SBmix. re setting up a "frame" in 60 secs in biab. eg 8 or 16 bar repeating loop. i can do this in 60 secs in biab. 1. enter/copy chords for the bars. 2. set up number of choruses to repeat. and gen/play. et bingo. ps...pipe there are quik ways too in reaps dragging out a premade wav to length needed right ? ......................................................... BUT THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES WITH PG GIVING US ALL EVERYTHING WE WANT. please read on. sbmix..you , and others want lots more modern styles (with demos i assume). i want a complete orchestral library and more horns and other real trak instruments like your wonderfull chinese gongs and other instruments. thousands of other pg users want lots of other instruments/styles. do you see where i'm going with this ?
the CATCH 22 in all of this is DISK SPACE.
if pg were to give us all everything we all want , the disk space needed would be MASSIVE. also downloading from pg terabytes and terabytes (peta bytes ?) would become a major stumbling block. this issue was discussed months back includeing comments from pg staff.
thus obviously pg have to make choices. otherwise everything would not fit on the usb disk drives they ship to their user base.
THIS IS A MAJOR LOGISTICAL AND TECHNICAL ISSUE GOING FORWARD.
THUS at some point the user , on any song will have to do his/her custom work. the biab program just cant include every single style with demos known to the human race.
for example ..i had a recent problem. i was creating my song intergalactic spaceship youll find in the pg user showcase. I NEEDED ALIEN SOUNDS for it. BUT i didnt want to use some samples from the net, and thus incur the possibility that someone might say "you used my samples" or some computerised bot comes after me , with all the hassles that entails. SO WHAT TO DO ?
my solution was i CREATED IN MY STUDIO THE SAMPLES FROM SCRATCH USEING MY MOUTH AND MANY MANY ATTEMPTS.
what i'm trying to say, in conclusion, is, no computer music program can do it ALL. ITS TECHNOLOGICALLY AND LOGISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.
if the user wants certain sounds, the user has to create them ... ie good old DIY !. sbmix..its nice that you want a new generation of young people to make songs with biab. I DO TOO ! but it has to be realised automation will only take one so far. bottom line, as i tell all young people who ask me about doing songs. SONGS ARE HARD HARD WORK !
best to you. om ps...sbmix , in the pg user showcase give a listen sometime to rustyspoons and marios very modern styles. there are lots of neat sound pictures. and cinematic examples.
