New bluegrass song using BIAB 2014 audiophile Mac version. Time To Get My Frontier OnBy Jamie Archer and Terry Edwards Listen here: SoundcloudVocal - Jamie Archer Mandolin - Terry Edwards (bridge only) All other instruments use BIAB real tracks: Bluegrass rhythm guitar Resophonic guitar soloist Fiddle soloist Mandolin soloist Upright bass RealTracks imported into Logic Pro. All plugins (EQ, compression, reverb, etc) are Universal Audio using their quad card. Workflow: Compose song in BIAB with guitar and bass, port to Logic Pro. In BIAB regenerate each soloist instrument several times, render individual files, drag to Logic Pro. In Logic Pro meticulously cut and paste each instrument waveform with hand drawn volume curves to back up the vocalist. Thanks to the BIAB Mac team for supporting Mac and bluegrass! Hope you like the song! - Terry This eastern girl’s in need of some adventure Tires singing to me on the highway Those cool fall nights amid the timber Dreaming ‘neath the Milky Way makes my heart sway Time to get my frontier on Time to get my frontier on Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming I hear you calling And I’m moving on …I’m moving on City lights fade from my rear view mirror They morph into the silver moon and stars I surrender to the aura and the mystery Of a big sky, mountains, Jupiter and Mars Time to get my frontier on Time to get my frontier on Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming I hear you calling And I’m moving on …I’m moving on (Instrumental solo) (repeat chorus) Dreams come alive with every mile that I ride and I feel free Black steel spinning spokes Horses rumbling ‘neath me stokes This fire in my soul (repeat chorus and outro)

Terry and Jamie,
The 1st 22 seconds of this threw my "rock" ears into confusion but as Jamie started to sing I thought WOW I am enjoying this. So I pressed replay and understood the intro a bit better.
Bluegrass was not my favourite genre but with songs like this I could easily become a convert!!
What a great song to start my day.
I look forward to more
Alyn

Hi Terry and Jamie, So this seems too be the last new song off the year Having read Alyns comments I listened twice. Your song is perfectly put together,mixing must have taken days and is very well done. Jamie, your voice is wonderful. But with all that you have this bluegrass soul,that I, as a European, could never produce. Well done, enjoyed it very much, happy New year ! Fred

Nice acoustic stuff there.
I like it.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi Jamie and Terry.
This may be your first post here, but it's fairly obvious that you're not new to this game. Everything about this track points to years of experience in both song-writing and recording and the whole package just screams out "professional".
Like Alyn and Fred, I don't get exposed to a lot of Bluegrass this side of the Atlantic, but it doesn't mean that I can't appreciate how good this is. It's no surprise to me that my old pal Floyd likes this one and he has to be the expert on Country around the forum.
Really nice choice of RTs and a wonderful vocal by Jamie. Looking forward to hearing more of your stuff in the New Year.
Oh, and welcome to the forum!
ROG.

Solid song and mix. Well sung, and I love Jamie's country wail.
Good title - an intriguing choice of language that made me want to listen and find out what the song was about. Nice inner rhymes and alliteration in the lyrics.
I especially love the lyric "surrender to the aura and the mystery".

Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
