#432498 - 10/06/17 06:03 AM [User Showcase] What A Crazy Thing ... (a co-write with floyd jane)
Registered: 10/31/08 Posts: 17774 Loc: Australia Noel96 Veteran Registered: 10/31/08 Posts: 17774 Loc: Australia	In 2012, floyd and I wrote a song called "What A Crazy Thing". I put the mix together and we posted it on the forum. In the 5 years since then, I've gained quite a bit more experience in mixing. I've also moved from the UltraPlus Pak version of BIAB with compressed audio files to the Audiophile edition with wav files. Because of these things, I thought it would be a fun exercise to re-visit the song and create a mix worthy of 2017. Here it is... What A Crazy Thing ...floyd and I hope you enjoy listening! All vocals, lead and background, are floyd's. Feel free to comment in any way on any aspect. As floyd says, "Have at it..." Regards, Noel P.S. It sounds best when the speaker volume is turned up a bit.

Are you using the new Ozone Neutron everyone seems to like? That said, its all about the song and the fun you guys had writing this comes through - in the clever lyrics that sound familiar and fresh at the same time,the boogie beat and of course trademark Floyd vocal and harmonies. A sweet collaboration in all respects. Robert

Charlie Hi Charlie, It's always a pleasure to see you! It took me by surprise to read that you weren't around in 2012. It seemed to me that you've been here for many years more than that. I guess that that means that you've settled into the place really well! Thanks for taking time to have a listen. And I appreciate the quotes. They gave me a good chuckle!

I joined the forum in 21 December 2012, so I missed the original by, I guess, a few months. Regardless, this just rocked my country roots and dang near had my headphones dancing off my ears. Too much fun (but that's okay!) and a lot spark. I enjoyed this from first note to last. Great collab!

We went in with high expectations...what not to expect other than excellence with Noel + floyd? And we assuredly were not disappointed. The groove just flows like like water down a mellow stream. Smooth and fluid. We will have to find and listen to the original which no doubt will be very good. All of us hope to achieve "sonic growth" over the years but when you start out with your talent it's a lot easier to achieve! Everything sounds superb to us...the RT choice, the arrangement, the write and vocals. And that Gene Kelly line in the first verse was super cool. WTG guys!!

I also used a dash of Nectar on floyds vocals. I was tempted to get Neutron when it was on special but I didn't. I'll see what happens next time the specials roll around.
