[ddots-l] Re: My first track using Band In A Box

 
Hi Phil.
 
Yeah, I think I'll go back to what I had originally which was a simple
perfect space impulse.
 
Less is more and all that.
 
Cheers

Agree with Tim's comments. Also, I would personally remove the chorus on the
sax but hay, that's just me.

Not bad at all.  One note on the general production - I'd back off the
reverb on the sax to bring it forward a bit - at the moment it sounds like
it's in a different space to the rest of the band.

 

Best wishes.

Subject: [ddots-l] My first track using Band In A Box

 

Hi folks.

 

OK, this is my first proper attempt for recording a full track with Band in
a Box.

 

I used the melody creator to do the whole track.

 

I replaced the bass, drums and guitar midi tracks with real tracks and drums
and added a Sax Solo.

 

I exported the midi tracks into Sonar and replaced the melody with a sparkly
piano sound and the electric piano with an acoustic.

 

I imported the real track/drums into sonar and applied compression and other
processing bits and bobs.

 

I copied the Acoustic guitar so there were two guitar tracks, hard panned
them left and right with a slight time delay on the left one to avoid
fazing.

 

I actually imported two real bass tracks.  As you'll hear, there's a slap
bass section during the Sax solo.

 

Before saving the real tracks/drums as wave files, I removed any reverb, put
their volumes up to full and centered them all so that I could control their
level and panning from within Sonar.

 

It's still a little bit messy mix wise, but I think it could work up into
something worth listening to.

My aim is actually to use BIAB to produce Library and Royalty Free tracks,
and I think it helps to do that job.

 

It's not my usual style, but it's sure fun to work with.


Interested in your comments.
