Ok, here is something totally different showing the electronica side of BIAB. We made use of both the midi and real track possibilities here.

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs/shaky-ground

I wrote this with my electronica songwriting buddy Jon Healey who has a day job as a columnist for the LA Times. It is from an album we are putting out in the spring called Heaven Knows. The verse chorus structure is chaotic on purpose. I work in BIAB and Jon works in FL Studio, and we mash them together. I added the guitars on this one. Here is the BIAB bed. Have fun and expect weird.

Song: Shaky Ground
Style is ROKTRON1.STY (RockTronica 1 - bright dance gro)

David, this one has it all! The musical bed for this song is great - really cool use of the RockTronica style - awesome vocal as well! Tremendous effort - love everything about it.

Consider yourself resurrected... smile

Assuredly different. Our first reaction was wow that must
have taken a LOT of work. We have to admit that our knowledge
of electronica could be written on a postage stamp...but that
doesn't prevent recognizing a creative and well done
arrangement/production. The name of our CD is "All Over The Map"
and man would that also apply to you and your productions.

Very cool!

Immediately I was thinking: "are really you"?
In effect very different from usual but nice song. Your voice goes very well
with the background

I enjoyed the listening.

Very different, very cool David!! I see this as a film score song for some really intense scene. Very frenetic and textural. Enjoyed it. Very creative and original!! Take care. Greg

That is quite a high energy production. It should really rock and rumble on a big PA.

I thought it was a really good match for your vocals.

Enjoyed my listen.
