Great song! It's one of those I wish I'd written for my wife. Clever writing and great story. Loved the listen.

Dewey...Great hook...the metaphor plays really well with your lyrics subtly enhancing it...love the band... I always like your vocals and your phrasing...(this is just me) but I'd love to hear the entire mix with just a sprinkle of 'verb to give it a little depth...it's a really cool song that any girl would love to think was written about/for her!

Hi Dewey,
Very lovely song! Nice vocals and good lyrics.
And like Brad wrote; I wished I could make this kind of song/lyrics for my wife.
I was only wondering something about that fiddle. If I had made this song I would have saved it for the chorusses and the solo part. You used it the whole song.
Was there a reason for that?
Have a very nice day, Dewey,
Hans

Fantastic idea, Birchwood! I'll mess around with the production and do exactly as you suggest (i.e., reserve the fiddle for the choruses, only).

Dewey...let me reiterate how good this song is...but since you asked...I was suggesting a "little bit" on the whole track...but I'm listening now and here's what I'd do for what it's worth...I would give the drums their own reverb to pull them back on stage a bit...then I'd pan the fiddle slightly left a bit to move it away from the vocal so they don't hold the same sonic place on the stage (not a hard pan just a bit) I'd do this because the fiddle plays at the same time as the vocals and they are competing for the space...then I'd pan the mandolin or acoustic to the right (slightly) to balance the mix with the fiddle...this will make the mix sound bigger and more stereo with instruments in different sonic spaces...then add a little salt (reverb, just a sprinkle on the entire mix)...cook it up and see what it tastes like...if it sucks well that's just me...but if it makes a great song more interesting and wider then...VOILA!

Wow, this is really professional! The timbre of your voice and the song style reminds us somewhat of that other great singer here on the forum. What's his name again? It begins with a D and ends with a J  Great work! Rob and Anne-Marie

Dan, I do NOT have an ear for mixing so I really appreciate your input. . Based on this song I do not believe that at all Great vocal Super band backing you up Super mix Loved it PS about the reverb I would put a tad on your voice and less on the backing band, except the bass and kick drum, no reverb on them. That would put you and the band in the same room. Remember though that is what I would do and others, including you, may or may not agree. Regardless what you have now is fantastic and you may choose to keep it as is; it is that good.
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.

I ended up not touching the reverb on the drums as you mentioned not to do because when i did try and add some there were ghost hits in the mix that was messing it up. I did add some reverb to the whole track as well. Not sure if I improved it or may it worse to be honest with you. Regardless, I really appreciate you putting an ear to this and lending your advice!

Disclaimer: the Producers Guild of America does not indorse this guy on any level for anything! LOL to your disclaimer, Dan! I ended up adding to the whole mix but nothing special to the drums as they had a ghost beat when I did try. I panned a bit right and left with the instruments and cleaned up my vocals a bit to. Not sure if it made it better or worse so if you have the patience and time, I'd appreciate you listening to what I did and let me know if it's in the right direction. Na zdrowie!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
