This UT has been a major effort on my part. It is 138 bars including 2 blank startup.I really need comments from you folks.
Good, Bad, Indifferent, limited, whatever.Am ambling down a dark alley.Now that said, I am a creator of stuff, UT's being current stuff. Strings, Choir, and some number of other voicing and ensemble's that I've used do not like choppy chord changes, and high tempo's. With your arrangements try to restrict chords to no more than 1 chord per bar. 2 bars same chord great....etc., Matt and a few others have taught music for a lot of years, so they could enlarge on this. I do have short choir ah's oh's, mmm's etc. but do not fit my personal music goals right now. Also have 2 more 10 min UT's completed. Have to select a demo, upload the 100 meg paks, then test links within a new posting. Demo is in a different post also in the UT Pak I NEVER play/generate a song before loading the UT. Choir, Emotional, Choiristers Pop Ev 60.zip These 10 min templates do not fall off a passing truck.
Please honor my opening request.

Hallo Frank,
I tried your new usertracks, but I get an error message: Errors found with ChordLoop, see file C:\bb\RealTracks\UserTracks\Choir, Emotional, Choiristers Pop Ev 60\Debug_ErrorFile.txt [23-6-2014 20:41:07]
The classical piano did not play after try te generate it and also got an error .
I'm sorry I have no better response at your effort.
THe road is never easy..............
thanks Rob

Rob, First appreciate your inputs.... I too see an yellow flag sometimes. But the UT will still play. Not sure if this is the UT's I create, or its a requirement for the UT's.I NEVER play/generate a song before loading the UT.These are two that I just quickly ran thru. The Classic piano is very busy, so slowed the demo down to 60-65. Classic Piano checkout One.. Classic Piano checkout Two..FWIW, the 1 minute template, IMHO, does not have abilities to cover a lot of chords. Hench attempt to use a 10 minute template. Will take look(listen) and come up with couple more demo's. And yes I did get error message with the 10 min also. Appreciate your inputs, you probably in the sack by now. FWIW, have never been able to find the "Darned" error message file..... Found 2 things, one specific, and second ????
The size has jumped from 100 meg to 160 meg for the UT.
Also in my scoring the template missed one beat within 2 chords.
Completely rebuilt(rendered).
Also I think using ensembles creates some UT use problems.
There are up to 4 voices in the Chorister track.
Yes the yellow flag still exists.This demo is specifically placed here for your evaluation of the choir with
the melody. My ears are not trained good enough to know some of the specific
chord sounds. It is based on the newer 160 meg UT.The chords matching melody ??? Am again to a point of abandonment. Gonna get in my car and drive away forever. LOL. KLADRMANSilverSandWithChoiristerDemo60.WMA Results of evaluation will determine the choristers future. Ready to dump.

I had no problems loading ( no yellow/green warnings ). A little long for listening whereby some of the people in the room got up and left. Rude buggggers. Is that why you said Am ambling down a dark alley. ??? Also to me it sounded a bit like the 2 guitar players were rambling on and on and on. Thank god the organ guy played it nice and straight. The "string" track "guitar..." player to my ears sounded somewhat harsh and twangy. Never the less I more then appreciate your time and efforts to compose/produce this song and to upload it here for our review and a chance to comment.

w,
Which song/s are you referring to ?
FWIW, all of the demo songs I put up are BIAB style demo's by PG.
Sometimes I mute some of the tracks.
The "mixes" are primarily to demo/hear the UserTrack. Hence some
of them are ????
The Song_10M_ACEG_PopEv 60_Template is the template to use
for creating a tempo 60 User Track.
Was not intended to listen too... My bad, should have made that clear.
Thanks for the information, I need to dig myself out of this hole.

Seeker (FrankB):
Well in your opening post above you had this for download: Choir, Emotional, Choiristers Pop Ev 60.zip
Then in that folder you had this song : Choir, Emotional, Choiristers Pop Ev 60.SGU
What did you think i was referring tooo?
I listened to the song you wanted previewed right? Or you had another song you wanted previewed?
No wonder Mr Magoo has a headache.

w,
Ya on the Mr. Magoo.....I'm so "corn-fused" with my work these
last few days.
I've posted about 6 or 7 clips and demo's these last two days.
The WMA file in the folder is the demo.
The SGU file is "A Template" that is used when the UserTrack is
married into a new song.
If you want to use a UT, you'd select the UserTrack name within BIAB.
This would in turn be your new track. Not same as RealTrack, but similar.
If Seeker(FrankB) created a really nice user track then you could use it
within any compatible style and tempo of music.
w, I'm still learning a lot, and more to go.
Again thank you!
