This is a remix of an older song with the original stems (run through my Kurzweil) and an RD substitute track. I made it right after I discovered "pushes". Not one to be subtle about these things, I used a LOT of them and from such came the name. I also used a boatload of sus4 chords, but "(Don't) Sus4 Too Much" is a terrible name for a piece.

It was a (mostly) failed attempt to do a The Doobie Brothers-style instrumental such as can be found on their Stampede Album. I was more proficient actually doing the doo...well, you know. But I tried.

****** Song Summary *************

I don't know what happened to the fiddle, strings, and vibes, but the SAX melody ran through a guitar patch.

*******************

I mixed in Reaper until my earlobes detached. I used multi-band compression for the first time--primarily on the keys and back-ground guitar. I used ReaTune to pitch-shift a guitar note in two places. If I hadn't, the guitar would not be hitting that high G. You can't do an official unofficial The Doobie Brothers-style song without a high.

G.

I don't do that any more, I had fun making it. I had fun remembering how I made it. And I even had a bit of fun mixing it. I hope you have fun listening. I'm all done and stuff now.
