Darren, man that was very cool. I loved the drum patterns. The stuff
available to us is usually pretty weak, that's one of my big problems.
What's band in the box and what are you playing?
I'm putting backing tracks through sonar the work is slow and results
are fair. It sounds like it would take 15 hours to do something like
that but appears to be worth it.
Real nice, keep it going.

*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
