So, on this one I decided to "pull out all of the stops" using Real Band and Real Tracks as production tools. This combines an orchestra with an Africa and Latin backbeat and it could not have been done without Real Band unless I had hired George Martin. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs/jujuSecret: After entering in chord progression and playing the acoustic, and using live ethnic drums, djembe, maracas, etc., I added real tracks for Bolero Bass RT 1901, RT 1045 (Jazz B-3) and RT 2535, (held guitar.) The audio chord wizard detected the chords (with some tweaks) and when I generated real tracks I also selected "generate midi" to use the midi tracks to create string and orchestral patches in Garritan. It would have been impossible to do this song in any other set of programs I know of, or at least with as much efficiency and accuracy, and sonic quality. Hope you enjoy.

Hi David, That's quite a musical adventure you've been on! I can only imagine how much knowledge you must have gained from all your experimenting. My experience is that BIAB/RB offer a great deal of depth and there seem to be surprises regularly in store when it comes to the programs' capabilities. Thank you for detailing your journey so thoroughly. You've given me valuable food for thought. All the best with your song, Noel

My mind was rampant with all the images conjured up by your use of "juju". The Miriam/Webster definition of 'Magic luck' didn't occur to me.
A fun song with an interesting musical bed and certainly not the traditional use of styles that we normally see here on the forum. It took imagination and tenacity to stay in the stylepicker long enough to form a combination of such diversity to actually work well nicely together.

Yes, thanks all. Experimenting is a true statement. The more I tinker with these tools the more I see the possibilities are simply limitless. And I am just at the tippy tip tip of the iceberg.
Thanks for the feedback!

Very interesting and cool!! I think of Harry Nielsen "Lime in the coconut" or something him and Lennon might have come up with on a party weekend. Enjoyed it! Take care. Greg
