Hello all

This song was recorded at my house in 1998 using Cakewalk Pro Audio and a cheap mic. It was originally southern gospel.I had saved it as a bundle file (for those of you familiar with bundle files). All the original music was done in midi with my Roland JV1080. It was written by the vocalist. Using the audio chord wizard I was able to set the chord layout with little effort – what a great tool. I used RealBand for the first time and it work great for this type of project. Once the chords were in place I then chose a style, imported the vocal track from the original cakewalk file (as a wav file) and set the part markers. I used Sonar for the rest of the project. I played the guitar intro using my Digitech RP500 using program number 29 which I thought matched well with the guitars in the style. I “scratched” the count in just to be different.

I am having so much fun learning to use BIAB and this kind of project really is challenging. I know it isn't polished but I am thrilled with what one can do with this software. What a great product.

I hope ya'll like it.

Thanks

Mike

Sounded good. It matched up nicely!

I love the chord wizard too! I have old song I wrote but couldn't remember the chords. It would have taken me awhile to figure them out by hand - BiaB to the rescue!

BTW, in case anyone else "missed the URL to the music", it is at the bottom of MrEd's post.

Hi Mike,

When you said this was a Southern Gospel song, I was expecting to hear, oh I don't know, a Southern Gospel song!

Once I got over the surprise of the Rolling Stones playing backup to a Southern Gospel singer, I really did enjoy this one. Of course, the lyrics are indisputable in my book! It's a good, solid song, with a refreshing approach. I like it.

Keep up the good work!

Steve
