Some of this, some of that -- my last CD project was cowboy songs

Mostly originals, some covers of public domain songs

Commercial...I hope!
Quote:

What human instruments do you add to your Biab/RB arrangements?



I used to create simple demos with only lead guitar added to BiaB. Now I mostly use the program to create a midi template and record pretty much all the instruments after I port it over to PTPA
Quote:

Do you port your tunes from BIAB into another DAW (eg. Sonar etc) to finish them?



PTPA, as mentioned. It has been my primary recording app ever since the ability to record was added. I do have RB now but I haven't really experimented with it yet.

Do you play live with Biab?



No.

What are you currently working on?



A mostly acoustic set of songs, many of them referencing Florida in some way.

Nice Topic Mel.
Ok, here goes:

Styles: pop, classic rock, country, bigband, jazz
Covers/Originals: On stage mostly covers, when writing it's all originals.
Fun or Commercial When solo on stage purely commercial, when with the band it's pure for fun
Instrument(s) Vocals, guitar and some very basic keyboard typing (yes, that's exactly what I mean )
BiaB to other DAW: I use Cubase 5
Play live with BiaB? No, on stage I use professional backingtracks (when solo) or I play with my band.
Current project: Believe it or not: I am working on my first album and we're trying to get the first single out in May

What styles?
Celtic, Baroque, Classical, Brass Quintet or Quartet. Jazz Standards.

Covers or Originals?
Mostly music that is at least 100 years old, plus anything from 1900 to 1960.


Fun or commercial (or somewhere in between!)
Both

What human instruments do you add to your Biab/RB arrangements?
Piano, Keyboard, Horns, and the bride plays almost anything, but usually flute.


Do you port your tunes from BIAB into another DAW (eg. Sonar etc) to finish them?
I do not .

Do you play live with Biab?
No, it is missing too many time sigs and it is easier to walk in a venue which has a piano and take a music stand for my wife. A lot of our Celtic stuff is a pain to force into three four time so we just go accousitc.

What are you currently working on?
Our Brass Band has a concert on April 1, so we are in rehersal. We also play most of the same concert in Toronto at the Sony Centre the following Saturday, as part of a brass festival.

http://www.hssb.ca/indexANNOUNCEMENTS.htm

Other than that we are working on a piano and flute arrangement of A Nightengale Sang in Barklay Square, and I am working on a set of variations for flute and piano based on Rhuddlan Marsh (welsh tune).

I primarily use Band in a Box to practice practice practice.......

Converting the Korg PA80 styles to Band-in-a-Box styles for fun and profit. First disk is done, see: http://www.nortonmusic.com/style18.html

Quote:

Covers or Originals?




Songs for my duo, The Sophisticats are often covers and often our own arrangements of popular songs which can be either similar or radically different from the original

Quote:

Fun or commercial (or somewhere in between!)




Both. I play music for a living, and I love to go to work because it's fun (they don't call it playing music for nothing)

Quote:

What human instruments do you add to your Biab/RB arrangements?




Saxophone, wind synthesizer, guitar, flute, tactile MIDI controller, voice, and sometimes keyboards

Quote:

Do you play live with Biab?





I'll answer both because they are related.

I play live using backing tracks that I either made from scratch in a sequencer or exported from BiaB and then finished in a sequencer. See http://www.nortonmusic.com/backing_tracks.html for detailed instructions on how I make them and how I use them on stage.

Quote:

What are you currently working on?




Making backing tracks for a couple of requests that have come in fairly frequently in the past couple of months.

I've been working on a back track to use while "Cat Fishing" and playing the harp, but so far none of the standard style's worked.
Any suggestions...!

Clip a small brass bell on the line up near the tip of the rod, that way you can spend less time watching the bobber and more time practicin' on that harp...

Best bait fer catfish is the old tried and true aged beef heart on a treble hook IMO. Age it in a mayonnaise jar covered with cheesecloth on the back porch for several days. Phew. But the big cats love it and it proves to be quite resilient out in the water, that way you get even more time to drink beer, er, practice that harp.

Incidentally, when night fishing on the riverbank (is there any other way to catch catfish?) I have found that music really attracts the cats. So does the prerequisite bum's bonfire. Try a boombox turned almost all the way up or as high as you can stand it anyway. Awhile back we discovered a fishin' hole where all the catfish seemed to prefer Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon with Steely Dan Aja as a close second...

I once caught a catfish in the Monongahela river outside of Pittsburgh that scared me it was so large. Thought I'd snagged a log. When it got close enough to shore to shine the light on the thing, its head was a good two feet across and the tentacles seemed to go on forever, as did the part behind the head.

I knew right what to do.

Pulled out mah knife, flicked it open with my thumb -- and cut the line!

