Here's our latest song. It involved 27 tracks in Cubase (of which most of them were layered vocal tracks). We created the basic arrangement in RMCA real-time MIDI chord arranger Pro, so what you're hearing is actually pure MIDI. But the GM Soundfont Rob has been working on for years did it's magic. We used BIAB to analyze the chords and the Melodist function helped us big-time to create every individual vocal line.
Hope you like it, as always comments are welcome!

To get back to you
A different world, where time has gone Am I older then, am I holding on And where are you Are you real…..
I can almost hear you breathe I can almost feel you near I will always call your name But is it still the same Can you even understand Just how lonely it is Can you see it now Knowing all there is Is it real….
Are you older now Will it always be this way Where’m I now, am I dreaming Where’s my peace, what’s my fate Is hope flowing out of me…
I’ve lost a hundred dreams I’ve cried a thousand tears I’d walk a million miles To get back to you some day
When my faith has gone When my eyes can’t see Call my name Call my name…..
I can almost hear you breathe I can almost feel you near I will always call your name But is it still the same I’ve lost a hundred dreams I’ve cried a thousand tears I’d walk a million miles To get back to you

Rob and Anne-Marie what a wonderful piece of music. Vocals were just superb and the layering what a cool effect it gives the song. Lovely lyrics and as always a super vocal. Well done... Production was a work of art...
RnAM, This is a fine production and the layered vocals are a real treat to the ears. An ambitious arrangement that really works. Great mix and a big sound. Very much enjoyed. Tom
Very intriguing chord progression and the melody, makes you listen to it several times to really get used to what is going on. Progressive pop I would say Fantastic vocals!

Hello, Rob & Anne-Marie
Cool song. excellent vocals. As ROG said, a super track with a very BIG sound and wonderful stereo wash. Fabulous stacked vocals. Very unique and nice chord progression. Crescendo drums are also wonderful. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Rob & Anne-Marie,
Everyone has already said what we were thinking - and more. That's what we get for showing up late (Di is very ill and it has consumed much of my time).
THose vocals are so lush and full and fit so perfectly in the mix. This is just so danged good. Congratulations on a wonderful song and production.

Oh my, such a stunning and beautiful piece. You guys work so hard getting each detail right but the end result seems to the ear to be the result of effortless talent.
It is hard to imagine and a testament to BIAB and your natural abilities to how close in quality your works match up to big, expensive productions of some of the world's most talented music coming from major studios by major artists.
At different times I feel a vibe in this song of The Cars, 10cc and vocally a similarity to Air Supply.

Sound-Guy has been using Band-in-a-Box® for many, many, many, many, many years - and we still managed to surprise him with some great new features! Read his latest review to learn more about his favorite additions for 2020!
"Band-in-a-Box continues to evolve as an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to produce not only new compositions and arrangements, but also perform them with excellent musical “talent”. It also provides educational and training tools for keyboardists and guitarists. It’s easy to use the basic functions, and challenging enough to keep you occupied for years. BIAB provides education, inspiration, a “live” band to aid in practicing, and anything from backing tracks to full performances for recording."
-Sound-Guy, www.gearslutz.com
Band-in-a-Box® user Henry Clarke creates a lot of great songs with Band-in-a-Box®, and he's shared his steps for creating the shots/chops within his recent song Lonely in a Crowd.
Examples of "uncommon instruments" include anything from Spoons to the Wheelharp to the Singing Ringing Tree, and more! (there's probably more instruments out there that we DON'T know than we DO know)
Although our RealTracks collection doesn't include many 'uncommon instruments', we do offer some pretty unique choices!
On top of the usual varieties we offer for Piano, Guitar, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Bass, Tuba, Trumpet, Trombone, and more - our RealTracks library also offers a nice selection of Shakuhachi and Kalimba - there's even a Koto RealTrack included in Set 212!
Kalimba: RealTracks Set 271
Koto: RealTracks Set 212
Shakuhachi: RealTracks Sets 193 & 212
What's the most surprising RealTrack Instrument that you've come across?
