Hi Noel,

First let me say I really did like the song. Very "musical" and a style that BB is well suited for.

As I don't have a lot of experience with BB in general, I am still very much in the experimental stage of using the software. New DAW also...Studio One 4.

My questions are more general. I assume most people start a song off in BB. After the basic idea is devised in BB other embellishments can come from other programs or live playing. If I understand correctly that is the method you used.

For me, it is the opposite. I generally have an idea in my head based on a rhythm pattern/drum beat or lyrics. Those things suggest a style. The style suggest the type of chords used. The chords/drums suggest the bass line.The song gets built from the bottom up.

So...a couple of questions.

Was a 1940s styled jazz quintet a type of music you have listen to in the past?

I though your vocals really fit the style. I could close my eyes and see a 1940 singer in a club. Well...what it would look like in this country.lol

What was the thinking process to construct the vocal?

Do you think it is possible to use BB in the way I described?

Cheers,

Billy
