I Still Do - RemixThis is a remix of the same song I posted several weeks ago. I removed the vocal harmony - it just didn't sound that good with it. I dropped a little lower-end EQ on the lead vocal and cleaned up a few individual words. I then very slightly brought the vocal more forward in the mix - not very much. Hopefully it resonates a little better now. Thanks for listening! And if you have time to listen to the original, tell me which one sounds better, in your opinion. Here's a link to the original, if you're interested: https://soundcloud.com/alananddi/i-still-doI Still Do © 2017 Alan D. David, BMI (v1) The sky gets gloomy, as the clouds roll in That’s when I know, you’re back in town in again The thunder rattles, and the leaves begin to shake The wind starts swirling, and frost begins to form Then lightning crackles, you’re the perfect storm The ground starts trembling, just like an earthquake CHORUS And when you left, I thought that was goodbye But now I know, I told myself a lie You made me hurt, and you treated me like dirt Oh I wish I didn’t love you But baby I still do (v2) Don’t know the reason, I can’t explain Why I still love you, when you caused me all that pain God only knows, why I wish you’d never gone I hear my heart, then I listen to my head They say forget you, find another love instead But I just can’t find a way, a way for moving on INSTRUMENTAL VERSE CHORUS And when you left, I thought that was goodbye But now I know, I told myself a lie You made me hurt, and you treated me like dirt Oh I wish I didn’t love you But baby I still do TAG Baby I still do File:I Still Do Key=F , Tempo 105, Length (m:s)=3:16 Style is _DRVCBAL.STY (Slow Driving Country Ballad ) RealTracks in style: 366:Bass, Electric, Country Ev 065 RealTracks in style: ~~703:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Spirited Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 803:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm DrivingCountryBalladClean Ev 065 RealTracks in style: 806:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm DrivingCountryBalladDirty Ev 065 RealTracks in song: ~669:Guitar, Slide, Background EasySouthern Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1669:Pedal Steel, Soloist CountryPaul Ev 120 RealDrums in style: NashvilleEven16^5-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride

Alan,
The changes are subtle - yes, the vocal cuts through the mix little more.
Its a really good song in both versions!

Robert Hello Robert, Thanks so much for the feedback. The changes were intended to be rather subtle as I was fairly happy with the original version but thought the mix could be better. The main goal was to give the vocal a little more space and definition. I appreciate you taking the time to listen to both versions and give me your thoughts - many thanks. Wishing you the best, Alan

Would say that I love the changes you made, and that I prefer your newest version. <3 It all just fits so nicely together and has a nice fluidity to it. Thanks for sharing!

I see I "liked" it over on soundcloud back when you first posted it, but I went back to have another listen to refresh my memory.
Vocal sounds much better this time around! The remix was well worth doing IMHO.

Hi Dave, Thanks for the feedback. I thought the newer vocal sounded better but wanted to get some outside opinions. And thanks for the "like" on the original version - really appreciate that! best to you. Alan

Good job on this Alan  While the differences are subtle, the mixing job on the second version trumps the original I would say. Either way, it is definitely an enjoyable tune! I like the arrangements, and the groove of the whole thing. I liked the lyrics a lot too - they really helped it set a mood. Thanks so much for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

I like the arrangements, and the groove of the whole thing. I liked the lyrics a lot too - they really helped it set a mood. Thanks so much for sharing Thanks a bunch, Deryk! The remix was intended to be just that - subtle. I was fine with the instrumental tracks but thought the vocal was cluttered and buried in the mix. Glad the small adjustments seem to work for you. Thanks for letting me know. Best to you and all the fine folks at PG Music. Alan

A good write, Alan. The mix is good - vocal really stands out.
I enjoyed the steel solo, too...
Well done.

Thanks Floyd. Glad you enjoyed it. the remix brought the vocals a little more forward and I trimmed some of the lower EQ from it. Appreciate the visit and feedback. Best to you and yours. Alan

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."