Hi...My first post on this side of our forum but have asked on BIAB many times.
I'm trying to learn Country Pedal Steel. I do play electric bass, guitar, uke, & Hawaiian steel but you need to be a smart octopus to play country steel. Three foot pedals, four knee levers & a swell pedal are quite a challenge
Hank
P.S. Is fun though

Wow, even we sedate Canucks who fish sturgeon carry a rifle and dispatch the thing. Got one you had to leave the tailgate down on the F150 to haul home. Had won a wee chainsaw the week before at an axe throwing contest and put vegetable oil in the chain oil resevoir and cut it into steaks. Pretty greasy. The rest got cut up and my neighbour used it for trapping. Reminds me to call the trapper to see if he got the dang beaver outta the creek behind the cabin. They flooded the trail in so bad we had to canoe, and I hate to waste them big rats with a gun when the fur is no good, but the tail is fine eating.

When I worked south of Longlac I was the one to deal with the beavers. 3 red crackers with fuses tied to a pole into the culvert (usually dammed there), and 3 more in the house. No more flooded road. My mother said once "they pay you all that money to drive around and blow stuff up?" Yup, what else did the fire marshal have to do when it rained?

Handgun.

Stainless 9-shot Taurus .22 mag w/3"bbl in the tackle box, the "kit gun" dontcha know.

Handy for dispatching poisonous snakes and such, too, the first two rounds to come up are typically going to be snake shot rounds.

I generally always have mah Colt in mah pants, too, but that is typically reserved for the miscreant human being types who wish to interfere with life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

I just didn't have the heart to kill a fish that managed to grow that big, John.

(And perhaps he was a bit large and scary, too... )

Cat Fishin...!
I beg to differ wit cha, Cat's don't like Pink Floyd.
I've been testing some of the BIAB styles for the last 2 nights and have found that between the hours of 11:00 pm and 1:00 AM they like "SWAMPROK" style played at 190BPM and played in A m on a C harp with the volumn up about 90 percent...!

Up here we try NOT to catch the catfish.. never understood the draw to those things.

Much prefer a nice Musky or Pike for a fight.. and walleye and bass for eating. An occasional perch or salmon fits in nicely too. Seems the carp are replacing the cats more and more every year anyway, at least up around the Great Lakes.
They have opened the sturgeon fishing up again in these parts. They stopped it for a while because they were disappearing, guess they are rebounding now. Can't keep them under 52" or so. My brother dives once in a while and tells me he saw one in some rock outcroppings that was bigger than he was. He had the same reaction Mac had to that catfish- get some distance between.
Back in Illinois (Rock Cut State Park) I hooked a huge cat that pulled me around in my boat for a couple hours. I just let him pull me around the whole lake as I wasn't making any headway getting him up from the bottom. He finally got the line under a fallen tree with him on one side and me on the other in about 6' of water.. that's when I cut the line and went home with nothing but a memory.

What styles?

Any Style(s) that fit. I also use hybrid styles and I’ve been known to save the same song with different styles and either merge or mix and match in my sequencer.

Covers or Originals?

Yes - both

Fun or commercial (or somewhere in between!)

Mostly fun

What human instruments do you add to your Biab/RB arrangements?

Guitar, bass and with Pumping Station Road harmonica and vocals

Do you port your tunes from BIAB into another DAW (eg. Sonar etc) to finish them?

I start virtually every song in BiaB and finish everything off in Sonar.

Do you play live with Biab?

No

What are you currently working on?

A couple of jazz and new age guitar songs and a few songs with Pumping Station Road.


The fitness trainer asked me, "What kind of a squat are you accustomed to doing?" I said, "Diddly."

Don'tchoo knowit, bro. Well, where I come from we generally et the muskies and pike, too.

I've never been too fond of the mushy catfish although I know a lot of folks who prefer that.

Now, for just plain good eatin, I still go for a mess o' Bream (Bluegill to Yankees) or some Papermouths (Crappie) caught on superlightweight tackle or the long pole, man. Fry 'em up and serve with hushpuppies, baked beans 'n beer.

The catfishing at night on the Pittsburgh rivers is more of a reason to dress badly and sit up nights bein' loud 'n drinkin' beer. At least for me it was.

The one fish I won't eat is a doggone river Carp.

Recipe for Carp:

1 nice sized Carp
3 or 4 galvanized roofing nails
1X6 pine board a little larger than the Carp

Nail the Carp to one side of board and prop up close to the fire. After about ten minutes, pull the Carp off of that side and nail it to the other side of the board, prop it back up close to that fire and let it bake for another twelve minutes or until the Carp is flaky tender.

Remove the Carp from the board, throw the fish into the fire and eat the board!!

Yeah, nice plate size crappie are well worth the effort. And once you find one... well you know. ..dinners accounted for.

I agree with the carp recipe. They make good fertilizer..
