generating quikie endings.
lets say you want to build a lib of drum hits on their own and/or
instrument endings at different tempos for different styles.
or stops or whatever.
notice to the right of tempo in bb...
3 boxes.
bar for begin of chorus, bar for chorus end n no of choruses.
an example...
copy cha_Mod1 from bb dir to your favs folder.
make sure you have real drums as default.
set the 3 boxes to 1/1/1
dble clik on the c chord.
hear the ending ??
solo the drums if you just want real drums.
if you wish change the extreme right box ..no of choruses to a 3.
once again dble clik on the c chord.
now try this..,.for variety.
at bar one c chord...
replace C with C followed by 2 full stops...
ie C.. <<enter
dble clik now on bar 1. c chord.
NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE ?? to the ending ??
now try C...<<enter
ie C with 3 full stops.
notice the difference ??
now lets get "winky"..lol.
enter in first 2 cels..
C.. to the right of 1a.
play..notice the diff ??
for example you could use the above ideas
n experiments for all sorts of drum shots n endings etc .
eg..to right of tempo..set no of choruses to 3 ..
and bar for begin n end to 1.
now in first two cels..
enter>>^^C n Gm..
n generate...NOTICE THE DIFF ??
now try ^^C.. n Gm.. in first 2 cels ,
notice the diff ??
experiment..jolly good fun..lol.
experiment with pushes n shots n holds etc etc ..
its all in the manual.
now lets get winky again..
in the above example clik on intro,
n generate the intro cels..
then solo the drums n load up a nashville.
see that first C2 cel ??
lets bonk around with it..
enter C...
hear the diff ??
load up different real drums n experiment.
lastly notice the last cel where it says end ??
try eg ^^C n listen to the drums on ownsome.
when i regenerated here i got a smoking final drum
short solo.

changeing the cheese.
you dont have 10k synths n ya dont have expensive plug ins
out the ying yangs..,
just that crummy on board sound chip to use with bb.
so ya gotta work wit wot ya got..right ??
cos yer poor like moi..lol.
bring up that cha_mod1 again...
i chose the cha cha for the cheese..lol.
enter in first 4 bars..
C/G/bflat/C twice n generate.
sounds cheesy right ??
(tempo is 135)
MAKE SURE END BAR IS BAR 4.
for this short test.
load in rockhardmodernev1 real drums.
n generate.
now its starting to ROCK.
now lets replace the midi bass.
load in a real trak bass..
try various n mix n notice the diff ??
hmm...me starting to like that C/G/bflat/C
progression.
experiment now with on the non real traks
ie .denoted by YELLOW ie midi...
both changeing the instrument patch for midi OR
loading in a real trak...
useing that C/G/Bflat/C short progression n looping etc.
in this example ive ended up with a rockier result.
another idea is to put the cheesier stuff more down at
the back of the mix.
(for example on my song noradioplay..
my quikie first biab song (no 9 song on motagator player),
the acoustic gtr is down to one side.)

so we started off with a cha cha..lol..
n if youve done it right.. rocked it up.
the key to changeing the cheese is to find either a better sounding
midi instrument patch (top left) that fits the song better
and/or useing a real trak instead n mixing n matching.
and/or loading in a freebie plug in in your daw
once youve imported the bb midi traks.
CHANGE THE CHEESE !!
EVEN IF YOU HAVE ONLY
A CRUMMY ON BOARD SOUND CHIP !!
i like edam myself..lol.

retd puter engr.
daft songs at
www.motagator.net/bmanning
(songs no 9 n higher use new biab2011.)
what is the black art of audio engineering ?.
all puters get obsolete in the end..lol.
