Hi,
Thought I would post one of my original pieces of music I put together with Band in a Box.
All guitar parts I've recorded using Samplitude Pro X and the Vandal guitar processor.
The backing track I composed with the excellent Band in a Box using various styles and importing them into Samplitude Pro X.
Thought adding a public domain silent film would be cool!
RealTracks in song: ~700:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesPush Ev 085
RealDrums in Song: NashvilleBrushesCountryPopEv16: a: Sidestick, Brushes b: Brushes
The rest is various midi tracks created with Band in a Box.

Great choice of backing tracks, Brian! Really goes well with your wonderful guitar. Love that guitar tone -- wouldn't have guessed that wasn't a live amp.
The video is lots of fun as well wink

Really like your guitar tone on this, Brian. Very Jeff-Beck-ish...

An enjoyable listen. Quite melodic (also Beck-ish) - and interesting throughout.

Nice.

Really great tone you have going on there Brian. I agree with Floyd--very "Beck."

It is true you can get some pretty amazing sounds out of virtual equipment. I think I own pretty much everything IK Multimedia makes, including Amplitube and "Mic Room." They blow my mind. Even more so, there are thousand of presets from people in the community who worked really hard to get that exact verse guitar sound from a specific song on a specific Who Record. So that's how he did that. smile

Anyway, great playing and great use of effects and the overall process.

Well done!

Great tune. The guitar has a great tone as others have mentioned. I thought the sax blended into your melody quite well. It added a nice texture to the overall feel of the song. Enjoyed this one.
