Hello my friends from Biab, . It's been a while since I last posted on this forum. I come back with a composition and a video dedicated to an animal tying up the deer. As Janice and Bud advised me, it's better for me to go for quality over quantity. For the music used, Biab helped me a lot both in the melody and in the inspiring musical phrases of this beautiful software. For the video I used magix X15. If you have the desire or the time, I thank you in advance for your wise advice. THANKS.
Best Regard Derochette alias JaniJackFlash.

Derochette, welcome back! Wow, this is a grand piece! Beautifully arranged and mixed. Would be interested in knowing how much of this was BiaB and how much was produced by other means. The overall quality of this piece certainly far surpasses what I know how to get from Biab. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful! I immediately get an Irish feeling when I hear this. Good arrangement, good mix.
There is one instrument on the right channel (e.g. at 1:11) that sounds like distortion, I thought my speakers had a problem I suspect this is intentional, but I would just remove it or make it less noticeable. IMO it doesn't add to the song.
A beautiful piece of music. I am always impressed with your compositions. And you put just as much into your productions. And an excellent mix. Well done.
Beautiful sounds. I love the instrumentation in this.

Hello, alias JaniJackFlash. Yeah, QUALITY is all over this. I thoroughly enjoy the changes and the way you've built this into a wonderful musical piece. The time is radio-ready, but I stay in my seat waiting or the next movement. Played it twice and was even more amazed the second time. Gee, dare I try for a 3rd? I imagine my self as the conductor and, man, my hands fly and point and lift and settle --sometimes all at once. What a wonderful soundscape befitting many story genres. Well done, Derochette.
Enjoy whatever happens! marty

Just like you I use Biab for creating the basic musical piece and presonus for mixing and adding instruments. To compose, I always start from Biab classic for my sequence of chords based on a style and I look for interesting realtracks or supertracks for the melodies. I then switch to Studio one where I use Biab Vst. I take my basic composition and I enrich my composition with different VST instruments or other RTs. I don't hesitate to replace certain realtrack melodies with orchestral vsts using the generated midi files. If I keep biab's Realtrack, I use melodyn to readjust certain dissonant notes. Finally, I add other tracks to give volume to the whole. I hope that answers your question.
Thanks for you nice comment. Kindly regard Derochette alias JaniJackFlash or Jani .
I thank you for your appreciation. I paid attention to your comments but found nothing unusual. Maybe on the backing vocals, I should put an EQ on the high frequencies. Thank you again for your advice.
Your comment makes me extremely happy because in the absence of words in the soundscapes which are sometimes longer in the duration of the piece, the images are an asset to break the monotony of listening. I thank you very much.
Awesome instrumental. I love that flute (tin whistle?). The instrument spread and placement and arrangement in is fantastic. I enjoyed this composition!
I'm happy to read you. I come to this Forum in my free time. I'm uploading fewer soundtracks because I'm now trying to combine them with videos and that takes more time. Thank you for your nice comment.
