Dang, but that sounds excellent. I see why Floyd asked about the bass - everything in the mix comes across clear, yet sits in it's place so well. Wow!
Of course, stellar singing and guitar playing.
Really good! Thanks for stopping by, David!

Beautiful work Dave and Chris! I love the way this moves! The separation between the instruments is great! Everything in this production is clean and clear! The guitar playing and sound is as good as it gets! Chris's vocal is flawless! This is pro level as far as I'm concerned! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Dave,
You and Chris have done it again!
I don't know how you keep on raising the bar. I already thought that you'd taken it as high as it can go... but I seem to be wrong. All I can do now is to keep on add "+" after A. I think this has to be around A++++++++++++ by now.
This is a great sound. I love that bass. The clarity that you have achieved is awesome. It's so easy to hear each note.
Everything about this sizzles. Everything.
Chris's vocals are excellent, and then some, and her writing is very very strong. I love the chorus and how the lyrics and melody flow.
However I look at this, it's mind-bogglingly good!
All the best,
Noel

hey dave and chris great tune everything fits perfect love the vocal and they way you mix your songs great work thanks eric Thanks, Eric! Dave,
Well, that’s a heck of a way to finish the year . . . and another terrific vocal by Chris. Your guitar work slays as usual. For some reason this reminds me of a Heart song . . . it has an 80’s vibe to it that’s really engaging. Great work all around!
Kind regards,
Deej
Thanks for the listen, Deej!

Awesome production. I have a zillion Waves plug-ins but.....  For you guys we really need a template full of superlatives that we can post for your tunes...actually even before we hear the tune and still be accurate! Amongst much goodness we always note how perfectly you sit Chris' vocals and your guitars in the mix. Easy to say...hard to nail (at least for many of us). Chris' lyrics are never overwrought and like this one are so expertly crafted for her cool vocal chops. And your guitar? What more can be said...great playing and tone that is always tempered by an abundance of taste. Nice! J&B Thanks as always Janice and Bud! As far as mixing goes there are a few people here that I always listen extra closely too when it comes to how they mix the song, and you are one of those guys. Your mixes are always top notch in my opinion.

I love when you come whipping in with the solo and really deliver the goods! Great collab you got going on, it just works! Thanks! We have fun with it, that is the most important thing I think.

Hi Dave,
Now this is my kind of music!
Loved the guitar work and Chris's vocal is sublime.
Having a few hearing problems at the moment, so it's hard for me
to comment on the mix, but what I hear sounds great.
Very professional all round.
ROG. Hey ROG, Thanks for the listen and comments. Very good to see you here again!

Your guitar solo is K-A.
What a rolling rocker!
Great vocal --Chris is always right on the money.
The guitar work energizes this song and gives it powerful momentum. Thanks, Scott!

Very nice to notice how naturally you can write also a fast blues rock song. Nice intro, very memorable hook riff through the song, great guitar sound (and playing of course) in the solo parts. Mix, lyrics and Chris's vocals are hit list quality once more.

Hi Dave,
I missed this song I noticed. Very sorry for that! Especially because it is a very good bluesy rocker. a good beat, very nice solo and -of course- outstanding vocalperformance by Christine.
What can I say to let you learn from my critics? Nothing. It's just a very good song. It has everything in it. i can only learn from you how to mix my songs...
Hans Hi Hans, No worries about missing the song, very easy to miss a song these days with so much new material being added everyday. Mixing is an ongoing process for me, always something new to learn. But, fun! Thanks for the listen and comments, I appreciate it.

Nice groove. This is some good stuff. You are getting the vocal right. Easy to hear and understand and it sets nicely in the mix.
The guitar: nice playing and that tone sounds like a straight up humbucker into a 50w or less tube amp cranked up to the edge but not over the top. Just curious.... what is the setup? I do like that tone. Just the right amount of grit in the speakers.
Hi Herb, To answer your gear questions, the guitar on this song is a homemade strat I built using a body and neck I bought from Warmoth. The pickups are from lace sensor, they are single coils but are noiseless and high output. It is playing though the S-Gear amp sim, I’ve been using that for a few years now ever since Tom Adams turned me onto it. And I fed that through the CLA Guitars plugin. My favourite setup when I used to play out was straight into a tube amp, in my case I used a 40 watt Fender Blues Deluxe which I still have, and that is the sound I try and emulate with the amp sim. I think I get pretty close. Thanks for the listen and comments!

Hello Dave,
I installed CLA Bass yesterday and it's really good - thanks for the hint. Just bought Waves Vocal Rider which is highly recommended and might solve my personal problem of singing too dynamically (if you want to express that fact euphemistically...).
Gonna check out the other plug-ins you mentioned soon, too.
Have a nice weekend,
Stefan
Hi Stefan, I’m happy you like CLA Bass! And yes, Vocal Rider is a great plugin, I almost always use it in Chris’s vocals. I’ve used it on a B3 track too to tame some of the dynamics.

Hello Dave, I managed to buy the CLA signature selection which contains all (or modt) of the plug-ins you mentioned for 55 Euros yesterday - about the equivalent of 2 pizzas and a couple of beers in a mid-price Italian restaurant  That was quite a batgain, I think... Thanks a lot for your hints. Have a great day, Stefan

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."
