June 30, 2015 User Showcase - FIRST SONG - The Perfect Life

Hello everyone. My name is Dan, and I am brand new to everything here: This forum, BIAB, DAW's, Audio Interfaces, you name it. I do play guitar, but I left that up to BIAB for this one.

Thanks to BIAB, I was able to "reverse the curse," of writer's block that spanned over 17 years.

The Perfect Life was written and arranged in BIAB less than 48 hours after I got the program. Then came learning some mixing basics (can you say countless Youtube Tutorials?). After this short time I can say BIAB was the spark that ignited a fire and I will be forever grateful to this concept.

Hope I did ok for my first post here and hope you enjoy...

June 18, 2015 User Showcase Song - Urban Legend

Some of you are aware that I am doing a project to try and put together an album of original songs about the plight of the rhino to raise funds for the Rhinose Foundation. It is a cause very dear to my heart.

A few of the forum members have already come to the party with songs for the album and I am very grateful. If anybody else has a song or would like to write a song PLEASE drop me a pm.

I wrote this song to pitch to a professional singer-songwriter here in South Africa who is also a personal friend of mine (our dogs are friends and regularly have "play dates" at each other's houses!).

So any help with this song before I pitch to her would be much appreciated.

June 16, 2015 User Showcase Song - Don't Play Me

On this one I used the duplicate drummer feature in Pro Logic. It maps out a midi track and

allows you to either replace or double the kick, toms, or snare. I chose to double the kick with a

Roland TS-808 sound. This resulted in a low end mess. After 16 mixes I turned to Dr floyd for

help. In 5 minutes he got back to me with the proper prescription and the patient recovered.

After I rolled off the low end on the bass, I found mix #17 to be the keeper. Thanks floyd! I hope everyone likes it.

June 01, 2015 User Showcase Song - I Should Have Lied

I wrote this song I Should Have Lied five years ago and it is still one my favorites. I really wanted to hear it sung by a real singer, so I hired again Christos from Supreme Tracks to do the vocals. His voice really fits the song.

Band-in-a-box does the great work yet again, that tenor sax is really beautiful. I had some troubles with #896 guitar playing Gm7b5 chord, sometimes it sounds like a discord to me, I couldn't fix it even in Melodyne, so the problem is probably between my ears :-) Maybe the bass sound could have had a little bit funkier edge, but I like how the RT #683 plays, so I left it there.

I made also a video for the song using mostly watery clips from my collection.

RealDrums: NashvillePop16
RealTracks:
12 string acoustic guitar #896
Electric Bass PopHalfNotesPush #683
Electric Guitar Dire #509
Electric Guitar Arp #695
Acoustic Guitar Strumming #793
Cellos #1856, #2509
Acoustic Piano #811
Sax Tenor #587

MIDI Tracks: Strings from style CR_BETH through GPO

Mixed in Adobe Audition.
