Ain't No Stopping Me

This is way out of my comfort zone for sure! If the world were flat I'd have one foot hanging over the edge; that is how far from my comfort zone I am.

I'm not sure this is even music so please don't judge my musical abilities based on this EDM. At least I think it is EDM; I'm too old to know if it is or isn't!

Lyrics:
Ain't no stopping my - many time
Ain't ain't etc - many times
Ain't no stopping - many times

BiaB style = Sound of Silver - House

Bass = Kontake - mini broken bass
Piano = Ultra Analog VA3 - preset - Plastic POP-digital Plastic
Guitar = Ultra Analog String Studio VS-5 -preset - Romantic Nylon - Dreamy Pad
Drums = different drums from different Steven Slate SSD-5
Strings = Ultra Analog VA3 - preset -Space Sweep

Via my keyboard controller:
Vocal = Kontakt - preset - Vox - no stopping
Effect = VacuumPro - preset - Missle

I did have fun with this and I was surprised what I could do with BiaB. I have never done or even heard anything like this in the showcase.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

An interesting listen and agree that this is somewhat unique to the forum.
A well constructed piece and certainly imaginative.

Nicely done.

Well, it was an unexpected listen as well. I've heard plenty similar in my indie listening (and have even done a few myself with loops). This sounds great, first off. The mix is stellar, to my ears. I do think your next experiment in the genre should explore breaks...every 16 bars or so?...with a major one midway. I don't know the "rule", but that sounds right to me. As it is, still a very enjoyable experience that had me moving in the chair. No stopping you indeed.

Wow - nicely done, and when you said you stepped out your comfort range you weren't kidding. Definitely unique for you, but it panned out nicely. Certainly a change of pace for the forums and yourself, but it flows nicely and I thought the mix sounded superb.

Thanks for sharing!

This is really good, Mario! It's good to get out our comfort zone from time to time. It opens up new lanes of creativity. I think that is very important!

I move around from daw to daw, and instrument to instrument to keep creative juices flowing. And every now and then, I will jump genres, just to stay alive, creatively.

Great job on this one! All your music has an element of tv or film quality. I can hear this in a movie or tv show.

Thanx Peter. I think that "somewhat unique to the forum" is the understatement of the year!

Thanx Tangmo, it was surprising to me that someone here actually has experience in this genre. With that being said I greatly appreciate your constructive criticism. I need all the help I can get on songs like this as it is not my bag or strong suit.

Thanx so much Deryk! I went way out on a limb on this one!

Thanx. I'll bet that you could do something like this if you really wanted to it. BiaB did most of the work for me!

Steve, what TV show would you use this in? Most Wanted or Cops?

Thanx for listening and the very nice comments. I stick with one DAW as for me to switch between DAWs does not promote creativity. It promotes high blood pressure!

If PGMusic is playing this loudly over the company intercom it would be to rid the building of spiders and rodents grin

Thanx for listening and commenting, I appreciate it.

Hey Mario.
Seems like you anf FJ are drinking some happy potion lately. I need some of that! Share!!!

Unusual and brave experiment. Very different from what I have heard from you. Kudos to you for trying stuff from different angles!

P.S. Funny thing is, I went to gym today and was doing the treadmill thing and your tune helped me to maintain the pace... Maybe you should rent this out to gyms across the nation? smile Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Well, that was a fun listen!

Between you and floydjane, 2020 just might be the breakout year for BiaB users to start working in unexpected genres! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

OH NO! THE EDM GUYS HAVE INVADED THE FORUM!!!!

HAHAHAHA!

Very infectious.

Like Tangmo, I thought some breaks (or DROPS as us kids like to refer to them smile ) would be a good addition.

Well done. Careful of that edge....Once you fall over, there may be no coming back smile wink

Hopefully other will see that BiaB can be used in any genre, just use your imagination.

Floyd, don't worry. After I finished this one I ran as fast I could from that edge!

Thanx for listening.

An Olde Timer such as yourself remembered all the lyrics, well done.

The piece was an interesting listen really well done. Not at all what I would have thought. Thanks you.
