BiaB --> RB --> Daw : Workflow and Changes - 10/23/14 01:26 PM
All,
once generated all the backing tracks with BiaB, I'm ready to import each one in the Daw (FL Studio, or RealBand, depending on the song and on the mood :-).
Now come the fun part 2. There is a lot to do in order to refine and personalize each single track.
For example, I would like some drum solo here and there. How to obtain this in RB ?
How do you usually apport such modifications to the drum part ?
One approach I could imagine, is to let RB to generate some drum fills on another track, then 'cut' only the fills and paste it together at the right place, so that they are in sync with the track that needs a drum solo.
The new material (the fills) should obviously override the one of the targeted track.
While I find this a possible method, I think it's tedious and needs a try-and-error approach that could be painful. And it's obviously not guaranteed, that consecutive drum fills sound like a drum solo..
Another possible way would be the use of pre-made (midi or audio) drum solo/fills which are usually available in the Daw itself. But the drum kit used should sound the same of the BiaB drum track, which could not really be an easy task to accomplish.
Would you like to share some experience about your workflow ? How would you for example insert a drum solo in the BiaB drum track ? And more in general, which changes do you usually apply to the backing tracks (if any.. they are already perfect.. 8-) ?
Best regards,
Sergio
