Hi, Thanks for listening. I used a couple of Waves plugins on the bass, Maserati B72 and RBass. Maserati treble at 1 o'clock and the other controls default. Rbass intensity at 6.6 and gain at -3. I think the Capitol Compressor on the master buss with the saturation also adds a lot to the bass.

Dave Overland sings on this one. One of my favorite songs from the Revolver album. I used the Capitol Compressor on the mix buss - what a great plugin - the saturation knob does wonders I think. I also sent vocals to the ReelADT plugin from waves and the Hitsville reverb chambers from UA. https://baselines.com/?p=6931

Thanks Wookiee - you are probably right - or maybe even before that! Steve

The good sisters would approve of your restraint! ?

Haven't heard this one in a good long while. Everything is beautiful here from the vocal to the synth coming in, to the mandolin. You truly captured the meaning of the original for sure. Nice work! Steve

Hi Ross - thank you for listening and also leaving your comment!

This is great Jack, I really like it. Both the music and the lyrics and vocal tone fit perfectly.

Thanks very much Bjorn - really appreciate it!

Yes - rather than go back in and fix/remaster, I just used RX10 - I thought maybe it would do damage somewhere else in the song, but it seemed to work out well with the de-click module. The thought of all those poor 'normal' people (throughout the world) that are affected by war without having any involvement in it at all really just makes me sick. In the US, I think people lose sight of how great they actually have it - even on awful days we don't even come close to what those people are going through - and it's not their fault!

Awesome! I love this style. Over the past month or so, I watched a few of those YouTube videos about Kensington - I knew things were bad these days, but had no idea how far we had fallen. Great lyrics and I love the music changes when the 'She didn't even get to say goodbye,' part started. Great job!

That's a great intro piano, and the vocals fit right in the mix - I got a little Mark Cohn vibe. Great lyrics...and of course cello when used correctly as it is here is always just the coolest instrument ever.

Loved it - what a cool idea - I am glad you gave some background so I could enjoy how it developed while listening. Very well crafted - I loved hoe the ending section was done.

Another great production Nigel - your videos are always on point with the music. I skipped Ozone 11 - how do you like it? I felt that Ozone 10 wasn't really worth it for me, and I miss the fact that you can't run it standalone. I mostly still use 9, but sometimes try 10 - it might be me, but I can't get a handle on exactly what is happening with some of those new interface modules. I see you have been very busy with releases as I am subscribed to your channel - I don't know how you keep up with it all! Steve

Loved it Freddy - quite agree with the message.

A nice peaceful listening experience!

Wow - very cool collab! Sounds great.

I went back in and I think fixed it - you were right, much happier now!

Thanks Nigel - peace!

Hi Mark thank you - there is a click in there - I should really have removed it, but got lazy. Maybe I will fix that. You are totally right about the history as well - nothing is truly clear about it, just a few dates when it boils over. I guess you really need to live it to fully understand. Steve

Hi Treesha - thank you very much! I don't know whether I will ever recover from St Joseph. I had one of the nuns completely empty my messy desk onto the floor and call me worse that St Thomas Aquinas in front of the whole class in the 4th grade. It put the fear of God and Nuns deep in my soul LOL! I still have nightmares.

Hi Lynn! Thank you for your comment!

Thank you for listening!

I am so sick of weak leadership leading to tragedy and travesty. I hope the mood(s) in this song conveys my up and down feelings. Music is my most efficient method of communication, and if that fails, then I guess I have nothing, The Middle East Dance - A new song in the classical genre. - Baselines Designs https://baselines.com/?p=6921
