December 31, 2021 User Showcase Song - Have a Rocking New Year!

Rocking Auld Syne

My rocking New Years greet to you all. Based on a very old midi file I found years ago, just like last year, but now it's rock instead of Big Band. I then "messed" with it quite a bit to try make it sound the best I could... I threw a couple of PG's VSTi (Bright Piano & Electric Bass) in the mix - Enjoy!

December 20, 2021 User Showcase Song - Let's Stay Home

December: cold, rainy, stormy. And Delta and Omikron lurking behind every single corner... Wanna go out? To Bud’s bar? Or the racetrack? Nah... How about that instead:

Let's Stay Home (website with lyrics and German translation)
Let's Stay Home (Soundcloud with lyrics)

This one is quite different from my other songs and it was a bit complicated to put together, because I started with the bass and the drums (both MIDI) and sought for appropriate RealTracks later. Which means that I did not take into account what BIAB can do and what it can’t. Maybe you will notice that there are some triplet pushes in the song - although it seems to be able to do the most wondrous things that’s something BIAB doesn’t support (yet), I think (please correct me, if I’m wrong!).

So I had to literally cut out small parts of the guitar and organ tracks to make them fit which luckily worked out better than I had feared.

Maybe you will notice that the whole thing doesn’t sound as good as my former tunes - no wonder: Maha is still ‘out of office’ and I had to do the whole sound thing almost all on my own. And I admit that I’m a complete mixidiot (and I'm afraid I cannot blame my tinnitus alone). When

I played the result to Maha, she advised me to slightly tweak the voice and bass EQ. What the heck - I tried my best and all I can do (for a million reasons) is hope so much that Maha will be on board again soon !!!

There's no video yet and to be honest: I don't know if there will ever be one.

I'd be glad if you enjoyed the listen - take care everybody - stay sage and safe,

Stefan

=============================

This is the band:
Gene Rabbal, B3 org (RT 671)
Mark Lettieri, g (R T3251)
Miichale Thompson, g (RT 1435)

The wonderful solos were played by:
Mike LeDonne, org (RT 1493)
Ian McDougall tb (RT 1334)
Eric Marienthal,ts (RT 1776)

Additiona MIDI

Drums: MTPowerDrums 2
Bass: Native Instruments Factory Selection
Horns (tb, tp): Big Fish Vintage Horns

Me: vocals Lyrics

I used BIAB, Reaper and the BIAB VST plug-in (great stuff !), Neutron 3, Nectar 3, Ozone 9 advanced and Tonal Balance.

December 16, 2021 User Showcase Song - Going West

I have faced a lot of problems with both my computers (a Windows and an Apple) and couldn't do a thing. I nearly got depressed. Well... in a way I was. and I'm very sorry I couldn't react to all your posts on 'Just a song', but I told you why.
This song I made with Scott was nearly finished when these problems started. I needed to fix one second of the lead guitar...

But enough of those problems. The song is ready and that is all that matters. It is called: Going West

It deals with how we work 'together', as you can see on the cover of this song on SoundCloud. And the state of our earth. A bit ironic, but with humour too. In a way a Christmas song; best wishes for 2022
And Scott did his utmost to gave the song that lovely touch only he can do.

We hope you enjoy it,
Hans and Scott

December 09, 2021 User Showcase Song - Shadows of Evening

Imagine you're back in the early 60's - when Life was simple. 'Beat groups' sprang up everywhere and some, like the Shadows and The Ventures became guitar instrumental mega stars. And are still revered today.

So this tune goes right back to those roots from 60 years ago - just Bass, Rhythm guitar, Drums and Lead guitar, with a little extra 'strings' in the chorus as was typical of the time.

Relax and enjoy.

This is a song which I would describe as a Covid era meditation......kind of a Covid blues which is not blues but more jazz/Bossa fusion. BIAB has really turned me on to the Bossa vibe. And again I used a mute trumpet.....have completely fallen in love with that sound! Hope you enjoy and would love to hear what you think.
