This piece was an experiment in using Sinsy (vocal synth in Band in a Box). I had a few difficulties in getting Sinsy to sing all the words. It seems Band in a Box 2017 or something I am doing wrong in using it caused many words to come out as short uts and ahs and shhh sounds. I talked with my brother about it (he is a musician also and a composer). He suggested putting the melody line into Finale and exporting it as an XML file. I did that and went online to the Sinsy site and uploaded the XML file. When the wav file was sent back to me I then imported that into Band in a Box. It worked! I further went on to harmonizing it in Band in a Box and the result is here.

I used these RealTracks:
Style is _CBALAD2.STY (Country Ballad w/ Pedal Steel )

RealTracks in style: ~518:Bass, Electric, Pop HalfNotes Ev 085
RealTracks in style: ~365:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085
RealTracks in style: ~362:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085
RealTracks in style: ~363:Pedal Steel, Background Ev 085
RealDrums in Song: NashPopBallad-01-SStCHHK2,SnLHHK [Multi]: a: NashPopBallad-01-SStCHHK2,SnLHHK [Multi]b: NashPopBallad-01-SStCHHK2,SnLHHK [Multi]

Here is the Song- It Is Your Love

What an excellent choice of just about everything.

Beautiful song, and very versatile demonstration of Sinsy.

Thank you for the comment. The vocal was not easy to get right. Sinsy should work right in BiaB but for some reason, I can't get it to sound correct. Hopefully, that will get fixed soon. I am sure with some work on my part at phoenetic spellings of words, I could get it to sound a lot better.

I appreciate your comment though. smile

Thank you. I did forget to mention that I layered the drums in this piece. I used the NashPopBallad RealDrums and added the AfucheShakerEV8(single) to it using the MultiDrums in RealDrums menu.

I am glad you liked it. blush
