Hi James,

Thank you so very much. Your comments are always uplifting. I was pretty much going for that back porch, spontaneous jam session sound. It's great to hear it came across that way to you.

I don't have a good explanation about how i go about framing the projects. It's rather ad hoc. I don't have a formula per se. Many times, when I'm previewing a style for a song, I'll hear one that won't work for the immediate need, it but plants a seed for a future project. I'll make note of that style and revisit it later - could be days ar weeks later. I'll usually change out some of the indigenous RTs with others to mold the sound closer to the exact sound I have in mind. Then I add a few additional tracks on occasion. It's really no more complicated than that.

I like almost all genres of music, so there are many opportunities for me. Of course, there are quite a few songs I've composed that are 100% from my own brain that I just experiment with by auditioning a variety of RTs and Drum tracks. Sometime I get very good results, other times not so much. But BIAB is a great piece of software.

Happy New Year,

Alan
