PG Music Home Forums General Discussion User Showcase Modern Pop Music Demo

<< If it is so important to how PGMusic is making song demos, why is it such a "secret". Why don't they talk about it? or present a tutorial on how to use it. >>

I can't speak for PG Music to why, but in my opinion, the simple answer to this is few if any users that post in the Users Showcase construct a song in a similar fashion to PG Music programmers constructing demos. It's certainly no secret though, people don't appear to be analyzing demos, the RealTrack Medley Maker and MultiStyle construction.

RT1152 was recognized and automatically inserted by BIAB to replace MIDI Tracks in the third style used. So, I mentioned RT1152:Silence because it's listed in my initial post of what RealTracks and RealStyles were used in the song's creation. I didn't input those 4 tracks, that came from embedded coding by BIAB and for me, worked to perfection and my complete satisfaction.

A finished Floyd Jane song is a great example of that. My guess is if you open the SGU file of "Wasted", it's not going to sound like the backing soundtrack music bed of "Wasted" we're hearing here in the User's Showcase. That SGU has none of the processing you added, comped and mixed in Studio One using the tracks generated from the SGU.

In comparison, select a RealStyle, load the demo and the demo that plays in that SGU will sound nearly identical to the demo of that RealStyle posted on the BIAB Windows or BIAB Mac Products page and in the YouTube releases of new RealStyles demos. The processing is embedded into the SGU. It's complete and finished and contained in the SGU.

"Modern Pop Music Demo" was conceived and constructed from discussions in other forum posts as a demonstration of what users are expressing are shortcomings or omissions of the current versions of BIAB to making current modern music. They are not looking at the program like most songwriters/arrangers/producers use it to write songs, they are looking for easily identifiable styles in their own unique location in the StylePicker that's void of any and all work arounds, comes with 4 chords, completely packaged, ready to play "current (updated by PG Staff on a monthly basis) hit modern songs" they can topline over.

In other words, PG Music Demos... but demos masked as Styles.

Point being, "Modern Pop Music Demo" was created using the elements of a PG Music demo style and also contains the elements of a modern pop music construction as outlined in Austin Hull Make Pop Music YouTube videos. I used BIAB rather than a DAW, MIDI and VSTi's.

RT1152:Silence is an element of PG Music Demos that's used extensively in the construction of the demos. It's a prominent RealTrack in the RealTrack Medley Maker. It's also a dominant element in MultiStyles. In my StylePicker, of 8,000 plus styles, nearly 1,000 are MultiStyles. Users overwhelmingly bypass MultiStyles and prefer to continue their construction, comping, blending, merging, cross fading, alternating soloists and other tasks that BIAB can do, they will do in a DAW.
