Hi all,
Would anyone have examples of endings of country songs with a pedal steel track?
Struggling to get the ending that's in my head for my new tune.
Thanks all!

Just checking if there were any country type artists who have written songs in BIAB including a pedal steel that could let me hear the song endings Thanks to all in advance!

Boots, I don't know the answer as I don't generally use Pedal Steel, but this suggestion may help:
In the Style Picker, press Clear, and then enter the text 'pedal steel' in the filter string.
From there, select any style, and press the Load Song Demo button, and Generate and listen to the song. There should be almost 500 styles to choose from. You can also add other filters for Tempo, Time Signature etc.

Boots:

I was hoping someone with more savvy than I would jump in on this post.
For me, I would like a bit more info.
- What style and tempo are you using?
- What version (year) of BIAB are you using?
- Do you have the complete set of Pedal Steel "soloist" RealTracks?
(not sure I have them all but my list shows 30, some sw, some ev, various tempos)

First, save your file to say, "whateverthefilenameis_01) so that you preserve your original.
Say you want the steel playing on the soloist track.
I would just right click in the instrument area of the mixer (not on the track name),
and choose "Select RealTracks" and "Select RealTracks" again.

That should give you the list of all your RealTracks. Make sure they're sorted by name.
Scroll down the list to the ones starting with "Pedal Steel, Soloist ..."
Pick one from the list that is somewhat close to your style (say sw, or ev) and tempo

Then just "Generate Track" ignoring the fact that you may want the steel player to play just the ending.
Keep regenerating until you get something you like plus
Keep trying different RTs
Also, don't forget you can right click (say) the last bar and choose Song Settings.
There's options there to "Generate 2 bar endings" etc.

There's other methods to generate a series of RTs over specific bars if that's what you're after.
Let us know how you make out and if you need more help.

Good luck!

You can listen to the endings of the “band demos” for the pedal steels on RT artists like this
The pages list all of the RealTracks made with the selected RealTracks artists. And if you listen to the "band" demo, they usually end with an ending.
