Thanks Robh. I used Sonar X1 Producer for awhile but went back to Reaper. IMO, I feel more comfortable with Reaper and it does not have the bulk of Sonar. I cannot comment on the midi aspect, because I rarely use any midi. Thanks for your comments and the listen.

Hello Robh and occ.
Thanks for the thumbs up and taking out time to listen. Sometimes I wish I had a little gravel in my voice to add a touch more character, but alas! I have my studio down due to a revamp. I really miss writing and recording. I should be back up in the next couple of days.

Radio Ready all the way.

Great lyrics, backing track and vocal. Super RT selection also. Plus it’s mastered like a pro would do IMHO.

Two thumbs up.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

I have updated the link for this song. Does anyone know of a way to edit the original post?

Hi Marty,

I've just had another listen. This new mix is absolutely brilliant. You've captured the soul of the song really, really well through the arrangement, your excellent singing, and your very skillful mastering. You should try and get this song in movies!

One small thing that I noticed on my sound system, and I'm passing it on for what it's worth, is that some of the ess sounds seemed a little over processed and were sounding more like "th" than "s".

One thing that I picked up from a seminar that I once went to with Stephen Webber (a grammy award winning producer and professor at Berklee College) was that he manually subtracts the "ess" sound using equalization. Steve's argument was that using a de-esser subtracts brilliance from the whole vocal line and he prefers not to do that.

For a while I used to do what Steve suggested but I discovered in Reaper that volume envelopes with the "sqaure" point shape do the job really well. What I now do in my mixes is to go through and manually adjust all the ess sounds; they're very easy to identify on the graphic display and it usually takes about 15 mins to adjust them. I then sometimes add a little touch of de-esser, although that's rare these days. Below is an image of how I de-ess.



If you're already aware of the above process, please forgive me for boring you!

All the best,
Noel

Hi Noel.
Thanks for the tip. I will try the volume envelope trick on my future mixes. Thanks for your input and for listening.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
