Hi Gang I bought BIAB last Friday,and today I tried having a go at writing something,just to see how it sounded. I have done the first verse of Danny Boy,and played my guitar as the melody. My question is to me the backing seems a bit dull and lifeless,I suppose I could try some EQ,but then again it might be my fault. So if you would have a quick listen and let me know what you think please. Thanks Alan http://app.box.com/s/q1qum7844atoya3heuk1

Over all very nice,
But.... your guitar is way too bright to fit in the mix, or as you suggest the backing is too dull. This is a common problem that I also have at time. So the backing is too muddy. Try to remove the strumming guitar - or brighten it up with high end EQ. Ideally we would want to feel that the band was all together when recording. In this case it don't feel that way. Is the backing bass and guitar midi? If so what synth are you using to voice them. So for drums.

Thanks jazzmandan
The backing is all real style,a country backing with the Steel guitar removed,no midi.
I am in a way glad you agree it is a bit muddy,now I know I can add some EQ.
Thanks
Alan

Alan,
I would suggest that rather than "add" EQ, that you subtract EQ, namely the low mids. That will cut the muddiness without the track getting shrill. EQ is basically a volume control for specific frequencies, and it's always better to cut than add. Try cutting around 250-500 Hz. a few dBs and see if that helps.
Regards,
Bob

Good job on Danny Boy. I agree with Jazzmandan but would suggest also that in addition to lowering the level of your lead guitar in the mix and doing some eq on the tracks that you experiment with the panning and volume levels of the BIAB tracks and if you have the ability to do so, maybe add an effect such as reverb or delay to one or more of the BIAB tracks. This will create more depth and spatial separation in the BIAB backing track.
Adding chords to the song can also help. Add some sevenths, major sevenths or minors to cause Biab to create a more complex and interesting backing track. In some cases, the more complicated the chart, the more realistic and dynamic the tracks become. Not always the case but it may be something to experiment with.
