Nice job - I like those synths in the middle.

Superb guitar tone, nice song and vocals. If you are looking for suggestions, I'd do something with the drums. Maybe a touch of reverb. Are these live drums or midi? Sounds like you used a click track? If these are midi, then I think maybe look at adjusting some of the volumes to add punch to the snares, and some minor adjustments on the fills? Not sure, but it might work out well.

Wow thanks Jack - that means a lot to me! Steve

Thank you Mark - appreciate your time!

Yeah - but I think I kind of undid what Nectar did a little except around 300hz. - I didn't even realize this till I just went back in and looked at both

I wish! I've been trying to come up with video content, but it is not my strong suit - usually I just try to find video content from Youtube and piece it together. It's a long hard slog usually!

Usually lyrics are very hard for me - on that particular one, I would take lunchtime walks with the earbuds, listen to the music and try to find words that fit. It took me a couple of weeks to finish those. Out of all my songs, I think the lyrics on this one are probably the best I can do.

Hi Rik - I would have never thought that, but I'll have to go back and listen for it - thanks for the comment!

Thanks Jack - On the main vocal I used iZotope Nectar. I also sent it to three busses - about a quarter of the full signal: Reverb: UAD Hitsville on the Grapevine setting Delay: Cakewalk Sonitus Delay 1/8 on left and 1/5 on right Reel ADT: Waves on the subtle vocal ADT setting On the final vocal buss, I put Waves Vocal Rider Cheers!

Thank you - yes, all of a sudden that phrase popped into my head at the right time - sometimes that happens!

Well, the drums just didn't fit, so I got rid of them. I've started generating images to go along with these releases using AI rather than searching the net and looking for other people's graphics. So far I am happy with the results. https://baselines.com/?p=6992 TIA for listening!

Mission accomplished - great groove, not loose or lost 🙂

You got some of the good ones from Bandlab there. Nice work. I like how that guitar comes in at the end and mixes in with the synth. Good work by all!

I'm back - I just listened to the versions you have side by side. For the remastered one, the vocal is much more present in the mix. I like how that sounds when it comes in.

Hey, thanks for the nice compliment!! Steve

Hi Freddy - I tried to stay close to the Steely Dan version - I've heard a couple of live performances of the original from 1928 and it seems like Steely Dan tried to stay close to that one as well.

Thanks for listening Jeff!

Thank Nigel - appreciate the feedback.

I can't find release notes. Any way to find out what was updated in 1.1.6? Thank you.

Congrats on the victories! You deserve it, your stuff is always top notch. Steve

This was a fun listen. Loved it.

Thanks for the comment Lynn!

Thank you for the nice comment - I have to admit though, the piano part is two tracks.
