Recorded before BIAB introduced the DAW plugin, we had to create this one using the old fashioned method of exporting the MIDI version from BIAB and and running it through the Yamaha SG1000 soundcard in our DAW computer. Final mix was exported as a 24 bit WAV file and topped, tailed and mastered in Sound Forge. Dithered to 16 bit/44.1 khz and exported as a 192 Kbps MP3 file. The BIAB style used is "C_Girl" from SD#15, at 120bpm. The B part has a real "Eagles" feel which is what we were looking for at the time. With the exception of the guitar lead work and vocals the entire production came from BIAB. Quality rivals any full-production, "live musician" project we've done in our studio. In my opinion BIAB is THE singer/songwriter tool for creating original music. SONG LINK: Someone Else's Angel Enjoy, Bob Buford, Producer Summertown Recording Studios Fort Collins, Colorado

Hi Bob,
Wow! This sounds excellent. Top notch in every way - composition, arrangement, performance, mix, master. I'm listening to it again as I type. It's brilliant.
All the best, Noel

Hi Bob, Great Job! I Love the guitar work, reminds me somewhat of Chris Rea's Road To Hell. Terrific song too! Kind Regards, Dave.

Hi Dave...I only discovered Chris Rea within the last year and have become a huge fan, so your review is a great compliment. Guitar work on this project was really fun to do. Minor key lends itself well to improv. Practically writes itself! Thanks so much for listening.

Hi Jim....thanks for listening and for your feedback. BIAB was a real inspiration in creating this project. Gave me arrangement ideas I might have over looked otherwise.

It’s all been said; great song, super lyrics, vocal and guitar work.
GREAT chops man!
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.

Hi Bob, Everything has already been said. I'll just second all the comments above. Vox and guitar are real highlights for me but everything is top notch. Thanks for sharing. Jim
I'd be completely happy if I had just one more guitar.

It really has all been said - I'd sure like to hear that one playing on my local radio station as I'm cruising around.
Super production

Hi Jim...thanks for your nice comments. The little VOX practice amp was a real surprise. I recently bought this amp online at Amazon.com for $99 after having heard a friend's amp. He used it for his lap steel guitar just so he could practice anywhere, since the amp can run on six "C" cell batteries. I bought it so I could practice without having to hook up a lot of stuff. The extensive onboard effects and amp/cab modeling, and lineout for recording would be pretty impressive on any amp but even moreso for one in this price range (...the day after I got mine the price went to $129, but still a deal!). I used a Fender Nashville Power Tele (active electronics) to record the guitar lead, set on the neck pickup with full tone and volume. VOX setting utilizes the #2 CLEAN (has auto compression) amp/cab setting and the TREMOLO/REVERB setting with reverb turned off (we always add reverb in the studio DAW) and the TREMOLO setting at max modulation and speed set to match the song's speed. Keep on pickin' !
Bob

Hi Carlos...thank you so much for your nice comments. The guitar in this project was a Fender Nashville "B" Bender Telecaster set on the bridge position with full volume and tone, run through a POD (no amp) set on the Blackface amp/cab with some healthy gain for crunch, and then directly into the board. This guitar is very heavy due to all the metal inside for the bending mechanism. Has some serious natural sustain. Keep on pickin'

Bob,
This is another fantastic song and mix. The SW1000XG has some nice sounds and FX on that thing. I used one when I first started with Biab. I have it somewhere around here with a daughter board for it.
You sure can write and sing my friend. This is another outstanding song. Keep em coming !!

Hi Trax...thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it. I still have all that Yamaha hardware attached to one of the DAWs here. We don't use it much anymore but it was and is still innovative stuff. It was our first studio DAW back in 2000. Wow...how far it's all come! Huh?
Bob
