Thank you, guys... much appreciated.

Following Tommy's suggestion, here is a link to my second song, written and recorded yesterday, as a response to the FAWM challenge of the week, to write about "The Weather" -- called Raining Again

I had some problems with this... I adjusted the tempo several times, with a couple of ritardandos, and a general subtle ramping up of the speed (and a couple of key modulations), but when I moved it into RealBand, I found that adding RealTracks ended up with mismatched tempos partway through the track... I bet there is a workaround, but I could not find it. Maybe this also needs to be addressed by the programmers, because we really do need to be able to adjust tempos within a track.

The net result of this is that I used just midi backing, mainly orchestral strings and such, and rendering them through the Coyote SW sounds, well, kind of thin and cheesy-- you think? I may pick up one of the Garritan packages, which would probably help.

I was going for "Tom Waits produced by George Martin," but George was out of town.

By the way, PG, we need some orchestral and classical realtracks.
