This is the first track I have recorded using BIAB as a complete backing band. I edited and mixed in Logic. I switched the drums out and used EZ Drummer loaded with third party midi. I am playing strat.

Real tracks 'Stormy Blues' for piano, bass and rhythm guitar.

Chris,

Cool blues number. Percussion and bass really pop and standout this. Nice production touches on the horn. A toe tapper for sure. Nicely done!!

All my best,

Deej

Thanks everyone. I have tried replying here a couple of times but my posts seem to disappear into the ether.... Maybe the moderator has the weekend off?

Thanks Floyd. When I was looking into BIAB it was actually hearing your and Tommy Cole's tracks in particular that made me realise that BIAB might have some potential as a serious, professional-level tool. I really like how you use it.

Do you use audiophile? At this point I am using the ultrapak and using software to add sonic enhancement to each track. Maybe the audiophile tracks would need less post-production?

Good guitar playing that sits well in the mix. When you got to two solo instruments at once, it was a challenge for my ears. But okay.
