This kind of guitar playing is very common. Is there any in BIAB? I didn't find it. If yes, please tell me the RT number.
If not, I hope to make it.
It is to play the root note and then the chord. The guitar playing between 0 —— 1:15 seconds in the video.
I don't know if this is an arpeggio or a strum?

FWIW: Babymusic, with all of your requests for acoustic guitar rhythm it might be better and faster to do those rhythm tracks in MIDI. There are some decent free acoustic guitar patches and some excellent purchased ones. Since all of your videos have tabs it would be easy enough to input the rhythms. MIDI guitar tracks and good guitar patches will rival guitar RTs.

This initial rhythm guitar is completed using MIDI.
The climax sweep at the end of the song is completed using BIAB.
Am I right?

If you are referring to the last video you posted the answer is no, it is all acoustic guitar, i.e. no MIDI or BiaB.

Hello.MarioD

If you have time, take a look. Is that what you mean? Let me write my own guitar rhythm using MIDI. I tried it. It feels pretty good. I don't know if this is what you mean.
However, my biggest feeling is that the sound is not as good as the sound of BIAB. BIAB is played in real life, and the sound will be better.

Yes, that was exactly what I meant. You have matched the rhythm but not the tone of the guitar. Can you change guitars on that patch. If not you might try using EQ to cut some of those higher frequencies. A little compression or reverb and/or delay would help. If not select another guitar sound. There are some free good ones.
I hope this helps and good luck.

Mario.

you know what would be groovy ?

a user gets bb/rb to analyse the rhythm of an audio song and then the app uses the stem splitter to split out the rhythm by itself and at users option also creates the midi rhythm with a users chosen ac gtr or electric or piano plugin patch....and plus
identifies the audio rts that might be closest.

when i get more time im gonna experiment with the splitter
to say try and extract a rhythm instrument and then pass that into pg audio to midi convertor. obviously there will be a cleanup job needed say in piano roll in bb/rt.

might be fun...or not...
just daydreamng...lol.

om


my songs....mixed for good earbuds...(fyi..my vocs on all songs..)

om, with AI advancing at its current rate your daydream may be closer than you think!

To add to your daydream make the AI also include the instruments nuances like slides, bends, hammer ons and offs, vibrato, etc. If we want to dream lets go for the whole enchilada wink
