Goodness!! You have no sense of humor? When the fiddle player suddenly goes off in left field I said, 'Fire that player'... just studio humor.... I've recorded for the last 35 years, 17 in New Orleans... I've recorded George Porter Jnr, from the Meters, Joseph Zigiboo Modeliste from the same... Earl King & Mighty Sam McClain... up here in Appalachia I've recorded The Clinch Mountain Boys twice and Ralph Stanley himself, Kenny Chesney & Doc Watson... amongst many great musicians and done countless sessions with some of the best session guys around.... all this just to give the creds that I know what I'm talking about.
Now, I've had BIAB since it was a DOS program and I recommend it to any and all musicians/songwriters as an essential tool... I uwas on this forum a while ago but my email changed so I re-upped.... I ain't a newbie...
I can't wait for the 2012 version so I can upgrade to the latest greatest... it is a brilliant program,but I still say someone needs to produce the realtracks a little better... more tempos and if it is meant to be a B/G part then surely they know where a singer is likely to sing... you start your fill on 2,3 or 4... if I want a solo I'll choose that... that said I did piece together a great sax solo...
You'd really want a CD from me... I promise you...
Stop being so precious..
Love, Hugs & Jesus to you and welcome to my world

Hey Tommy. Thanks for the link to that. Beautiful playing.I was lucky to play with a guy who listened to Billy allot. That was back in the early 70's....learned allot from him. His name was Dick Miller and he was from Binghamton, NY and he was a great player. Lost touch with him but I'll never forget the tone he got out of that Shobud amp and the Emmons twin neck he played. I was inexperienced then and I remember one night asking him on a break what the names of some of the chords were that he was using. He said "####, I don't know....you're a musician...just listen and find 'em!" So that's what I did...and I found 'em!Learned a good lesson that night.
BTW, I'm working on a ballad with style "baladP with steel" and I'm seeing that the steel track likes to play outside too much for my ears...in fact it actually misses an e7 off the root chord of C heading for a 6m for a chorus. Also often stays on the 4 chord when the progression goes back to the 1. Irritating. Can't find a RT substitute and no matter how many times I generate it it never gets completely accurate. Maybe the player thinks the F on top sounds good against the root C chord but if I wanted a sus4 I'd chart it that way. Do you know of a fix or is this just what you get. It's unusable if you can actually hear. Must be an oversight.I see the new Paul Franklin tracks are all soloist...what I need is a sweet back track that plays the chords as I write them.This type of song requires pedal steel and I'm having to mute it or it just clashes with the acoustics.

Hey Knuckler...great response. Great restraint! I didn't take your comments as intended to be offensive at all.I too would love to see the RT's get sharper and would be delighted to have more of them. Sax, B/G pedal steel, more piano and B3 tracks in country, R&B and clean rock and roll but who knows what these guys are dealing with when they lay them down. Must be really challenging to play for a Real Tracks session. i am finding that BIAB is best appreciated for the great writing tool that it is and I think we need to be patient while it evolves. Then again...life ain't forever so the sooner the better. Put it out there guys...I'll buy it in a heartbeat.
