Anyway, here's an arrangement I've made of his Prelude in C ... a staple for all who, like me, love - and like to dabble in - classical music. For this one, I slowed down Bach's Prelude to half speed, chose the RealStyle, and then just let BIAB do its magic with his music (including letting it add a panpipe descant - the original Prelude is "just" arpeggiated chords, on the piano). Sometimes, just sometimes, it's good to get out of the way, right? especially when dealing with such extraordinary music as Bach's, and such incredibly capable music software as BIAB This, I think, really showcases what it (BIAB) can do ... what do you think? Thank you so much for listening - all comments are very welcome.

My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Did you use the chords to what is otherwise known as the Well-Tempered Klavier without the the arpeggio melody and then slow it down? I was thinking about recording that on Classical guitar here soon. Very nice and soothing.

Well done. https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677 BiaB 2024 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

This song (and Bach) remind me of the power of diminished chords. Need more of those in my life. Thanks for sharing!
