My RRF Songwriter 2011 nomination is clear: Chapman! :D

Todd, wouldn't it be possible for you to take the MP3 and add a bass to it as example?

Hey Werner.

Thanks for listening. Todd, has in fact has sent us a sample. <<---- thank you Todd! And I'm trying my best to get my bass line to sound similar. Clean. Stand out. But in this last mix, I most certainly went off the the mark. I'll be back in the studio (<<<--laundry room) tonight.

I am A/B-ing this mix against the original and other recordings as well... trying to find that sweet spot.

:)

Werner, My suggested sample bass track was up for a couple days and then I pulled it. I stuck it back in there for the moment at

My cable company only gives me 20 MB of free storage space and I'm right up to the limit with drawings, photos and PDFs for work stuff, so the music items get rotated in and out frequently when I need space.

Nothing fancy, just an quickie effort to add some low end and thump. Reminded me of the old days when we used to do a lot of low-budget studio sessions for people who wanted to make their own albums. One or two run-throughs and roll tape. You're playing along, trying to remember what comes next as you do, and just barely hanging on without losing it. Like driving your car around a 30 mph curve at 60, but we could cut an entire album in one session. I can safely say that I've probably played on some of the worst country and gospel albums ever made, but it paid the bills at the time.
