#259174 - 08/11/14 05:08 PM [User Showcase] Still Workin' On My Mixology Chops
Registered: 07/12/14 Posts: 57 Loc: Redding, CA George Ireton Enthusiast Registered: 07/12/14 Posts: 57 Loc: Redding, CA	Still a rank rookie here. This is my third post. Down In The Willow Garden is a traditional Irish tune. I thought it would be a cool instrumental to include while playing at senior care residences etc. While there are a great many lyrics and stanzas to this song, I chose to make a short instrumental intro with the Ukelele, playing the traditional theme of “Down In The Willow Garden” followed by a full version of “Sally Garden Reel”. Used BIAB to start, then tweaked er' in RB. Mixing with headsets is not the best. Appreciate your observations. _________________________ Learn more about my music at: http://georgeireton.com/music-then-now

The last guitar that comes in (on the left) is panned pretty far over, while the other guitar (on the right) is less so (meaning not all the over) - causing the balance to "lean a little left". I think it would work slightly better if you brought that left one in some. The bass sounds good centered. The fiddle is good slightly to the left of center (it sounds like about 15-20L ?) Try setting the guitars the same amount either side (like 35-40L and 35-40R)... just suggestions, of course.. I did enjoy the song.. floyd _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Somewhere with somebody in the distant past I played a version of the song. It's a nice melody. _________________________ Featured Song J&B Soundcloud J&B YouTube J&B Website

I must reveal that I have a flair for Irish (and Scottish) music so immediately as you started I was carried back to the green Island again !:)) The intro is in fact also quite interesting as it sounds Japanese !!!!!:)) Cheers Dani PS George, you won´t be a rookie for long, sooner than you think you´ll be a veteran over here too !!:)) Edited by dani48 (08/13/14 04:02 PM)

I find it much easier to hear how the stereo field is progressing in the mix by using them. This instrumental was a great listen. You had me tapping my toes!

Upgrading to Band-in-a-Box® 2020 is Easy!

Did you know... anyone who has owned a previous version of Band-in-a-Box® is entitle to upgrade pricing - you do not need to have your old version installed!

Maybe you used to own the Windows version, but you now have a Mac... that's not a problem either!
(or if you owned the Mac version, and now you have a Windows computer)

In both cases, you would purchase from the "Upgrade from 2018 or earlier or crossgrade" row here for a new Mac version, or here if you want the newest Windows version. Just need to upgrade your 2019 version? Use the "Upgrade from 2019/2020" row.

When you purchase your upgrade from either of these rows, you will receive a complete installation - just follow the steps of the setup, and your Band-in-a-Box® will be ready to use!

PG Music Inc. shopping cart accounts were not required to purchase from our website prior to October 29, 2014. With that in mind, you may have to create an account in order to upgrade - that's OK! You'll still be entitled to upgrade pricing.
