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.
Cheers
