Do you realise how long it would take to listen to all 5000 demo songs?






Well, I have.

But it was done over a long time, starting with BB 3 or so. I really can't recall the actual version number I started out with, but do indeed remember that it was on a Windows 3.11 machine, one of those Compaq portables that looked more like a Singer Sewing Machine than a computer *grin*.

As each new styles folder was released, I would spend the time Juking the new folder's demo songs in the background while doing other work. When hearing something interesting, would make a note of it.

Knowing the Styles well is not mandatory, but for the pro who works day in and day out, it can become that way.

Just pick one demo folder at a time and Juke it in the background. You may not hear them all, but I can almost guarantee you will hear something that may be the impetus to a new experiment, songwriting experience or production number.

One of the tricks I use is to start the Jukebox on the Demo Song folder and then MUTE the Melody track. That way I only hear the accompaniment part. This really gets the creative juices going on some of them.
