Hi, Janne.

Good to hear!

One of the nice things about BiaB is that it makes it (relatively) easy to change the chord progressions in songs, even relatively late in the process.

I usually try to think what other song this sounds like but this time I couldn't find one, that's a sign of originality. Or maybe there's some Duran Duran in the chorus melody wink

I doubt I've got much melodic originality. laugh

Working backwards - chords, then melody, then lyrics - makes things interesting. Since I don't have any idea what sort of song I'm aiming for, I'll just put together a melody that I think sounds nice. Of course, there's plenty of tweaking in the process of hanging lyrics on the notes.

But it makes for some interesting "style" choices I wouldn't make if I worked the other way around. Sometimes the process of songwriting feels more like constructing a jigsaw puzzle than anything else!


Glad to get your feedback! smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
