Hi all,
This is a song I did as demo of a latin rock style for BIAB I built after read Clive post 'Latin Rock style like Carlos Santana' . It is a 6 instruments style and use RealTracks, RealDrums and one MIDI instruments which was the MIDI style base for make my final customized style.
Lot of fun on making this, Latin Cowboy is a latin rock song in the mood of Oye Como Va "Santana' cover. Aside of guitar and sax, there is a fiddle soloing from RealTracks too, bluegrass meet latin... yeeha mamacita!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> . Again the possibilities and versatility of Band in a Box with RT/RD/RB are demonstrated.
I think this latin rock BIAB style also can work with likes of Santana's Black Magic Woman, Flor de Luna, etc, with moderate/fast tempos between 120-140 bpm but not for more slower songs like Samba Pa Ti.

I use L_MAMBO6.STY (Latin-Mambo 6 ala Perez) MIDI style disk #25 as starpoint ( I use only the MIDI Brass section for style) then add the following RT:

Bass, Acoustic, Rumba Ev 110 - #916
Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm ChaCha Ev 110 - #918
Organ, B3, Background Blues Roadhouse Ev 120 - #674
Guitar (optional), Electric, Rhythm NashvillePopClean Ev 120 (A: held) #851
Drums RD: Salsa Cha Cha Latin Jazz - #13
Additional drums: Nashville even 8 #06 (not included in the style) : I added and test it in RealBand, then DROP to Cubase, since original Santana band included percussion and drums, a must for that solid and modern latin rock character. This is a perfect item for my BIAB wish list: an additional Drum instrument slot, ideal for drum and percussion combinations!
Brass (MIDI): L_MAMBO6.STY (Latin-Mambo 6 ala Perez) MIDI style disk #25


Solos:
Sax, Tenor, Motown Rock Ev 120 #403 (not included in the style)
Fiddle, Soloist Bluegrass Ev 130 #434 (not included in the style) --- Note: All fiddle parts/soloing in the song is from RT, except 1:50 to 2:23 which is a VSTi violin played by me with MIDI guitar.
Guitar: myself ( not included in the style....just in my soul) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> (guitar is a Godin xtSA)


Composed and arranged with Band-in-a-Box 2010, Real Band, RealTracks - RealDrums
mixing, guitar recording and additional edition: Steinberg Cubase.
