Jim, don't forget to factor in the time it will take to upload each completed file, including preview takes in MP3 format sent back and forth. You will need to use a site that can host large files; they won't go as email attachments. And if it were me, I would probably spend that half hour per song just on mastering alone. I've been known to take up to a day to get one song just right for commercial use. A lot does depend on what quality you are looking for and what you intend to do with the tracks.



thanks...good point re: mastering. But if I get a biab file, I can handle the mix and at least a little mastering after the vocals are recorded.

Purpose of the tracks would be demos, not commercial releases and possibly backing tracks for small venue gigs that normally can only afford a keyboard/vocalist.

This request is really a compliment to biab and what they've done with real tracks styles. In days gone by, some gigging musicians wouldn't have been caught dead using biab backing tracks. But now, they can be made to sound really pro-quality.

I can input the changes and experiment until I find the right style but I just don't have the time to get up to speed with intros, endings, repeats, DS and all that stuff.

Thanks all for your replies!

Best,
Jim
