THAT'S IT! - Remix w/new parts


By Test48, 2008-08-17

Yep, this song was my contribution to the Same Song Title Madness thing we did here back in February. It wasn't bad, but admittedly there were some issues in places where the bass guitar and drums weren't together as tightly as they should have been. I had thrown it together quickly to meet the submission deadline, and couldn't muck with re-recording some of the bits over. It was "close enough".<br /><br />Well, I had some time this weekend (still in Texas on work detail) and pulled out my Boss recorder and mixing/mastering machine, and discovered I still had the song and all its track in it. <br /><br />I deleted the original bass and drum tracks, but left intact the original lead and rhythm guitar tracks and vocals.<br /><br />I&nbsp;pulled out my bass and re-recorded a whole new bass guitar track, playing to the song and to a drum loop set to the basic time of the song. Next, I deleted turned of the drum loop and built a new drum track from the ground up, playing "live" in "real time" to the song. It is not a programmed drum track.<br /><br />Finally, I remixed the whole thing from scratch, kicking up the voacl a bit more, adding more thump to the bass guitar. It might not be perfect, but it's as close to perfect as I can get. It is the blues after all. It shouldn't be perfect, right? lol<br /><br />Anyway, give the remixed, partially re-recorded song a spin and let me know what you think.<br /><br />Paul
