Hey Darren sounds great for a first project, what version of Band in a box did
you use.
I totally agree with Tim, that there is too much reverb in the sax, and it
should be braught more in the frunt line.
Plus May be cut down a little on the chorus effect too.
The compression is a good idea to put in, but again it's a little too much, and
makes the project sound a little squashed.
Again practice, practice, practice is the key, and you've really got a
fantastic tune going.
Keep it up.

Hi Tim.
I totally agree.
I was just messing about with a double tracked effect, but it sounds out of
whack with everything else.
Cheers

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.
Cheers
