Hi all, On July 4th I was messing about with my old 2008 version of BIAB.I put something together using drums,piano,and pedal steel country chord stylings and started singing along with the results.I imported all this into PropellerHead Reason,substituting the GM piano sound for an Abbey Road "Mrs Mills" one,played some Abbey Road organ,double tracked my old Guild acoustic,and added walking bass line.I had only occasionally jammed to BIAB since I'd bought it,but now realize it's great potential as an inspiring and useful musical tool.Have really enjoyed listening to the user music here...some very talented folks abound! Cheers, Tony C (AKA Anthony Fabulous) Here's the recording.. http://anthonyfabulous.com/tunes/America%20The%20Beautiful.mp3

Hi Anthony,
I really enjoyed listening to this. It's a testimony to how good MIDI can sound when mixed with live playing.
Regards,
Noel

Hi, Tony -
Nice job with ATB. I also listened to Man Of Authority - Pilate's Blues. Very cool.

That is way cool! Nice performance and well recorded. Sorry I didn't compliment you sooner.
I'd like to know more about how you put it together. I just got Reason 6 as my primary DAW with the intention of using BIAB (currently 2009.5) to create my beds and then porting them into Reason for massaging and elaboration. What version of Reason do you use? How exactly did you get the Real Tracks into Reason? Did you simply import the MIDI and revoice, or was there more to it than that? I'd love any other insights you can offer, too.
Thanks for sharing.
Richard

Hi Richard,glad you liked the tune.
I use Reason 6.5(got the upgrade for one dollar!).
The BIAB midi and real tracks were quite easily exported.
I saved the song as a midi file with the option for saving the real tracks.
Also made sure to save midi drums on separate tracks as well.
Opened a new blank Reason project and just imported everything in two steps.You should first be sure that the real track files match your Reason project/settings as far as bit rate etc.Also you should set the Reason project to the same BPM as what your BIAB song was.
After importing ,I tried various Reason Refill sounds for the piano until I settled on The Mrs mills one.Since I had also saved the real drums as a midi file I was able to add a bit of Reason bass drum to oomph that end up a bit.Then just added my vocals and organ ,guitar and bass playing.Muted some of the pedal steel and piano where it seemed appropriate.Hope that helps.Reason and BIAB are a good combo for me,though BIAB probably works well in conjunction with any DAW?
Regards,
Tony C

Yes, but as we all know (well, almost all) *snicker* Reason has some very special capabilities of its own, such as being one of the baddest soft synths and romplers around.
How long have you been a Reason user? I have poked a stick at v. 3 for several years but am getting serious with 6. I'm currently taking an online course courtesy of Manchester MIDI School (midischool.com). Check it out. Thanks for answering my earlier questions. I'm hungry to learn all I can about workflow.
I'm active on the PH forums under the same username. Hope to see you there!
