Subcomplemental

First more or less complete piece made with 2018.

****** Song Summary *************

No intro. 56 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 56. Repeat x1 chorus
No Melody
No Soloist track.

Style is SUNSETS.STY (Indian Raga w/ Night Insects Loo)
Style MIDI Instruments are : Reed Organ (21), Pad-Warm (Slow) (90), Sitar (105),

Loop in Song: Nature Sounds\Night_Insects_2.wma

RealTracks in song: 1760:Fiddle, Background Pop16ths Ev 085

MIDI Drums :1 Standard Drum Kit (1)

Second style is 2416VISH 24/16 ev16 65

I used no effects to speak of.

Comments and suggestions welcomed. Enjoy.

I'm unhappy with the cold ending, but that is probably a function of the midi, and I used to have a work-around but don't know where to look for it any more.

Hi Tangmo,

The link you provided is broken, returns a message: "Hmm, we didn't find that track!"

Sorry about that. I put up a new version, and it broke the link, apparently. Fixed now.

Thanks, again. Ultimately, I think this needs to have the stock Windows GM sounds replaced, but I'm waiting until it's structurally sound...and until I get the synth plugged in :-).

Wow - what a unique piece! Especially for the showcase here. It has a very eerie and abstract quality to it, which I liked it. Another fine example of Band-in-a-Box's diversity smile

Good work here and thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

Tangmo...interesting and innovative. I think it's a good start, but can use some further development--altho I don't really have a suggestion there.

I like to do this kind of thing, too...mix some diverse elements, like trying to invent a new mixed drink..then work with what's been created.

Your use of the nature element certainly fits with the other sonic choices you've made...
If it were me, I'd have to decide if I was constructing a 'mood' piece, without a real melody, etc. If so, this is well-developed.

Thanks for sharing, and I'm going to look forward to hearing more!

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks

MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:

There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:

1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track
