In addition to BIAB RT and Midi (to get the big 80s drums sounds) I used the vocal synth in BIAB to create the backing vox, to channel my inner Shigeki. Then I layered the main vox with 80s effects from Nectar 2. I am happy with what happened. Also, most of the synths are from the “Band-in-a-Box sounds” that come with the Sforzando VST that comes with BIAB. I think these are underrated. The sounds are great and I use them all the time in song-writing, and here, as a mainstay of the production.

An interesting melange that invokes Oingo Boingo as much as Thomas & David. The vocal synth at the beginning works really well.

You're right, those drums kick a hard path through the song, and those Biab synth sounds are good. I've used them in writing too, and recently used a few in some songs. Everything sounds great, and the lyrics and your vocal delivery are superb. Enjoy whatever happens! marty YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@babumusic51 SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/marty-straub Band in a Box, Reaper, Cakewalk, Ozone 11
