Excellent tune. Loved the vocal and lyric. I can see how BIAB would be an excellent tool for getting basics of the out to the rest of the band. thank you Scott! we appreciate the listen and the great comments! yes, BIAB and RB both have been great tools for me to use for writing the songs, getting a demo created and using for backing as I play and sing to create the final! I love it! I look forward to using 2016 on my newest creation!

" I assume it's OK to post" You should assume, and safely so! As you noted, there is simply no alternative to the implication of the word 'IF' in that statement, but that there will be legitimate (iow, allowed) posts (yes, by PG CUSTOMERS) where BIAB or RealBand have NOT been used. If PGMusic had different intentions, they would have changed that statement by now. But, that would be a bizarre choice...show me a comparable forum where dear CUSTOMERS would be so prohibited. My workaround: if any feathers remain ruffled, just render your tune through a PG Music EQ plugin (if it's perfect now, just breathe on one of the "knobs") ...problem solved!  thank you so much! great tip! I will definitely remember that!

Reece,
Really nice song. Well done. Love it! I'm sure Sean's son appreciates and enjoys it.
Steve
Thanks so much Steve! I appreciate the great comments and I know Sean appreciates it as well for his son! wow! you're in canyon lake! several years ago my wife and I used to drive from Ft. Worth to San Marcos every weekend because our special needs son was in an inpatient program there! man that was a long drive every week!

Good tune, good energy, good production!! Has that nice 70's rock feel. Vocals remind me a bit of Queen. Enjoyed the listen! Take care. Greg

I like the tune and for one user certainly see the use of BIAB as a composing tool, I do it every day.
Also, I find that the use of certain BIAB tracks as a "bed" over which you lay your own tracks (even if Real Tracks are low in the mix) help render a sonic warmth and pocket to the sound you would not otherwise get--especially drums and bass.
But, great song! I really liked it!

HI Reece ...
we have a grandchild with a mild form of autism. We surely can relate to this song. The tracks are well-mixed and the balance is just right. Loved the strong vocals and the message, as well.
As far as the discussion on the appropriateness, this is our position:
People who have been dedicated members of the site and have been kind enough offered help and support to others regarding BIAB issues have earned the right to post here, regardless. But, that's just our take ... certainly not official from the PG Music folks.
What we do, if we've created song with a different software ... and we occasionally do ... we just add at least one BIAB track, usually strings, organ or something similar. It can be very soft or up front. For us, that removes any question of the song's validity on the forum. In a few days, we are going to post a Christmas instrumental we wrote on other software, then finished it out with BIAB strings.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas ...

I've listened to this a few times and am amazed at the professional sound. The mix is excellent. A friend, Jay, is a carer and, with 3 others, looks after autistic children at school and some weekends and we,and the gang as we call them, bump into each other in strange places! I played this, on my pad, to them in a supermarket cafe a few days ago and got quite a response!! The gang enjoyed it  Well done. Alyn

Alyn Hi Alyn - thanks so much! this is actually Sean's first mix with our group. Mike and I are pretty experienced at mixing, but Sean is not and we helped him through the process, so he will be VERY pleased to hear you say his mix sounds professional! i'm sure he will also be pleased to hear your story about sharing it with your friend and "gang!" thanks! that means a lot!
