Thanks.


1> Tempted: Look for a basic rock even style. If I was going to cover that I'd pick a rock or hard rock style as the basis. Type out the intro and first verse and chorus chords.... then simply try a few different rock styles to see which one tends to fit the best. That's what is really cool about BB. You can try different styles instantly by clicking. If you find one that sounds good but still want to audition a few more, simply write the style name down so you can go back and find it easily. It's really easy to lose a style in the crowd.

2> Use a DAW for the Fogarty song. Let BB create the parts you need starting with the music..... then move it to a DAW and offset the beginning of the music tracks to allow room for the vocals. Us a click track to keep your place during the vocal intro.

All of my songs are completed in a DAW.... Sonar to be precise. Understand that Real Band is also a DAW and you have that already along with BB.

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.
