Hi Alan,
I actually did have delay and also reverb on the vocal.
I'm always cautious about adding too much reverb, that's a rookie mistake.
But you were right, once I added a bit more it sounded much better and sat in the mix better too.
So, thanks! smile

Rock on you two! This is tremendous.

It sounds great on our monitors and I know it will on the "big" system also...look forward to that this evening.

This absolutely nails what we now call classic rock (but retaining a hint of the blues). Hits all the buttons for us.

The vocal is so strong as are the guitars...even the nuances like the tremolo. floyd mentioned the segue from the solo to the vocal...very tasty.

Kudos y'all!!!!

What a fun and catchy song Dave. Love the arrangements, guitars, vocals, everything.

This sounds like a live blues jam captured at a club.

Jam-packed full of soul man. Love that guitar!

Very very good!

Thanks very much, Robert!

Liked the overall mix, and the organ component.

Enjoyed my listen.


Yes, the vocal was a little too dry. I've fixed that, sounds better now. Thanks for the comments!

Played it loud. It's the kind of song that's hard for me to listen to the lyrics, because I get caught up in the groove. laugh

Enjoyable listen!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks very much, Herb! Yeah, I didn't want that tremolo guitar to be featured too much. I thought it would be more effective if it just came in every so often instead of chugging away throughout the entire song.

Great work and thanks for sharing smile


Thanks, Deryk!

Well, for me the rock that I enjoy listening to the most has a hint of the blues. And as far as my own stuff goes it will always be there, I'm a much better blues guy than a rock guy smile

Thanks for noticing the little things too like the tremolo smile

Man, I have to say how much I enjoyed this song! I thought the drums started the song to set the mood but THEN the guitar came in and really said "listen up!"

I really do like every part of the song; but want to especially say how much I enjoyed the guitar parts. You have a great hook going on and built so well around it. THEN THAT SOLO! Ohhhhh how I loved the tone and melodic choices you made. Sa-WHEEEET!

Thanks for sharing this gem. Even if we got it a little later than some of the rest of the world. wink

Dave,



To my ears this is that classic rock sound at it's very best! Your playing is superb (as it always is). I also found myself captivated by Chris's lyrics, her singing and her melody.

Everything about this sits snugly and creates a really entertaining musical feast.

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

All the best,
Noel

Classic rock at its absolute best!

This reminded me a lot of those Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper Albums, its that good. Great work on the vocals, drums and off course your excellent guitar chops. The mix was perfect IMHO.

Keep on rocking!


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.

Man, talk about an underrated guitarist! Mike Bloomfield never got the credit he deserved IMHO, and he was as good as if not better than his contemporaries of the day, Clapton etc. Just a superb player! And those albums with Al Kooper were great.

Always great to hear from a fellow guitarist, thanks Mario!

Dave and Chris, what a great groove you have going on in this song! Everything about this song is pro all the way! As usual, the vocals are outstanding and the guitar work is as good as it gets! What I have a great appreciation for in listening to this song is the way you crafted your guitar work around the vocalist not overshadowing Chris but complementing with your playing! Your work inspires me to take it up a notch! Thanks, Torrey

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."
