I did simplify the chord progressions as you suggested, but I lose the dynamics of the other instruments. I would like to retain the progressions for all instruments except the synth pad.

Thanks.


Question: when you did that, did the progression on the pads work like you wanted?

If so... and you can't get the other instruments to sound good.... this is a case where, to get the song finished like you want, you may need to have 2 versions in BB. The one you want and the simple one for the pad part. You then export the tracks and combine them in a DAW.

Have you tried opening that song in Real Band and see how the pads work there? Remember that RB is a DAW and if you can get it to sound like you want, you can always import just the pad part from BB.

Where there's a will, and some out of the box thinking, there's always a way to get it done.

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.
