FEARLESS

(lyrics on Soundcloud)


I wrote this on piano.
When I loaded the chords into BIAB, I could not find RTs to match my piano track.
I've produce 250+ songs using BIAB...that has NEVER happened.
I found drum patterns in Addictive Drums that fit what I had in mind.
Then I found Just the right bass pattern in NI Session Bassist - Prime Bass.
Then 2 NI Picked Acoustic tracks
Then THE perfect chunk guitar - NI Session Guitarist - Electric Vintage.
Adding the RealDrum AmericanaRoots16th helped drive things along later in the song.

Then I went back to BIAB hoping to find a lead guitar (fills and solos).

PERFECT.

The first place I dropped it - at the lead spot - worked better than any BIAB solo I've ever found (and I can ALWAYS find good solos in BIAB).
I wanted a heavy lead/fill under the chorus and found That almost immediately with the next section of the lead track
(I always generate an entire track of the solo guitar so I have a lot to choose from)
I kept shoving what was left of the solo track out to the right (to get it out of the way).
I ended up with a three and a half minute song with a solo track sticking out the back end for another 2 minutes.
When I played that through, the solo blew me away.
Decided I had to "save" it somehow.
So I built a full production around that sticking-out-the-back solo RT.

Brent is on fire. (thank you wherever you are)

BIAB is THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF SOFTWARE on my computer.
It has allowed me to truly learn production (over the last 12 years) - because of the thousands of tracks to choose from.
I feel this is the best production I've ever done.
It does not contain the typical number of RealTracks that I normally use.
But...BIAB is the reason I know how to do this.
(And it provided an absolutely Killer solo track).

Thank you, PGMusic.

And, hey! My first 5 minute song!

Hope you enjoy every second.

I recommend headphones.
I recommend loud.
I recommend dancing.
And some air guitar. (You know you want to)
