It's been a while since I posted a song here. With the help of the RealTracks and RealDrums in BIAB 2010 (Christmas present!), I recorded a tune I wrote earlier this week titled, "The People of Haiti Sang Hymns." With TCHelicon supported harmonies, the only truly "real" part of the recording is my original vocal.

The People of Haiti Sang Hymns

As always, comments are welcome.

Here are a few of the arrangement details:

Style: _SLOBOSP.Sty
Melody: Midi Flute
Audio: Vocal Recorded directly in BIAB (with a post recording volume adjustment in BIAB)
Harmony: TCHelicon 2 up, 1 down harmonized against the chords with some tweaks and output as individual .wav files for mixdown

Mixdown: Audacity (I have PowerTracks and RealBand but I'm not as quick with those tools)

Here's the BIAB Song Summary File:
