Tim,
My favorite taste in music is presentations like this.
Really enjoyed it.
James Cameron has hot new project going, you may get a knock on your door.
Melody with the guitar picking goes really well, bringing in the Tyros strings is great.
The strings play an important part in your composition.
Question regarding this rendition.
How did you record this?
You have 5 backing tracks including the TYROS ( I have PSR-3000)
And also the also melody and Solo.
Do you have multi track recorder ?
Thanks for sharing you hard work with us.
You've got mail.

Thanks much Frank.
Well I could have exported the BIAB generated wav files to Sonar and recorded the extra parts that way, but decided to se if I could do this project exclusively using BIAb.
I first put in the chords for the song and selected a classical midi style to play while I recorded in the melodies to the melody and solo tracks.
I liked the bass and string parts from that classical style so muted the rest of the style except the bass, string, solo and melody parts.
I then used the record feature in the audio menu to record those parts to a wav file.
Then I deleted both the melody and solo tracks from BIAb. I could have just muted them, but thought at the time I'd need those tracks for other parts.
I replaced the bass part with another bass part from another midi classical style
Replaced the Piano and guitar parts with realtracks and the string part with a RT piano part.
I then recorded again choosing overdub instead of overwrite from the record menu witch added that other bass part to the wav file.
After some adjusting of panning and volume I rendered all of that to a final wav file.
Then converted to MP3 and that's it.
Tim

Tim, that's a stunning piece. Beautifully conceived and executed.
There's a trace of noise right at the end after the instruments end at 3:32 to 3:34. Not sure how you can fix that if this was all done inside BIAB, except editing the MP3/WAV after export from BIAB?
I really enjoyed this piece, you must be justifiably proud of it!
John

Tim,
Beautiful! I envisioned a fabulous nature scene being accompanied by this piece as a soundtrack. It's far better than many "professional" soundtracks that I've heard.
Keep up the great work.

Tim,
Really enjoyed this piece. Much depth and richness and so soothing to the senses. After hearing so much "noise" that is out there on the airwaves this is so refreshing.

Oh, wow, Tim! That raised the hair on the nape o' me wee Oyrish neck. Simply gorgeous orchestral backing track and acoustic strum, so smooth and soothing to listen to. Puts one in a relaxed mood. Thank you, my friend. How you accomplish such beautiful music without sight amazes me. More please.
