#311090 - 09/20/15 04:17 PM [User Showcase] Trouble In Mind
Registered: 12/05/11 Posts: 6450 Loc: GA USA Janice & Bud Veteran Registered: 12/05/11 Posts: 6450 Loc: GA USA	Trouble In Mind Trouble in mind is a public domain song* that has been recorded by hundreds of artists (from Janis Joplin to Johnny Cash). We played it with our bluegrass band years ago and thought it would be fun to do a more bluesy version now that BiaB has given us such a fine array of bands We chose a minimalist arrangement with a bit of a mashup regarding RT and RD choices. Like so many of these traditional songs many of the verse variations are a bit vague and rhyme schemes are sketchy but we tried to select some verses (of the many) that hung together somewhat. As always we appreciate your time to listen and we appreciate any and all comments. J&B Vocal: Janice Drums: Nashville Shuffle Bass: 2435 New Orleans Shuffle Guitar: 2436 New Orleans Shuffle Piano: Comped from multiple generations of 2124 Country Shuffle Rhythm and 2123 Country Shuffle Solo Bud: Mix/Master/Effects via Logic Pro X, Nectar 2, Ozone 6 and Waves LinMB Trouble In Mind I felt like laying my head On some lonesome railroad line, And letting the 219 train Ease my troubled mind. Trouble in mind, Lord I'm blue Honey I won't be blue always, The Sun's gonna shine in my, Shine in my back door someday. I'm goin' down to the river, Gonna take me a rockin' chair. And if these blues don't leave me, I’ll rock on away from here. Trouble in mind, Lord I'm blue Honey I won't be blue always, The Sun's gonna shine in my, Shine in my back door someday. I'm all alone, I'm alone at midnight, The lamp is burnin low I never had so much trouble In my whole life before Trouble in mind, I’m blue, now, I won't be blue always. That wind's gonna come, It's gonna blow my blues away Yeah, that wind’s gonna come It’s gonna blow my blues away © 2015 Trad Arr Janice & Bud Merritt *Archive.org www.janiceandbud.com _________________________ Never grow up...it's a trap.

Shamelessly stealing your bass player man, offered him $5 more a gig and a six pack of beer to take home. And the song, great performance, arrangement, mix and production. Enjoyed this one.

I need sumpin' for the coming weeks for sure. Anyway at the first few listens the change of tempo at 21secs threw me with the plosive at the start of the word trouble, In my ears it sounded like a bit of a vicious edit BUT at subsequent listens it got better . Wish I could have put the song on repeat tho' Janice soon settled into her normal exquisite vocals at every listen. Your version stands up proud with Nina Simone's and Johnny Cash's versions and is better than Janis Joplin's version IMHO. A good way to spend 2.18. An excellent version and "the band" played good!

Excellent at every level. Charlie Thanks Charlie! With our original arrangement Janice was going to play rhythm mandolin and I was going to dust off the bass fiddle and play a walking line. But the acoustic solo sw RTs were a bit too country for the sound we wanted; however, I stumbled into the NO guitar and bass and it changed the whole approach to the song. Yep, it's a great bass RT and even has a slight tuba feel. And with BiaB you can have the bass man on the cheap and he'll always be on time. J&B _________________________ Never grow up...it's a trap.

There's nothing quite like launching straight into vocals to grab attention. VERY impressive. Bud, the mix is magnificent, perfect. I can't imagine any better framework than the instruments you used. You really know how to get the best out of Realtracks. In a phrase... exceptional in every way! All the best, Noel recent song: Walk With Me _________________________ LINKS TO MY BIAB/RB SONGS audios on Soundcloud videos on VIMEO

Alyn Thanks Alyn and we hope things are going well with you. FWIW, I don't hear the pop on trouble but I have very old and worn out ears I use a breath controller on Janice's vocals to reduce (not eliminate) the breath intake before lines so I'll check to see if it is clipping the first nanosecond of the word. Dunno...but glad that you liked it! Bud _________________________ Never grow up...it's a trap. Our 2018 album release J&B YouTube Sampler J&B Website

Maybe my ears need looking at Although I have noticed that the vol control on my computer was at 100% when I normally have it at 75 or less. Anyway still an excellent version.

(that's the best example I can come up with for perfection!) Apologies if all my comments sound the same for your songs, but I have a limited vocabulary in terms of superlatives. I use my whole stash on every song! Bud, I hope you already know how highly I esteem the many talents you bring to all of your projects! Your skill in mixing, RT choices, song research, lyric writing etc etc have been proven over and over again! Congratulations to both of you on yet another piece of well-produced ear candy!

I cannot imagine a better treatment for this song. Nice work, Bud - truly. You need to get a YouTube video out there, so that when people search for this song by others, they find yours, too.

Notation Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows!

There are Notation Enhancements in the NEW Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows! These include:
•A new button in the Print Options dialog which lets you quickly print a "chords only" fake sheet. You can also access this from the right-click menu on the chord sheet.
•A new track type (Drums) is now available for The Melody and Soloist tracks.
•Clicking close to a stave line will put a note on the stave line instead of between stave lines. (Previously, you had to click extremely close to a stave line to insert a note on The line.)
•Double-clicking on the Standard mode Notation window (or on the time line in Editable or Staff Roll mode) plays the song from the current time location. Previously, it played the song from the beginning of the current bar.
•Holding down the [Ctrl] key and pressing the zoom in/out buttons results in finest possible incremental adjustment in size.
•In The Notation Windows Options dialog, The clefs split point asterisk indicates that C5* is middle C.
•Pressing The space bar plays the song from the current time location, not the current bar.
•The clefs split point can be set by the spin controls.
•The right-click menu in the Editable or Staff Roll mode Notation window has an option to change the current beat resolution. Previously, the only way to do this was to right-click on the time line.
•There's a keystroke entry notation mode - the 'N' mode, which lets you enter a melody entirely using keystrokes. The keystrokes are N to enter a note, up/down cursor to change its pitch, and left/right cursor to move the time line.
•You can now edit any track in the Event List Editor. When The dialog opens, it will show you the MIDI data in the current Notation track.
•You can quickly enter forced accidentals from the right-click menu.

We talk about these new features within our Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows®! New Features, RealTracks, and other content! video:
