Several years back I took a subcontracting gig over the phone to provide a bit of Industrial Music for a cameraman's Industrial inhouse training videos.

Use of BB and Realtracks shortened that task from what would have likely taken three or four mandays to Compose, Arrange, Record each and every track, Edit $ etc.

Using Band in a Box, the Melodist feature, some RealTracks and RealDrums, along with some very good sounding hardware MIDI synths, mostly for the Melody Tracks, along with the Sound Track feature applet inside BB -- and the Song Name Generator (which I have filled with my own modifiers and nouns as well as leaving the pg music supplied list intact, Four different underscores, timed, to fit four separate videos.

Was able to put the whole thing together in about a half a day's time, from zero to Mastering.

And Invoice was delivered via email, along with links to the final WAV files.

Different Strokes for Different Folks, man.

I don't care much about the fame thang.

But I do likes earnin' me some munny.

Give half to the wife.

Do that, and she might just buy you the next music goodie when ya get the GAS pangs.
