Video: Don't Sell It, Don't Give it Away Audio: Don't Sell It, Don't Give it Away Four years ago Janice was still in transition from years of singing bluegrass to exploring new genres (thanks to BiaB!). We had been on this forum for only a few months, had yet to do our first collaboration and I had not discovered our current production software. "Don't Sell It" along with a couple of others at that time received some positive forum comments that help us believe it was worth our efforts to move into new genres. A month afterwards we completed our first collaboration (with floyd) and I began an endeavor to learn more about mixing, production software and songwriting and move beyond my decades of recording strictly bluegrass (old dog, new tricks stuff  ) We felt the tune would work with a video and deserved a new mix (hopefully, I have improved somewhat over the years!). So during the holidays I built this video and completely remixed the song moving all the tracks from GarageBand to Logic Pro X. We wanted to keep the solo/fill tracks the same so they weren't regenerated. Also Janice wanted to keep her old vocal as it is reflective of the time. The mix goal was to emulate an early Western Swing sound. Some of the first WS bands (1920's - 30's) had not yet added drums and used what we call a "sock rhythm" guitar and sometimes what bluegrassers call a "chop rhythm" mandolin along with the upright bass, fiddle and piano (the piano and fiddle tended to play pretty hot under the vocal...much more so than was done later on in WS). I included the following info in the original post. "We discovered the roots of this tune at PublicDomain4U listed under “folk blues.” Oscar Woods first recorded the tune and it is noted primarily for the fact that he played a National steel guitar in the lap Hawaiian style. This may be the beginning of many country and blues styles on this instrument. According to some reports he lived on until the 1950’s while others say that he disappeared in 1938. It's a shame so little is known about him. I played around with the lyrics to make them a bit less risqué and to make them from the female perspective (and added a minor chord)." Pardon the ramble, Happy New Year, and we always appreciate your time to listen and comment! J&B Janice: vocal (Blue USB mic) Bass Kickoff: Real Track 462 Jazz soloist Guitar: RealTrack 559 Jazz Rhythm - 4 to the bar. Mandolin: RealTrack 616 Country - bouncy rhythm Piano: RealTrack 450 Jazz - “A” only Piano: RealTrack 1865 Western Swing solo (comped from multiple RT generations) Fiddle: RealTrack 1296 Western Swing Rhythm Fiddle: RealTrack 1871 Western Swing Solo (comped from multiple RT generations) Mixed in Logic Pro Effects: Ozone 7 Advanced, Alloy 2, Nectar 2 and Logic Pro. The lyric is shown in the video.

Kenny Thanks Kenny. Glad you liked it and, yeah, it does a bit of the ole jump blues feel. I had so much Western Swing on my mind I hadn't thought of that. J&B

Bud & Janice,
Enjoyed the new (and previously) the old versions.
Nicely done - the video is engaging and the new mix sounds great.
The vocal work is superb and the song is expertly crafted.
Wonderful.

We don't remember hearing the first version of your song.
However this one sounds great. It has got a very Merry feeling to it all.
We love the piano real tracks that work very smoothly in the mix.
That blue USB mic is that the Blue yeti Mike? (Because I read some very positive comments on this microphone).
Very nice vocals by Janice! Bud, great lyric video, they're getting better every time.

Dear Janice & Bud...
Anything that makes me want to get up and dance is good! The song is irresistible.
It's exciting to imagine Band-in-a-Box playing a central role in the perpetuation and practice of music from "bygone" eras. It would make many of us BIAB users musicologists as well as musicians.
And thanks for introducing me to Mr. Oscar "Buddy" Woods, whom I had never heard of until I visited your post. Just when I think I've heard it all, I realize I haven't, and most likely never will, which is good, because it'll keep me listening...
Ms. Janice, you have a downright welcoming "come right on in!" kind of voice that would cause even the shyest wallflower to think twice before turning down an invitation to dance from the gal he was makin' eyes at from across the floor.
Thanks for making such happy-sounding music. "Happy (musical) New Year" to both of you!
"bluage"

Thanks you two and happy new year! Yes the mic is the Yeti Blue. It's an excellent mic. I don't use it as much as I did when we recorded this song because of I bought a Focusrite USB interface so that I could use a Rodes NT1 that we've had for some years. However, having revisited Janice's vocal on this remix I not sure that I can hear a difference. Thanks again! J&B

Always did like western swing and Janice's honky tonk bluesey
vocal sets the song off nicely.
Reminds me of the pre rock and roll records I used to listen to.
Enjoyed Oscar too. Cheers.

NEW! Style-style-style Additions and Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows!
With over 64 new features and enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019, we've made sure to add to, enhance, and update some of the Style features within the program: StylePicker, StyleMaker, and Song Titles browser within the StylePicker!
StylePicker Enhancements:
-If the style list needs rebuild, it tells you that within the StylePicker, instead of a message that requires a response.
-The rebuild is faster than before by 75%. It takes 1/4 of the time now.
-While the style list is being rebuilt, you can see the progress inside the StylePicker.
-The style list can be filtered by a specific RealTracks/RealDrums/MIDI SuperTracks or RealTracks/MIDI SuperTracks in a certain number range.
-You can filter the style list by a specific Xtra Styles PAK.
-The dialog to select an Xtra Styles PAK has a button to take you to the PG Music website that shows information about Xtra Styles PAKs.
-The StylePicker can list all styles (including N/A styles) in the default display.
-The Set number display is improved, including sort by type and Xtra styles.
StyleMaker Improvements:
-The new MIDI velocity offset allows you to make styles with altered loudness for MIDI tracks.
-Styles can be saved with information like a memo, examples, genres, and more, which will be displayed in the StylePicker.
-You can import information from another style. This is useful when you are making a similar style.
-A style can have a huge number of RealTracks (up to 70!) because the StyleMaker now supports RealTracks multi/medley feature, which allows a single track to have up to 10 simultaneous playing of RealTracks.
Song Titles Browser Enhancement
-We’ve added 300 more song titles including requests from users, so there are now over 10,600 titles.
-The chord density filter is available, and it’s also displayed in the memo.
-The chord complexity filter is available.
Review all the new features of Band-in-a-Box® 2019 here.
