This demo starts off as a melancholy minor swing tune, but in the bridge, breaks into an exuberant lilting major tune. The Electric Bass Pop Sw 190 style is providing the low end, and the rest of the harmonic spectrum comes from the Resonator Guitar Background Hayride Sw 190 and Mandolin, Rhythm Fast Chop Sw 190 RealTracks styles from Set 36. The CountrySwing RealDrums play an understated side-stick pattern during the minor sections, and switch to a more boisterous hi-hat groove for the bridge.

REALTRACKS SET 30 - EXTRA DEMOS

This melancholy blues number features the Electric Guitar Soloist Blues Monday Sw 65 RealTracks style from Set 30. The rhythm section is made up of the Rhythm Electric Guitar style from the same set, as well as the Electric Bass Pop Sw 65 style from Set 25, and the JazzBrushes RealDrums style. Because the two guitars have similar timbres, panning them slightly left and right lets the notes from each style stand out and distinguish themselves.

REALTRACKS SET 31 - EXTRA DEMOS



_BLZ85LP

This slow minor blues features the harmonica and resophonic guitar from RealTracks Set 31, and the distinctly latin flavor is provided by the BossaRockPerc RealDrums style. In this particular variation of that style, the 'A' section features only percussion instruments, and at the 'B' section an understated brushes kit is added. The Electric Bass is provided courtesy of the Pop HalfNotes Ev 85 style from RealTracks Set 22.

_BLZ85ND

In this demo, the Electric Guitar Solo is backed up by both the Resophonic Rhythm Guitar and the Electric Guitar rhythm part, all three from RealTracks Set 31. Two rhythm guitar parts can sometimes cause a slightly cluttered sound, but this can often be completely eliminated by simply panning the two instruments left and right. What was previously "clutter" now becomes an added layer of sophistication. Like the _BLZ85LP demo, this demo also has a slight latin touch due to the use of the BossaBrushes RealDrums style. In this style, the 'A' section (first and last choruses) is played with brushes, and the 'B' section (middle choruses) get an added boost of energy as the drummer switches to the ride.

_BGS_FGS

This demo features all RealTracks instruments from Set 33. The soloist is the Acoustic Strumming Bluegrass Doc Ev 100, and the rhythm section is comprised of Acoustic Bass, Acoustic Guitar and Fiddle. The fiddle here has two substyles, "Chops" for 'A', and "Shuffles" for 'B'. For this demo, the minor section has been designated as 'A', and when the tune modulates to the major mode, the section switches to 'B', so the dramatic change of modes coincides with the change in fiddle playing.

You're killing me here. I can't wait until I can get that BIAB/RB 2009 delivered. Too many possibilities and it will probably be a long time before I ever run out of new sounding stuff (once I get the hang of it). I'm excited.

Peter, You must have been a magician in a previous life! You really have pulled the proverbial rabbit from the hat with this lot! Not forgetting the fabulous team and talented musicians you're working with.... There is simply nothing like it!

These demos are making my wait for UPS almost unbearable!

Wow... you have managed to make music truly modular, in much the same way as computer programming became modular with the advent of Visual Basic.

I am fascinated by the way the "musical Legos" you have provided can be "snapped together" into many shapes, and accessorized or unified by a theme supplied by the musical arranger, complemented by his/her own accompaniment.

This new musical concept you have created is nothing short of evolutionary. If it were a living creature, it would be a whole new species.

I have to say some of this stuff is pretty amazing.I have been playing in bands all my life so it is a little strange to hear this assembled stuff that sounds so real.But even though I can see the potential here, only the dreamy guitar really got me.Maybe it's the nature of the instrument or the part.But that was the one that stood out for me.
Since I'm a bassplayer I have to comment on the funk bass parts.If I played like that on a gig I'd be surprized if I got a second call.Way too busy.Check out Marcus Miller or Will Lee to see how sparse you can be and make the groove happen.As they are those bass parts are not really useable.
Another thing is that often when the drums come out of a fill, there seems to be a slight delay before the tempo continues.
But still, even though i'm a pretty decent guitar player I'm thinking about upgrading just for the dreamy Guitar and the acoustics.
Keep up the good work!

Oh, sooooo many songs to be rearranged or at least tweaked . . . but that is a good thing. Come on UPS!

I also play Bass and Guitar reasonably well, but I find the Real Tracks do such a great job, that I only play it myself if I need a certain riff.
Some of the RT's play things that I might not think of myself, and give me a chance to quickly see what might work.
I've mixed styles between verse and chorus, ie Pop Bass in the Verse and Metal Bass in the chorus. Although this is a little more work, the results are worth it.

I do my audio work in Samplitude (Power Tracks would probably also work for this), and I will take RT's and cut parts out, move things around,
repeat phrases I like, change levels, etc. The extra work gives me results that are going to be a little different than what everyone else is doing.

I agree that some of the RT's are a little limited as they are, but if they were perfect, we'd all sound the same, because nobody would bother to change anything.
I think there is an option to simplify some parts, but I like to be able to choose where the complexity is going to be.

All that to say that Real Tracks have absolutely revolutionized and given life to my recordings.
Get it. You'll still have to work for the best results, but you won't be disappointed.

Could you share a thumbnail sketch about how these were produced? Very impressive altogether. Thanks.

Dr D,
Thanks. These demos were produced directly from Band-in-a-Box.
Just chose the style, typed the chord progression, pressed PLAY. Then pressed the WAV button to render them to a WMA file. No editing/tweaking/processing of the files was done. From start to finish, took about 10 minutes per demo, most of that time is typing the chord progression.

BTW, there are more demos here: http://www.pgmusic.com/#mp1
You click on the RealTracks set that you want to listen to, and the demo displays in the video window. They are easier to use, since they areembedded videos. These are medleys, that were just regular demos, strung together inside Windows Movie Maker to make the WMV video file.


Have Fun!

I did the same as Peter for a "snobbish" friend. My friend didn't realize the track was PG "REAL" and gushed. Then when it was revealed, he was humbled. And to think this is only the beginning.....
