July 30, 2014 User Showcase Song - Love Again

In the fall of 2006 I relocated and in the spring of 2007 I fell madly in love. We shopped for rings and went house hunting but it was only to be a spring romance. It was also the first song I wrote after living through Hurricane Katrina two years earlier. Looking back I suppose I had a lot on my mind.
All instruments are real tracks. Bass, Drums, piano, synth pad, cello, 3 strumming acoustic guitars, and a bit of Dreamy guitar.

July 29, 2014 User Showcase Song - You Were Never Mine

Did this tune a few years back. It's almost all in Band In a Box/RealBand. The piano solo was pieced in from another BitB song. I used ACID for that.

I still intend to tweak the singing. Sorry, I don't remember the tracks, etc. It was all done on another computer that crashed so right now I don't even have the software. I'm looking to either replace or upgrade.

July 23, 2014 Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production - Newbie

Recently purchased BIAB 2014 [300$ one]and getting a feel for it.
Have used a real track and created an original song, selecting a "solo" and adding vocals.
What I am trying to figure out, with the help of the user's guide and playing around, is:

1. after recording the vocals how come I cannot find the track it is on?
2. what type of file do I have to save it as in order to copy it into a DAW Real Band, for example, or MixCraft,
3. how do I actually copy the completed song into a DAW? and
4. will I be able to mix everything down? [The tracks are or will be separate correct?]

July 18, 2014 Searching for an older BIAB style

It was specifically designed with instruments and tone patches that yielded a little-children-light-nursery-rhyme sound. I believe the word "child" was somehow embedded in the file name.

Anybody remember such a style? Any info much appreciated. Thanks.

July 16, 2014 Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production - Mixing

Anyone have any good resources for mixing? I think I capture a good signal but I don't really know where to go from there. Very new at this. I grew up in the 80's with hair bands and I think everything needs more reverb. I don't fully understand compression and what it can do for me.

I have seen some videos on mixing but often way over my head with plugins. To begin with, I just need to know where/how to "park" (don't know the correct terms either) something in the mix. I see/hear a lot on putting things in different frequencies to separate them or make them stand out, but I don't know how to listen and determine the proper settings. I guess the EQ thing is what I need most. There has to be a roadmap somewhere to get started. Like begin with drums, then add bass, etc.

Often the mix that BIAB creates sounds much better than it does after I "make improvements" to it. I listen to each individual track, make adjustments to make it what I like to hear, but when it all comes together it sounds like a junior high school garage band.

Anywhere to go for a seminar on the basics?

July 15, 2014 User Showcase Song - SWING DOWN

The origins of Swing Down are unknown. The earliest version that I’ve found simply listed it as traditional. I strongly suspect that it originated as an African-America spiritual. The Golden Gate Quartet recorded it in the 1940’s, the Blackwood Brothers in the 1950’s and Elvis in the 1960’s. The song is fully documented as being in the public domain.
I’ve wanted to do a bluegrass version for many years and finally got to it. Although we start the song with an a cappella line from Swing Low Sweet Chariot, it is not the same song. This one rocks!
All RT’s are from the bluegrass sets

we are waiting for summer to return. So I think it's time to post this title.
It is the first song I did with BiaB. I had ordered Biab in June 2012, two months before my retirement, when I wanted to start making music again. But I was so curious and couldn't wait. And so I did this song with the appropriate title.
In the beginning I mixed in Realband. But in August 2012 I made a remix with reaper. I don't know why I haven't posted it yet.
Here it is: Pleasant Anticipation

July 08, 2014 User Showcase Song - Out on the street

Many years ago, about 1994, Rob met this homeless man who told him his story. This led him to write this song .
Originally composed on a Roland E-10 Keyboard. This is the new Band in a Box R & AM version (the original intro samples were kept intact).
It took a while to get the right soloist for this song. Brent Mason (who else :-) ) turned out to be the best.
The video might struck you as kind of gloomy, but we think it suits the song quite well.
