alive
Lookin’ good, feelin’ strong
Baby, let’s just get gone
Wind it up, turn it on
I got to drive
Wind it up, turn it on
I got to drive

I'm really enjoying your songs. Each is a very nice production and top notch write and arrangement. This one had some spunk to it..

Enjoyed my listen.

That’s the two things that gave me life, long driving with hard music
Brings it all back, surfboards on top of the old truck, down to Jeffreys Bay, 5hrs there, roar back to make Mon.
Creedence Clearwater reminding you what life was all about That is what your song was all about

Hi Paddy, Yes, exactly. And the road is still there, and the songs. Vehicle has changed but when you need to clear your head...nothing else works better, eh? grin

Bob,
Love the crashing opening chords- and it doesn`t back off from there. Your vocal sounds right in the pocket to me.
Short,catchy and irresistible!

Bob,

That is a very nice rocker, we didn't know that one can get such a sound out of BiaB smile
Really nicely done.

Bob,

- Wow, great rocker (loved that opening guitar sound)!
- Vocal sound was perfect
- Nice fat sounding mix
- Mmmmm - that guitar solo was wild! I'm so jealous of your Tele smile
- Nice key change

Were you using an amp modelling plugin with the Tele or micing up a real amp?

Thanks for including the SGU file. I will study it some more in BIAB.

Enjoyed the song,
Jez

AHHH the rock sounds are definitely ...the history of music ..well done and great vocals.

I did think the arrangement was too low ..if you lifted that ....?

As I thought your voice tho brilliant was too out front for rock.

And your band a bit distant ...balanced this would have had the Belter badge

from Glasgow...Scotland .


take care

Hi Jez,

The Tele was run through a Johnson J-station (multi-effects hardware) and straight into the board. Nothing fancy, BRIT COMBO amp model with compression and delay, slight reverb. Tele's don't need a lot of help.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
