This video from the Forum Users Showcase details one members complete start to finish song creation work flow.

Birth of a Song

Also, a quick demonstration you can do that will reveal some of BIAB's more hidden powers the program has that can increase the efficiency of both accompaniment and arranging is to make 3 easy modifications to the PG Music video posted by Audio Track above.

Duplicate the Chord Chart of the song in that video. 12 bars, tempo, style and Choruses, etc

1. Add RealTrack 1924 Guitar soloist to an empty track

2. Select the second track that contains the Sax and replace it with RT-1320 (Medley)

3. Change the Chorus number from 3 to 2 rather than 1 as done in the video

Generate and play

The selected style, _NOON.STY has four instruments across 4 tracks. With the modifications above, the style now has 8 instruments across five tracks.

The RT-1320 uses a feature called RealTrack Medley Maker which is a 10 channel sub-mixer on each of the first seven original Legacy Tracks of the BIAB Mixer. Up to 10 additional RealTrack instruments can be added to each of these tracks. They can be panned and volume adjusted and configured to play simultaneously or alternately in multiple different ways. There are many PG Music preset Medley's to choose from or a user can create custom medley's from scratch.

Preset Medley's can be searched from the RealTrack Picker and the RealTrack Medley Maker can be accessed from the RealTrack Picker.

The addition of the RT-1924 guitar is a complementary instrument to the RT-1923 guitar included in the style. It's a different artist and instrument created to play in conjunction with the styles guitar. They work together as if the two recording musicians are playing together in the recording. There are many of these pairings in the RealTrack Picker and they aren't always both the same type instruments. For instance, some may be a sax paired with a soloist guitar. They will match up with complementary riffs or even duplicate riffs on occasion. They work both as stand-alone RealTracks in a style or paired in a style.

I hope you and others try this demonstration and let us know your thoughts here in the forum.
