n-Track studio
Posted by: m-rouse <m-rouse@...>
I've been using BIAB as a practice and composing aid for a couple
years. I also use N-Track for doing mixdowns and adding other parts.
Here is what I normally do.
Step 1. Create basic Drum/Piano track in Band-in-a-Box to cover the
basic rhythm and chordal structure of the song. I then export that
to a midi file.
Step 2. Bring midi file into a sequencer, and finish sequencing any
other parts. Since I get my midi sounds from an Ederol Virtual Sound
Canvas, I am able to render the finished midi parts into .wav files.
Step 3. I inport the .wav files into N-Track, add any guitar and
vocal tracks. Final mixdown is then completed in N-Track.
I adopted this method because there are latency issues with midi that
make it difficult to get the timing to align in a multipurpose
program like N-Track. This is especially true if you are using a
software based sampler or wavetable synth like Virtual Sound Canvas.
Have fun!
