The original mix of this song was created purely with keyboard simulating the sound of various instruments. I like the arrangement but it sound so artificial.

I bought BIAB a month ago and tried improving the mix and I really love it, given that the instruments used are real!!!

Below is the link:

Here are the details of the track:

Guitar 1: ~~543:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Dreamy Ev 120
Guitar 2: ~~522:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 120
String Quartet: 2335:String Quartet, Rhythm PopHall Ev 085

Vocal track was recorded using Acid Pro 7 and final mix was done using Garageband.

My inspiration in the song arrangement is Dan Fogelberg's song Longer and The Beatles' song Eleanor Rigby

I'm currently reworking on my other songs to use BIAB.

I hope you'll like it!

Froi,

A new first post. Nice song, beautiful melody. Very pleasant vocal.

Very nice mix. Everything blends well. Acoustic guitar, strings and vocal all in good balance. The strings work well.

Well done.

Froi,
Very well done in all respects - a warm and sincere song with a very pretty melody and your arrangement is just right.
An amazingly polished production for your first BiaB song-
looking forward to more.

Thank you for all your kind words and comments. BIAB has been a great help. It helps me expand my creativity. I've heard of this app before but never got interested until lately and I'm glad I did.

There are still a lot of things that I need to explore in BIAB but in time I'll get know how use its full potential.

I have posted another remixed song that I made but the vocal and guitar solo track recorded still need some fine tuning. I might still post this later to get some suggestions on how to improve it. But the BIAB real tracks that I used there really sound great.
