I need a volunteer to play about 6-7, maybe 8 bars of 6/4 pretty slow (85 BPM). It's a simple part. I'd play it myself, but it's just beyond my capability. It's in SO6.6. I'd REALLY appreciate. I can't pay anything right now. Let me know if you're interested. If you've got a drum part that needs help, maybe we can barter?
Thanks,
KC

It might help if you gave more detail.
What is SO6.6?
What kind of keyboard sound are you looking for?

If it's a simple part, maybe you could enter it in step mode (seq) and use a softsynth for the sound you need?

I don't mind contributing, but the description is pretty vague.

Do tell! We need more info on the project.

OK, your mission, should you decide to accept it, is this blue-eyed soul tune written by 1 of my favorites, and should be 1 of yours too, Jimmy Webb. Several artists have covered this tune, and the version I'm primarily working from is the one B.J. Thomas performed. The problem I'm having with BIAB is the fact that they have the most convoluted way to insert 6/4 bars. I'm not going to explain, and I don't even want to "infect" my tune with their method. My main DAW is SO6.6 (Studio One 6.6), and it works fine on this task. I'm passing along the chord charts, and the mp3. I've tried to insert the 4 6/4 bars in the chorus. However, in bar 26 beats 5 & 6 have to be added before the Bb chord. This is where BIAB just didn't cut the mustard, as far as I was concerned. As mentioned earlier, the style is very 60's Muscle Shoals sound. I need the guitar to sound very clean with a little tremolo. I wouldn't mind if the piano had a Floyd Cramer type feel. I just didn't have access to that kind of style in my library. Now, since BIAB forum won't let me attach the mp3, here's the link to the YTube. And I'm attaching a jpg rendering of the pdf of the chord charts. So, there IS some weird rendering in the graphics. Any questions, just shoot 'em my way.

Hey rharv,

Here's the details. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is this blue-eyed soul tune written by 1 of my favorites, and should be 1 of yours too, Jimmy Webb.

Have you tried twice as many 3/4 bars instead?
The Bars/Chords may cooperate better that way.

BiaB is based on 3/4 or 4/4 in my experience, and anything else is the application trying to adapt the the task (faking it to the best of it's ability)
So giving it 2X as many 3/4 bars may give you better chord control
Just an idea at this point

I think I'm just going to leave BIAB behind for this tune. It just gets too convoluted for me. I don't want to use 3/4 bars bcuz that messes up the feel. I really don't understand why they did it this way.

Hey,

Hold off on learning your parts. I just discovered tonight in the 2nd verse that some of my chords last only 2 beats when they should last 4. They're 4/4 bars, I just made a stupid mistake, and worse, I couldn't figure out how to add those extra beats. I'm waiting for some assistance, and I'll get back asap.
Tanx,

OK! I've completed the Bass Gtr, and Drums. There's a partial piano part from the beginning thru the 1st chorus. The chorus might be a little out of line since I couldn't deal with BIABs method for unorthodox time sigs. But what I have of the piano part can essentially just be copied. BIAB did generate what I have, and I'm extremely happy with it. I played the entire bass part myself. I have the Chord chart and literal notes for the bass so you can follow that verbatim. I need at least 2 electric gtr parts. 1 that simply plays on 2 & 4 (& 6 if necessary). 2nd guitar that plays a very clean Memphis/Muscle Shoals sound. Listen to the original if you're not sure. I also need a Hammond B3 (slow Leslie). We'll hammer the rest out. Anyhoo, here's some basic chord charts that should give you a good road map. I just realized BIAB won't accept my PDF files . So, I'm going to ask you to give me your private email in the PM section and I'll send the PDFs to that email. It won't accept my mp3 either .

OK! PLEEZE! Can I get a soulful guitarist to play the guitar part. The only problem I'm having is I can't find a Gtr part in BIAB that plays this particular lick when & where I need it. It's not a complicated lick. Just a slurred chord. Kind of like the equivalent of a flam on a drum. I was considering trying the Strum 2, from AAS to see if I could make that play it. I've got a link to a song on YTube that plays it perfectly. Stormy Monday - Allman Bros. LIVE If you listen to the guitar on the 2nd beat @ 0:16, EXACTLY. I would LOVE for a pretty decent picker to learn this tune and record it for me. PLEEZE!!??
