So, on this one I decided to "pull out all of the stops" using Real Band and Real Tracks as production tools. This combines an orchestra with an Africa and Latin backbeat and it could not have been done without Real Band unless I had hired George Martin.

Secret:

After entering in chord progression and playing the acoustic, and using live ethnic drums, djembe, maracas, etc., I added real tracks for Bolero Bass RT 1901, RT 1045 (Jazz B-3) and RT 2535, (held guitar.) The audio chord wizard detected the chords (with some tweaks) and when I generated real tracks I also selected "generate midi" to use the midi tracks to create string and orchestral patches in Garritan.

It would have been impossible to do this song in any other set of programs I know of, or at least with as much efficiency and accuracy, and sonic quality.

Hope you enjoy.
