Here is some more experimentation.

What I find interesting here is that (in general) BiaB allows/forces individual RealTracks to separate and shine thru rather that everybody stepping on everybody else in one big mash up. You can hear this at around 1:10 and a couple other places where the electric piano and nylon acoustic guitar give each other space to breathe, I find this fore-thought very cool!

Kudos to the developers that programed this in, it must have taken quite a bit of planning to get this right. I wonder if there is a setting that allows one to adjust the amount of separation.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Steve, you are picking up on that bass very quickly, your part was perfect. You have a good groove going on here.

To nitpick:
1-the piece was to short.
2--you need a lead line, i.e. melody. BiaB can generate a melody.

You have a great start and doing the above will take it over the top. YMMV

Hey Mario,
Many thanks for the words of confidence, and no nitpick at all.

Constructive Feedback + Practice = Growth + Fun smile

Music is such a wonderful thing, on the one hand there is freedom to explore within a song but you can't explore too much. I think my role is to find the pocket and stay there with the drummer.

Lately I've been targeting 40-48 bars, and I agree that's a bit short. Going forward maybe I should target 48-56 bars.

I've never used the melody maker in BiaB. Will that produce an intro for me?

Hi, Bass Thumper.

Good start, but as Mario said, it needs some melody.

My suggestion on the Melodist: once you've got something you like, edit it into something better.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

David, the problem is I can't get something I like out of the Melodist to begin with. Therefore I have nothing to edit. Not sure if I need to dive into the catacombs of the settings tree or what. But I could spend days and days trying the near-infinite permutations of the settings and preferences in hunt and peck mode. I even watched a video on it to no avail.
