  1. Thank you for your kind words. I had wanted to do this one for a long time and finally put it together!
  2. I love the Capitol Studios Compressor for the master buss. Here is a version of Duke Ellington's song that was covered by Steely Dan on Pretzel Logic. Finally got around to learning the piano part and playing it through at least once in my life. https://baselines.com/?p=6977
  3. Hi Nigel - thank you for your feedback on this! Steve
  4. There was a group here in Boston (if I remember correctly, they were called 'Band in Boston') that had great horns. The best horns I ever heard live were the E-Street Band. When they came in on Tenth Avenue Freeze Out after the band cooked it on low for about 30 seconds, it about blew the walls off of the Boston Garden. I believe a couple of people actually melted a little.
  5. Yes, three vocals, using Melodyne to fine tune. On all of the vocals, I used iZotope Nectar 3 to process eq and compression decisions. Overall, on the master buss for everything, I used the UAD Capital Mastering compressor (which I love for one feature, the saturation button).
  6. Thanks John - I used Session Pro Horns on that one - perhaps I put too many effects on them! Steve
  7. Hi Jack - thank you. I think you probably mean the effects on the 'POWER UP' vocal. I sent the vocal buss to three fx busses: cakewalk sonitus delay, pultec room verb, hitsville verb I automated them to kick in just for those parts. I'm going to try a screenshot here to show the settings. If you meant some other part, let me know.
  8. Thanks Kevin - I agree, it reminds me of Harrison as well. Steve
  9. Recently added lyrics to this one - I'm planning out my 2024 album and this will probably be on it (later this year). The last verse I had some help from Bard - not word for word, but it did come up with the Window Panes Weep idea - One I really liked and was surprised by. I had to coax it along a little with 4 or 5 suggestions, but it basically worked as a helper tool for when the words just won't come. https://baselines.com/?p=6968 I am right here Waiting for you to come back It's been a while since you've been seen around here Every one is ve - ry concerned We hope that you haven't gone south But who could blame you if you did There's only so much drizzle that a sol can take. Come and break the spell... And melt away my shell Power up --- Power up my soul With your stunning warmth Window panes weep their dusty tears, Empty chairs hold echoes of your bright smile Conversations stutter, ice falls on the sill Aching for warmth, a tender touch.
  10. That lead synth sounds a little like a theremin. Very well put together. It made me think in places like Ruby Tuesday. Steve
  11. Nice job Jack - I like the way the bass fits the track. Steve
  12. Great vocals sit perfectly in the mix. Nice work!
