#252939 - 06/07/14 12:08 AM [User Showcase] Ode to A Cat - in 3/4
Registered: 04/09/07 Posts: 276 PatrickH Apprentice Registered: 04/09/07 Posts: 276	Hello All, Here is the latest tune I did with Band in a box. https://soundcloud.com/musingthemusic/ode-to-a-cat The band in the box summary is below. I exported all the tracks individually and then imported in Sonar X2. I added tracks for vocal and electric guitar. All the rest was Band in a Box. Guitar was recorded wet ( effects from pedalboard ) with Reverb and compression added on the channel for mixdown. vocals came in dry and I added Reverb and compression plugins using Sonar. Thanks for any comments. It was a fun project for me and Band-in-a- Box really raised the level of what I was able to accomplish with the tune in a short time frame. -Patrick **** Song Summary ********* Title: Ode to A Cat A File:ode to a cat_a.SGU Key=A , Tempo 180, Length (m:s)=3:37 16 bar intro, 199 bar chorus, from bar 17 to bar 215.

As i go about my chores today! Nothing like a good waltz and the sea. Patrick _________________________ Patrick http://youtube.com/musingthemusic https://soundcloud.com/musingthemusic

It's nice to hear some waltz RT's put into use -- don't hear that often. Kudos! _________________________ Check out our BiaB SoundCloud songs!

I also use Sonar to mix the imported RT's. Have been using BiaB for about six months...what a difference it has made for me too, and the folks here have helped tremendously. _________________________ My songs are here: https://www.reverbnation.com/scottholson and here: https://soundcloud.com/scott-h-olson

I youtubed a video for my friends who had a little difficulty with soundcloud. As you can see I got the Black and White in one package! Please say hi from me ( and Pancho) to Naomi and Lady. -Patrick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zJ7q4_H5pA Edited by nobilis (06/08/14 10:43 PM) Edit Reason: spelling

I am taking a songwriting course with Pat Pattison of Berklee at Coursera.org. This was built off of our second assignment. It's a fun class and the price couldn't be beat (free! ). Thanks again for the kind words and encouragement. _________________________ Patrick http://youtube.com/musingthemusic https://soundcloud.com/musingthemusic

Great isn't it? I love your cat song. I also love cats but cant have any because my husband is allergic (or so he says!) I miss my black and white cat who was called Emily despite being male!
