Creating a Cover tune in RB. Rob Helms 22 hours ago Forum: Post your own Tips and Tricks here Jump to new postsJump to new posts
This something i have done over a 100 times in the past. Why RB, and not Reaper, Studio one, Cakewalk etc? Okay here is why. Because you can compare midi and Audio so seamlessly Let me explain. Here is my process. 1. import a midi tune for a cover song. great right? sound okay but a tad mechanical. Okay add higher quality synths, work each track over to get more realistic phrasing. Awesome right? Maybe but usually, it sounds a bit weak compared to the original tune and also sounds like a karaoke song at best. So you say i want to put my own spin but retain the signature licks. 2. audition a few RealTracks to replace a couple of the midi tracks. Here is where RB shines. You can with the greatest of ease A B the tracks and hear them in the song mute and unmute each work your way through the song and only replace what make the song a bit better and make it your take on the song. 3. spend your midi and synth processing for the signature licks. Now you can use Playable tracks to link the midi to a RT sound that gives more realism to the lick. Okay why not with a different DAW and the plugin? because it is just easier in RB due to the ability to not have to manipulate all the tracks without bouncing and syncing a plugin with a DAW. TShis is just one more thing RB does really well. It has very robust midi, and excellent RT/RD tools, and the ability to incorporate Playable tracks.

Outstanding cover of 'Rosanna' by Toto by this young band AudioTrack Yesterday at 11:46 AM Forum: Best of YouTube Jump to new postsJump to new posts
A band I've never heard of previously: Low Darts College. Worth a listen. The drumming especially is outstanding, but there's no weak links, anywhere.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
