I badly need to use 12/8 styles for some of my songs. Unfortunately, there are no 12/8 styles included in my Mac version (2017) of BIAB. I suppose I have to create them myself from scratch??? I looked at the style wizard, but it looks complicated (patches and all that stuff). I don't mind investing time in creating my own styles cause I like BIAB, but I need direction in doing this. Can anyone suggest online tutorials I can go to, particularly for the 12/8 drums stuff? Thanks! Yvan
I use Version 2017 for Mac (186). BTW, I don't mind using tripletized 4/4 to do the same. I just don't know how to create triplets with BIAB... Tks. Yvan
You need to select a 12/8 style. Go to the style picker and select 12/8 from the time signature dialogue. I show 132 12/8 styles when I do that here, but the amount you will see depends on which package you have.
Creating your own styles requires a learning curve, but can be rewarding in the end.
Search the PG site and YouTube channel, there should be some tutorials on the subject.
I've been writing aftermarket styles for BiaB since the early 1990s when the StyleMaker was relatively feature-less by today's versions, so I've grown with it as PG Music has expanded its capabilities.
Start with something simple, triplet based. I'm not sure how to find that in the Mac version, I have always made styles on Windows. Many years ago I found the Windows version of the StyleMaker to have more features than the Mac version. The Mac may have caught up to the Win version by now, but I got used to how the Win version worked and never looked back.
A basic knowledge of music theory helps, as does an understanding of what each instrument's job in the ensemble should be. As you learn the ins and outs of the StyleMaker your styles will get better and better. So take it slow, one step at a time, and build your knowledge about it.
Most of all, have fun while you are doing it. IMO music always sounds better when you have fun making it.
Thanks Dave, I did find 17 12/8 styles in my bank of styles. That's a start; I can now look in to those styles and see how they're structured and modify or create new ones from there. Thanks again.
Bob, I did find 12/8 styles in my bank finally. I will explore from those and see how I can move further. Thanks for the smart advice: it's a long learning curve but I think it will be rewarding in the end, and Yes, you gotta have fun while doing this. Yvan
