Here's my latest song using BIAB 2017 Realtracks. It's a smooth jazzy/souly/funky mixture of different styles.

I'm sure you'll agree that the sax solo by Eric Marienthal really takes it up a level.

Unfortunately, I'm experiencing a problem getting this song released by LANDR to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Deezer, etc.
Here is the email they sent me:

Do PG Music give artists permission to use Realtracks in their original songs, does anybody know ?

Andy,
Peasant tune. That mixture of styles worked very well on this.
I like your vocal FX chain, sounds very distinct. Enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing!

Yes, you have full rights to use the RealTracks in your original songs. laugh

Nice tune.

And yes, the sax solo hits the spot!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Excellent track. Vocal is processed nicely. Sax interplay with vocal at end of song works well.

Really well done, Andy! Delightfully catchy, and I love the sugary melodies on this. Super easy on the ears, and I thought the mix was professional and concise.

Thanks for sharing smile

Thank you for the positive comments.

I'm particularly pleased because this is the first time that I have used only BIAB Realtracks in one of my songs, and it's also the first time that I've included a Realtrack solo instrument instead of my own guitar playing.
I used Tenor Sax 1062 from the FUNKSAX.STY, but it sounds more like an Alto Sax to me.

The other Realtracks I used were:

CUTLOOS.STY - Drums, Elec Bass 2620, Elec Piano 2623, and Rhythm Guitar 2819.
SOULBAL.STY - Drums, Muted Guitar 1638
VERUNO.STY - Tropical House Drums, House Piano 2700 (used in addition to the above in the Choruses)

Smooth relaxing soulful song with nice mixture of different styles, reggae, soul and funk. Great work with the mix and vocals. To my ears this sounds very original.

Greg said it all well, "Cool song!! Very pleasant with a sweet, catchy melody! Sax is great. Vibe is happy! It all works!!"

We couldn't agree more.

This is a very effective use of all RT's (first time or not) to support a cool write and very pleasant well done vocal.

The word gets overworked...but, yes, it is catchy. The entire vibe simply stays with you.

And, yep, nice sax also!

Enjoyed it.

We hope that helps!

Hi Andy,

I finally found some time to sit down and to listen to this.

WOW! <--- this was the first word that came into my mind

I absolutely love the mood that you create with this song. Everything about it sparkles with competence and confidence.... the writing, your arrangement, your vocals, the final mix. From beginning to end, I was with you all the way and thoroughly enjoying the journey.

All the best,
Noel

'Andyman'...

Your song, You Make Me Think About Love (what a sublimely wonderful title!), is such a sweet, sunny thing that I found myself adding my own vocal harmony to it, ooo-ing and ahhh-ing while I moved around in my chair. I wished that I'd had someone to dance with while listening to it.

One of the great things about forum members sharing their songs is that it enables me to discover BIAB styles I've never used. Your Real Tracks selections complemented perfectly your blissfully lovely lyrics that celebrate the indescribable pleasures of loving someone deeply.

I'm going back for another listen... smile
