I finally had a chance over the holidays to "play" with BiaB. I had purchased the EverythingPak and spent some time getting to understand it enough to put together my first song. My initial feeling about the product is that Peter and staff are nothing short of geniuses! I love this program!
After building my new music room, my wife made a list of songs she wanted me to play. Since she is a fan of George Strait, for one of her Christmas presents I put together ”My Life’s Been Grand” that George did on one of his albums. I used a combination of BiaB, Keyboard, Vocal, Effects, all mixed in Sonar.
Ironically one of her gifts to me were front row seats to George’s farewell tour in Phoenix this February . Yee Ha!
I am not a Country singer, but she liked it!

I liked that very much. What version of Sonar do you use?

I really like to hear the results of different production methods and I think they are better on the forum than on the User Showcase. To tell the truth, I very rarely go to that forum because they generally do not give production details. But I might have to include it on my regular morning browsing. I guess I really should go to "Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production" topic area. But old habits (Band-in-a-Box Windows) die hard and I have only recently become interested in recording with BIAB backing.

It is interesting to do a comparison between Wally's end product and that of Karel in another current topic:

http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=231229#Post231229

Irrespective of the individual performers, I would say that Wally's is superior as a result of the production mixing.

To DAW or not to DAW and which DAW is my current project. I have been looking at all the product comparisons and there are widely differing opinions. confused

Hi Graham,

Thank you and the others for the very nice comments. I'm presently using Sonar X3 (D patch) as my DAW. After a year of using Sonar, X2 then X3, reading the 1900 page user manual, Scott's X Power Book, I'm starting to get a handle on how to use this program and more importantly the all important Plug Ins. Playing is easy, it's getting the right mix. I'm work'en on it!


This project was kind of rushed because of other projects. It's interesting that I somewhat arbitrarily picked the particular style for this project and after all the chords were entered, timing synchronized etc. I went back and tried other Country Styles. None of the others came close.
It's like it was made for this song. Long live BiaB!

When I finish up some other projects, I'll post them in the appropriate forum, but like you, I usually just go to "Band-in-a-Box for Windows" forum.
