Hi all. I have been busy writing instrumentals lately. This track " Your now in the game" only has one BB track (Guitar 2 - 1684 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopPromiseCrispHeld Ev16 100) and that guitar track has been reversed for effect. This highlights how BB tracks can be used in different ways. All comments welcome. Your Now In The Game 1.BPM DRUM - Chaos Break Ya Neck-Unify 2.TRANS - Rev Cymbal-Unify 3.BASS - 3am Jamm Bass-Unify 4.VG-CARBON -Ujam 5.Reverse-Guitar 2 - 1684 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopPromiseCrispHeld Ev16 100 - Band in a Box 6.

Hi Rob,
You've clearly put a lot of work into this track and I really enjoyed the listen.
Lots of dynamics and good sound effects.
Well Done.
Best Regards

Hello Bob,
I had to go into your back catalogue to reassure myself it really was you.
Different, daring and effective mate.
Some excellent grind in some bass bits too.
How's the arborist business going? A few bits in this reminded me of chain saws.
Then again there're two or three of those going in the neighbourhood today interspersed with thunnnnks.
I enjoyed the definite change of direction.
Cheers
rayc

"Your?"
The song is fun, but not my cup of tea.

From the first beats this is totally different than what I expected. Very cool sounds and effects. Gives feeling of walking first time on an empty square full of colorful video boards, excited what is going to happen next. The spoken fits the mood very well.

Wow, that was 180 degrees for you! Your voice is so good, I def missed it. Good work, maybe you can combine this new style with some singing. That would be the best of both worlds!

Rob,
The great thing about BIAB is you can use it for the entire production or just pieces of it and the super thing is that PG Music in no way discourages the minimal use of the program if that's what we need in a project.
The tune is a clever little piece that would/should work in a movie scene if you could get the right persons attention to give it a listen. I feel that this is an excellent track! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Ray.
Thanks for your comment.
Getting a bit old for tree work these days.
Only do the occasional tree for friends these days.
Hope all is going well with you.

Whoa... WHOA! A cool feel, Rob. Man, there's so much in there. I gave it a few trips through my headphones, and I'm beginning to see silhouettes dancing behind my eyelids. You put a lot of work in there, and it was all enjoyable on this end. Thanks.

Hi Rob,
Wow!!!
This is very inventive stuff! I really love what you've done.
I don't play around all that much with loops and synth sounds but you've got me feeling like I'm missing out if I don't start looking at them.
This instrumental is filled with possibilities!
All the best,
Noel
