Hi Josie,

Thanks again for all your kind words!

I think one of the keys to making BB work with the RT/RD is "regenerating". When I first started using BB I HATED the fact that if I simply clicked "play" it would regenerate all the parts. So the lead guitar part, or the rhythm guitar pattern that I liked last time I played it would be changed. I would get so frustrated. Then I developed the habit of saving each part to wav when I am happy with it before it gets changed.

Now the "regenerating" is one of my best friends. I never settle for the first part generated, particularly on solos and cooperating rhythm parts. For some solos, I may regenerate dozens of times, and perhaps even over 100 times on a few, til I hear what I want. This gives each song a little more original feel . Even with all of this, I find that I can do a full arrangement in usually less than 2 hours.

I also try to keep an open mind to experiment with unlikely combinations. Sometimes you can be very pleasantly surprised.

I'm writing this from my iPad and don't have the list of RT/RDs that I used on this song handy. I will get back on tomorrow when I am back at my "studio" laptop and post all the instrumentation.

Thanks again, and hope you have a very blessed weekend!
