This is a sound test on a new Band in  Box Xtra Style from the Singer Songwriter Pack. Allows you to get that elusive "Acoustic Alchemy" Sound. This never even made it to the DAW.  The entire thing was recorded and mixed in Band in a  Box itself. Any acoustic artist could go to town with this one as a bed, adding in other instrumentation and going to a DAW. This isn't even really mixed yet.

Acoustic Alchemy

Long Distance Runner
By David Snyder

Prologue (The Delirium):

Blue Haze, Summer
Long Distance Runner
Blue Phase, Summer
Long Distance Runner

Verse 1

Think fast, moon blast
Seagrass, long past,
Love  right, hang tight
Seems right
Light dust, moon rust
Clock out of water, clock of order
Mariner’s daughter

Ch:

Twist and shout
Cool haze of summer
Blue haze of summer
See past the border 
Ring flash, sea splash
Twist and shout
Roundabout
Cool haze, cool haze, 
Cool haze of summer
See past the border
Long Distance Runner
Knights of the Order
Long Distance Runner

V2

There  is no dark side of the sun
It’s dark for everyone
Into the water
Long Distance Runner
Learn past, run fast, seagrass
Ten past the corner
Long  Distance Runner

CH

Learn past, run fast, seagrass
Ten past the corner
Long Distance Runner
Long Distance Runner


Epilogue (The Redemption)

Think tall, see small
Run for the border
Run for the border
Long Distance Runner

Long Distance Runner

Here is a BIAB generated song in the Dramatic Orchestra Style using Garritan Samples from Garritan Person Orchestra 5 (GPO5.)

Very little mixing or tweaking was done. This is raw.

Dramatic Orchestra Demo

Is this what a movie soundtrack is supposed to sound like??

No Oh God Please Help Me
