I can't post my 'original' guitar audio recording of this great tune in Showcase as a) it's a 'cover' and b) I dont do video. But - my good friend Phil McGarrick DOES do video and he's a pretty good guitarist too. So here is his video of him playing my arrangement of 'You've Got A Friend In Me' to my BIAB BT. Hope you followed all that. ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96PhmFkYGVw The arrangement was created entirely in BIAB, apart from the Clarinet which is a separate audio recording added at the DAW stage. The Style is _2Pence with additional RTs - RealTracks in style: 1205:Bass, Acoustic, GypsyJazzBallad Sw 110 ('A' Only) RealTracks in style: 1791:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm DixielandMedium Sw 110 RealTracks in style: 1210:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm GypsyJazzBalladJohn Sw 110 RealTracks in style: 1966:Clarinet, Soloist DixielandMediumA-B Sw 110 RealTracks in song: 1543:Synth Pad, PopBelieve Ev16 065 RealTracks in song: 1792:Tuba, DixielandMedium Sw 110 RealDrums [in style:NashvilleBrushesHillbillySwing: a: Sidestick, Brushesb: Brushes, Stick Don't you just love that beautiful Gibson J200. The more I attempt with BIAB, the more amazed I am at its capabilities and what it draws out of me. Cheers Ian Old Guys Rule.The older I get,the better I was!

In my opinion your song arrangement is professional quality. PG Music should obtain the rights to this performance and use it to demonstrate how powerful and professional sounding Band-in-a-Box can be when used by someone that is talented, knowledgeable and skilled.

It was Trev (our VideoTrack) who got me on the right road in a Post in the General section by offering _2Pence as a Style that might suit what I looking for. Boy, did it! Filled it out with a few extra RTs - that TUBA for example is perfect in there. I use it now in my general Club Night 'gigs' Set and it always comes as a big surprise as its is so different to my normal "Shadows" type material. Very bests Ian and Phil Old Guys Rule.The older I get,the better I was!
