Power

Sometimes you know exactly what you want to play and as you are auditioning styles in BiaB you find one that takes you into a different direction. I wanted a heavy four on the floor beat with a lot of synths but I changed my mind after hearing this style. After I got the BiaB tracks into my DAW I said why not add synths. So I converted some of those BiaB audio tracks into MIDI and used them for some synths.

BiaB style - Alternate Pop Rock
Tempo - 130 BPM

I used the RD and all of the RTs in this song. I also used the MIDI version of the Piano, guitar, and utility tracks.
Piano - Syntronic 2 - Ageless - Shizuoka Pad
Guitar - Synthmaster 3 - Synth Pad - ARP Ambient Pad
Utility - Synthmaster 3 - Synth Misc - Air Black - Magic KS

Me via my keyboard controller:
1st lead - Syntronic 2 - Violinic Synth Lead
2nd lead - Kontakt - VeeVum Human - Stack Natural - EEHS
3- Synthmaster 3 - Synth Lead - Big Dist

As always all comments are welcome.


Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Oh wow MarioD - very interesting sounds! I like what you did.

Also, love the synth that sounds human, that is really cool.
Very middle-eastern sounding. Love it!

Very cool, Mario. Love the thrumming hive beneath all the melodic colors. Super composition and playing. Nice selection of synth patches, too.

BiaB styles have bent my original intent SO many times I can't count. And it always turned out BETTER. So very relatable.
