I think maybe "BABY WANTS A BEAMER" could be considered as "Americana" or "Modern Folk"... but maybe you have other suggestions? I've recorded this four times on the 970 I bought from Mason and in this version, I added the "Baroque Strings" Multi-Pad in parts. Comments Welcome.

Thanks, ----Dave

Nice song Rice. Good hook.
I don't like the constant use of the vocal harmony/double. You don't need to try to cover up anything, your voice is good!

Hi Dave,
I really like that tune because of the haunting voice of yours.
It reminded me of one of my favorite tunes from the movie "Bourne Identity".
It's played at the end ...

Hi Don: Thanks for "dropping by"... and I have always remembered your admonition to use as little VH as possible... if at all.

I've experimented with VH & VE on the 970 until I am blue in the face but having the ability to use it... and not know how... or even try is not in my "wheelhouse"...LOL! Next time I recut "Beamer" I'll just go solo and see if I can pull it off.

Merry Christmas and Thanks again! ----Dave

I try to use it sparingly, for example on the chorus, or on selected parts. I turn it off and on with a foot switch.

Hey, Eric:

Loved those "Bourne Films." I never thought of my voice as "haunting" but maybe I can find a way to make a living scaring the bejeebers out of young'uns! LOL! Thanks for listening.

Isn't Ventura right near the Burbank Airport? I worked for a few months up in Santa Clarita and was grateful not to have to drive all the way down to LAX to catch a plane home.

Regards, ----Dave

Hi Dave,
By haunting I meant more soulful under your skin type. Not scary
Ventura is close to Santa Barbara of the 101. About 1:15 hours from LAX and and 1:30 to Burbank ...
That is without traffic. Double and triple that with traffic
Eric

Now I remember, Eric:

We had relatives living in Big Bear and they picked us up in their plane at a little dusty airstrip near Santa Clarita and we flew right over Ventura on our way to Solvang. Passed the Goodyear Blimp on our way home.

Thanks for clarifying "haunting" for me... I was getting ready for a career to equal Boris Karloff... LOL! I also remember the California traffic. Here in West Mayberry, population 2025 including cats and dogs, traffic is usually a breeze.

Have a great weekend. ----Dave

Hi Dave,
When did you live in Ca?
Have a great weekend too
Eric

Good song Dave-I like it. Agree with Don on the vocal effects.

Forgive me for cover two posts with one:

Eric, it has been twenty years since I lived at Santa Clarita. Charming place... great spot for sightseeing most of the areas north, east and west of L.A.

Tracy, thanks for sharing your thoughts about the VE. I have so much to learn... and so little time to deploy what little seeps into my over-active mind. I have a friend who is something of a whiz-kid at Band in a Box down in San Diego. I hope it serves you well.

Regards and thanks to you both, ----Dave
