Damn I really like that! The guitar fills you(?) played are pretty sweet and really brings something to the song. The lyrics are excellent and make you feel for the poor guy!

And if you don't mind me askin' can you explain this? I'm sorta confused

Is it it a realtrack or MIDI track? I'm still a BiaB newbie so just wanted to know what you did here. Might be something I can learn from and use in the future

Russell, THANK YOU for the listen and the feedback. These are among my favorite lyrics, exactly because of how they provoke a "poor guy" feeling without the narrator actively seeking sympathy. I mean, he doesn't even think about it at all, RIGHT???

As to your question...

Most RealTracks, like piano #2763, have MIDI transcripts. These are used to populate the Staff View in BiaB, but they can also be extracted as a MIDI track to drive a VSTi synth. To do this, I drag the track I want to the MID region of the Dropzone, and then from the Dropzone to my DAW. (This is a general description for how I do it, details may differ by DAW, I think. I'm like a mouse: I only know where MY cheese is.)

All the piano tracks I've used this way have embedded velocity data, which helps them sound more nuanced. Piano RealTracks can sound "blurry" to my ears, depending on how they are stretched for tempo and key, I presume. So I will often use a VSTi instead.
