Hello the gentle members,

I am fan of Biab.

It's the first time that i deposed a song made with biab and studio one 4. I presume that it is the good section.

This song( style ballad or easy listening) was, first, created with bab, I used realtracks like quarted strings and fingerpicked guitar. After imported the tracks in studio one 4, some vst were added (mandolin, bass etc. The thema is love for everyone (in the covid19's time).

You can discover my song and my other songs( some other created also with biab) on soundcloud under the name janijackflash.

Thanks for your comments

Hi Floyd,
Thanks commenting on my instrumental music. I am a new member of this club and I don't know the rules of this great family. Yesterday I spent over an hour to register and drop off my music. The procedure is not obvious, but I am sure that I could stiffly make comments on your compositions and those of others

@Dero13,

Listened twice to really take it in - there's so much going on here. This is excellent. I think it would work really well as a soundtrack. I can just picture a movie scene where the camera is high above the ground while hills, mountains and trees roll by below. This is one of those songs that you don't appreciate properly the first time around - you have to let it carry you away and really let it sink in. The more I listen the more I like!

Dear club members
I want to thank :
Rob 4580
Janice and Bud
Ironbarkbob (on soundcloud)
for posting an encouraging message about my instrumental music.

Special thanks to
EdZ314
who took his time to analyze my non-standard styles and who brings his time to advise me. I will answer you personally on soundcloud because you are a person that I appreciate.

I have a style that does not fit into the usual styles of Biab but I tried to show you that you could use realtracks to get out of the styles usually used.

You should know that I used melodyn from Celemony to correct some quartet strings and violin lines of the realtracks used. It would be interesting for Biab to create more orchestral realtracks to address musicians touching film soundtracks because the world of music is undergoing profound transformation, especially with the arrival of artificial intelligence which will allow everyone to create music perfectly suited to his feelings and which unfortunately will come at the expense of real musicians. We can see that all the musicians think that they created the musical nugget but the styles change quickly and the young generation is not interested in music that is too sophisticated. When we think that Pink Floyd, ahead of its time, with two chords and a solo guitar in crescendo of five minutes managed to keep thousands of fans going, we have the right to ask ourselves questions about the feelings of the fans.

Friendly and best regard

This is really good and a perfect example of what can be done with RTs, MIDI, and a very creative mind. The mix is spot on. Definitely a song fit for a movie.

I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Welcome to the forum!
I thoroughly enjoyed the soundscape you created; a gently uplifting mood with a lovely flow.
It would interest other listeners to see a list of the tracks; it all works well together!

REALLY enjoyed this relaxing melody. Perfect choice of instruments. Strings are ideal, mandolin excellent and the bells really help to make this a beauty

Dero13,
Nice track! I believe you done a great job managing melody with all the modern and classical instrument lines, everything has it's own space and flows very well. Nice work on mandolin! Liked it.
Thank you for sharing!

Great work, it is as many have said, cinematic. I agree that BIAB should do more strings. I wish they would do fifty more strings RealTracks and sell them separately, I would buy it no problem. Keep up the good work!
