You have a knack for putting RTs together.
Great backing track with an outstanding vocal.

Pretty darn cool Steve! Aside from your great song, this is a really great example of some harder rockish RT's. The lead guitar made me take notice. Sounds great. I haven't used that yet but hearing it now, I know I will! Nicely put together Steve. Great track!

Dan,
Thank you so much for your kind words. The RT's are an amazing tool. I really like the Brent Mason stuff. As always, when you find a good RT sound, just keep regenerating til you get the part that you are looking for. Thanks again for your time!
Robert,
I really appreciate you taking the time to listen and review! Have a blessed day!

Hi Steve,
Your arranging and production skills are absolutely outstanding. Couple those with your terrific voice and you have an exceptionally well produced song. The minute that I started listening to this song, I was there in the mix and, try as I might, I just couldn't stop my right foot tapping along!
This song is A+++ songwriting.
All the best,
Noel

Great work Steve. I have used a similar approach to RTs, but I was curious what you do to mix them together. Do you use a DAW or RealBand to take the parts you regenerate and edit/mix them down?
Thanks for posting. Again nice job.

Jim, Thanks so much for listening! I always use Band in a Box to do all my arranging. I arrange all my compositions in a linear fashion (I don't use repeats, etc). Then I use the bar settings to place instruments in and out of the song where desired, and then rough out a mix (volume, pan, reverb) to get a general idea of the sound of the arrangement. When satisfied, I then on all instruments, remove all reverb, pan everything to center, and turn up to full volume on each instrument. Then I render each individual instrument to a wav file. I then use Logic Express 9 to actually mix, record vocals, etc. I have written in several posts that I regenerate the BB (RT/RD) parts a LOT. It is not unusual for me to regenerate (particularly a solo part) 20, 30 even 50 times, to get the part that I want. (Occasionally it will nail it the first time.) To me, this is one of the awesome things about BB. If you don't like what you hear, but it is "within the ball park" close to what you want, just regenerate a part until you get what you want. It takes some patience, but it is worth it. Anyway, thanks again for your time and comments! Have a blessed day! Steve

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
