I've been a BIAB user for years, but never posted a song in this forum. My latest "all real tracks" original song came out pretty good, so I'm posting it. It's called "Man, I'm Gonna Miss Montana" and was inspired by my annual trip to beautiful Montana every summer.

After BIAB (or RealBand) generated the tracks, I transferred the WAV files to my Yamaha AW1600 16 track hard disk recorder and then did a lot of editing and arranging there for the final music "bed". I sang the song and recorded it with a Shiny Box 46MX ribbon mic through a UA Solo/610 tube preamp into the AW1600. After the final mix I did some "mini-mastering" with the iZotope limiter in Sound Forge 9.0 on my PC to boost the sound level.

The song uses BIAB style _WSWNGMF Western Swing Medium with the following RTs:

537 Bass, Acoustic, Pop Sw 165
1296 Fiddle, Background WesternSwing Sw 165
1128 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm WesternSwingWarmA-B
812 Guitar,Electric,Rhythm Western Swing Sw 165
RealDrums=NashvilleSwing8^1-Snare,Ride

plus

1134 Pedal Steel, Rhythm Western Swing Sw 165
1672 Pedal Steel, Soloist WesternSwingPaul Sw 165
and a 2nd fiddle track (can't find the number) for solo purposes

You can listen on my Soundclick page HERE.

FYI, the song below it, "All Around Texas" is also an original that uses all RTs.

Any comments (good or bad) are welcome.

Thanks for listening,
