This is a genre I don't hear much at this site and I enjoyed it. I love that pan flute, very soothing. Well done.

JAOM, if i am not wrong the ACW was revamped either this year or last. I really don't use it much but used to. I found that most of the issues i had were mostly pilot error. Tapping out a tempo was not as easy as i thought.

Re: Help! Real Band keeps crashing! justanoldmuso 3 hours ago Forum: RealBand Jump to new postsJump to new posts
what ive found with acw as ive vision problems is its darn hard to set bar lines in it when its speeding along. ive found it easier by as rharv says halving the tempo and playing the song at half speed to set bar lines. i might be wrong but it seems in 2024 the acw has been changed ? nothing i can nail down. frankly im not sure due to so many variables if any app to do this will ever be perfect. I just tried acw chord interpration to two songs i know inside out. acw wasnt bad but as usual i had to change a few chords. happiness om

Mr. David, You really are one-of-a-kind, "Eloquent Asparagus" really gave me a laugh, I guess his deadbeat cousin might be "Inarticulate Cucumber" smile Thanks for listen and review and keep feeding those big, creative brain cells!

I agree with Mario. Nice meditative music! Did you use the chords to what is otherwise known as the Well-Tempered Klavier without the the arpeggio melody and then slow it down? I was thinking about recording that on Classical guitar here soon. Very nice and soothing.

Hey Mario, many thanks for the listen and favorable review. Thanks for mentioning some details, there's so much behind each song. Part of the intro resulted from pure luck. I had laid down the piano notes (chords are still beyond my level) before I recorded any flute so when I recorded the flute it (simply by chance) landed on top of the 1st piano note and sounded pretty good. The synth on the intro I knew I needed, to ramp into the song, Korg calls it "SweetSweeper". As far as new bass territory, yeah, I've watched a few videos where they talk about chomatically moving between chords; sometime creating musical tension along the way. But here's my "secret": I need to work out the notes on the piano first and then translate to the bass. As the years go by I'm finding more and more usefullness in those little white and black keys, kudos to whoever invented it smile

Laurent This is a cool sounding song! To me it's a melding of R&B, Rock and Country/Rock! Very nice job, the song sounds great! The instrumentation chosen were all good choices! The chorus and its melody stay with you after the song is over! That's the desired effect! Take care, TB

Ray, really appreciate the listen and your discerning comments. I often reach for riskier phrasing and/or cadences, just because that's where the fun is for me. I do recognize that there is risk in that. But in the best case, there is also reward. Maybe next time!

Hey Ray, glad to see you back! I figured you were on a world-wide tour with your band and too busy to be on the forum smile True to form you've packed a lot of brain cells into your review. No connection to Jeffery as far as I know. Yes, many uneducated people ignoring vaccines and paying a price, especially in "would be King country", sad. Yeah, my Korg has all kinds of sci-fi voices,and sci-fi does lead to sci-fact, well put. Many thanks for the positive review man. PS> Stay well.

BACH: Prelude in C (a BIAB take on it, with minimal help from me :) ) musician17 Yesterday at 10:32 PM Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I've been in a none too happy a mood for the past few days; so, tonight, I turned to the one who usually saves me in times of emotional discontent, a certain Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) - whose music will live on long after I'm dust, in my opinion, at least. Anyway, here's an arrangement I've made of his Prelude in C ... a staple for all who, like me, love - and like to dabble in - classical music. For this one, I slowed down Bach's Prelude to half speed, chose the RealStyle, and then just let BIAB do its magic with his music (including letting it add a panpipe descant - the original Prelude is "just" arpeggiated chords, on the piano). Sometimes, just sometimes, it's good to get out of the way, right? especially when dealing with such extraordinary music as Bach's, and such incredibly capable music software as BIAB smile This, I think, really showcases what it (BIAB) can do ... what do you think? smile Thank you so much for listening - all comments are very welcome. BACH: Prelude in C (the BIAB and JD take) ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Meditation 1 - 18 March 2024 File:Meditation 1 - 18 March 2024.SGU Key=C , Tempo 65, Length (m:s)=4:40 No intro. 72 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 72.
