Rewind Me

A new video with a remix of a six year old audio track (the first project Peter joined in with us on guitar). And it now includes Ray on some very cool bass lines. Janice does the “kick,” “snare,” and more on her cajon along with the timbales and few other bits from the RD. We added the handclaps to emphasize that all important reggae third beat.

Thanks to all who take their time to listen and comment. We greatly appreciate you! And more thanks to Peter, Ray and Pg Music (and Bud thanks Janice for appearing in another vid smile )

Tech Department:

Janice: vocal, melody and cajon
Peter: lead and rhythm guitars
Ray: bass
Bud: lyric, audio mix/mastering and video

Vocals: Rodes NT1 > Scarlett 212 > Nectar 3
Percussion: Meinl Cajon (mics front/rear to separate tracks) > Waves CLA Drums
Drums: RD Reggae sw (all kick and snare removed) > Waves CLA Drums
Organ: RT 1159 Reggae sw > Neutron 3 > TruVerb
Piano: RT 1160 Reggae sw > Waves CLA Unplugged
Handclaps: Various loops (thanks floyd) > Waves JPL Percussion

Cleverly constructed video for an interesting song. I'm sure it will resonate with anyone old enough to have a past that's worth clinging to. Well done.


My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile

Fun video!

Janice does a stellar job on the song.

As usual, a very clean mix, so the reverb on the clap really comes through.

One of these days, I'm going to have to pick up Waves CLA Drums, just to see what they do to the drums. But I know the real magic is Bud, not the VST.

I enjoyed the song and video! laugh

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

Nice song and video. The mix sounded awesome through my Sennheiser headphones. Third beat is a new term for me, I'll have to remember that. Good work, gang!

Pretty hip stuff for some older kids...lol I really like all the visual things associated with music. The cajon was cool sounding. The cassette tape motif was a cool idea. Now I need to go back and look at the other videos.

I, too, would like to thank Janice for appearing in another video, and I'm sure I speak for everyone. Man, Ray is so good in so many ways, and his reggae bass is stupendous. Peter's guitar is really quite amazing. What great taste and technique. Man, what a cool video, Bud, and... well, no one mixes better. I love this song --right from the whole idea of it. Well done, everyone.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Janice, Bud, Ray, and Peter,

Very nice reggae melody. I wrote on the site I didn't need a stop- or pause button, only the replay button. But after I found that one my message vanished. So therefore I wrote it here, but not after peplaying that song.
The bass lines from Ray were very cool indeed. Peter's guitar is always quality, like magician Bud's finishing touch!

I only missed the dreadlock wig, Janice!

Hans
I couldn't give any likes, replaying it didn't do anything on the play counter. So it wasn't me telling stories, it's the software...

Hi team!
Reggalicious tune with wild colored and happy video as a bonus. Can't go wrong with reggae, one of my favorite genres to lift the mood. Seems like you had some fun with this one. Excellent tape / rewind theme. Ace playing by Peter and Ray. I think... bass should be a little louder for a reggae tune. Janice, wonderful performance and love that percussion! Bud, super work on putting this together. Enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

You always produce some of the best music in the entire world.

As usual everything is perfect.

A great listen even though the cassette tape images brought back nightmares!

Loved it!
