January 31, 2024 User Showcase Song - That's Why You're Back

With January coming to a close without having posted a new song, I figured it was now or never get something done. I was also sick at home with a cold, so I had some time to work on a song. I was inspired to floyd jane's song "Closet Space", as well as the demo for the BiaB demo song "Macon" I ran across while looking for a style.

January 25, 2024 User Showcase Song - Reach For The Stars

I wrote this song several years ago, and was never able to do a decent Demo due to lack of technology, vocal skill, and time. I finally got all those problems solves using BIAB, Cubase, SynthV, and the tools available today.

This song is a Positive uplifting message to Children. It sounds to me like a Disney Song or a Broadway Production number. Maybe I can sell it to NASA? What do you think?? LOL :>}

January 17, 2024 User Showcase Song - An Elf's Funeral

Comments were made about my Bridge to Nowhere that Dwarfs would fight with the Elfs because they could not enter the Mystical Elfland. Well that fight did happen and all but one Elf made it to safety. This is the song they played at that Elf's funeral.

An Elf's Funeral

Sometimes things just fall into place. The weather is so bad here that BobH couldn't make it over today; we get together every Sunday to play guitar. So after shoveling out my driveway I had an idea for this song. I found a BiaB style I liked, chose the instruments, then played my parts, and did the mix. All of this happened in about four hours.

BiaB style = Neon Sign MIDI Smooth Jazz Waltz
Tempo = 50 BPN\M

I deleted the bass and drum tracks.
Piano - EZLeys2 - Dream Machine - preset Celesta Mellow
Guitar - Keyzone Classic - preset Basic EP
Strings - Kontakt - The String Collection - preset Percisa Strings
Me-Bass - Kontakt - Amadeus - preset Basses
Me via my new breath controller and keyboard controller the Swam Viola and EastWest's Play - Alto choir.

Before anyone asks I use the combination of those controllers because it gives me more simultaneous control over the selected patch. My right hand can play the note(s) while my left can control the nuances like tremolo, vibrato, slurs,etc. If I desire I can also program my MIDI foot pedal controller for more options. I can also play polyphonically while the wind controller is only one note at a time. The wind controller does have it benefits so I will be using that also. I had to experiment so this is my first time with the breath controller.

January 12, 2024 User Showcase Song - ALL PRETTY GIRLS

This may be the most thoughtless song I have ever written.

ALL PRETTY GIRLS

I literally gave it no thought. None whatsoever. It was all about a Stratocaster and an amp, and I just sat down and did it, and laughed my way through it the entire time. 100% thoughtless and 100% fun.

January 11, 2024 User Showcase Song - Goodbye

This is a remake of one of the first songs Christiane Spruit and I wrote together, back in 2016. A couple of the old-timers here might remember it

Goodbye

The vocal is new, and I also redid my guitar solo. The remake also has Marty Straub (BabuMusic) on bass.

We did the remake around 9 months ago. I wasn't going to post it seeing as it's been posted before, but my mother just recently passed, and I see that B.D. Thomas recently lost his mother also, so it seemed like an appropriate time.

This is a song about losing someone you love, so we dedicate it to anyone who has lost a loved one.

The Band:

Realdrums: NashvilleSwing8^1 initially, then switching to BluesRock128^4 during the guitar solo and the rest of the song
2457:Strings,Rhythm,CelticAir.

January 05, 2024 User Showcase Song - Whispering Asia

This is the second of two songs I put together with the new Chinese instruments from BIAB 2024.

Whispering Asia

This one has fuller and richer backing tracks and is noticeably more subdued. Noel Adams and I exchanged some thoughts about this particular song as I brought it to fruition. To make a long story short, I went on YouTube and watched/listened to clips from a couple of Chinese romance movies for some insight and guidance on how to make a few changes to better catch the Asian mood.

After a few adjustments to my original track, this is where I ended up. It's a soundscape for a romantic setting. Let me know what you think.

I started this song with a synthmaster sound containing an arpeggiator and midi chord generation. I added another one and a percussion loop. In the original style there was an acoustic bass which I replaced with a realtrak funk bass and I removed the organ to put in an electric piano.
