Hi Folks.
Might sound silly... But are there demos of complete songs / arrangement SGUs that includes intro, drum parts, tempo, volume, style changes, solo, pushes, holds, ending etc? ... available to learn from? Something complex...
I am fairly comfortable with what I am doing with BIAB, but curious to see how things are done more or less professionally.
Thank you.

Hello Misha
This is a good question, however, not much feedback? I suspect the reason is primarily that most of the "complete songs/arrangements" ultimately come from the user's DAWS and not the BIAB .sgu. Otherwise, a good option maybe to look closely at purchased X-tra Styles which PGM sells. I have seen that on occasion they do some complex stuff in those offerings. Better yet, perhaps we need to get this question to the User Showcase Forum. Ask those guys if they can post the corresponding .sgu file with there final production. I bet we would see some complex applications of the BIAB features from them.

Misha, Interesting request. I'm not sure why it hasn't received more responses.

Dan, Your idea is also interesting. I have reservations though about how well such a request would be received in the User Showcase.

My thought is I doubt most users limit themself to one SGU file per song. My belief is many users have developed a workflow that relies on multiple song files per song, many compositions likely don't have one SGU file.

For example I typically develop a reference song file that outlines the song structure and then create a song file specific for each instrument.

Beats me that there seems to be no "in house" complete song (sgu) example(s) showcasing features in context....
I think it is a good idea to have few of these as reference / demos.

I think it's a reasonable idea. Over to the Wish List?

Well...
I still hope that there are such file(s) exist/available directly from PGmusic, without wishing for them, just hiding somewhere smile
Or that is a fact, that none publicly exist?
