DeaconBlues09,

I was finally able to watch your video. Great ideas in there. What I do to compensate for the oddities of the Ooh/Aah tracks is pretty much the same idea, but done in a different way.

I usually start off with a standard style, like Park Avenue Soul or something... which has only the standard bass, drums, and two guitar tracks or maybe a piano track.

After I get everything the way I want it, I drag/drop those tracks to acidized wave files and import them to Reaper. Then I go back and put the ooh/aah tracks on the same style I had been using before, but in the place of the piano and guitars.

That will give me 3 tracks of ooh/aahs. I use a combination of the "rhythm" and "background" versions of this, so that one will fill in where the other leaves a gap.

I then drag/drop these ooh/aah tracks to acidized wav files and import them also to Reaper.

If one or more have substantial gaps (which often happens to the "rhythm" one), then I cut and paste within that track to fill it in... inside Reaper.

When mixed into the background and given a bit of reverb, the combination is quite smooth.

I would just like to have the one "rhythm" ooh/aah NOT leave so many empty measures. But it looks like I may have to continue to repair the tracks like I have been.

Thanks for the great video, though. I learned some ways of doing things I didn't know before!
