The museum is closed for the night... You're the only one there... Along with all the strange and unusual artifacts from times long ago... Your mind starts drifting...
You hear the sound of a Cello coming from a room near by... This is the museum of the strange and unusual smile



Song link:
JEL - "museum of the strange and unusual" - (20131218)



Style is _SYMPHON.STY (Symphonic Horns & Strings[80RS])
RealTracks in song: 1856:Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085


The single realtrack (the Cello) was exported from BIAB to Reaper, where reverb, EQ and compression was then added.

Thank you very much for all your replies smile A bit over-whelming smile


Yes, the Cello definitely has a far-reaching spirit and soul to it smile

And BIAB really makes it come to life in a way that doesn't seem possible with traditional samplers.

Indeed, Merry Christmas to everybody here, and thanks again smile

JEL,

I'm a big fan of the Strange and Unusual and I felt right at home in the Museum. Where others might feel their spines tingle and sweat on their palms, I felt a great sense of comfort in the dim light.

I take it that those huge orchestral sounds are in the 2014 version of BIAB, which I just got. All I can say is: WOW!!

Yes exactly smile the museum is indeed a serene and beautiful place smile

And yes, it's the Cello in the new BIAB2014 Bonus 6-PAK smile
Personally I think that soundpack alone is enough reason to update to BIAB2014, but the program itself actually has some pretty cool new features smile (I updated from BIAB2012)
