Great work - thanks for sharing smile


Thanks Deryk!

One of my favorite things to do when messing around with BiaB (usually when I boot the program up with the intention of practicing guitar or bass before getting lost in the vast capabilities of the program that have nothing to do with my practice schedule, lol) is layering loops or the more static Realdrums (generally one the "Great Oz" beats), over the deliciously organic jazz funk/fusion drum styles.

For instance, in this track, in the drum break right after the final verse ends, you have those sample-sounding strings of high hat rolls from the Cloud rap style playing under the oh-so-cool 16th note cymbal rides from the Jazz Funk Fiery style which, to me, is almost reminiscent of early Massive Attack or Portishead.

I gotta say, as someone who's used BiaB for several years now, I was pleasantly surprised to see how much more I learned how to leverage this program by simply putting my nose to the grindstone and actually going about producing a full complete song!
