The band played Waltzing Matilda - cover by orh and alfstone

[alfstone]

Another one, requested by James...

Due to the length of the song (over 9 minutes), I had to keep low the mp3 quality for the upload.

For those who want listen to the song in wav quality:

Alfredo, you've outdone yourself. This is just a fantastic performance and it sounds like it´s been recorded in a pro studio !!!!


Who plays the fiddle? Is that you ?   

[danieldesete]

I've always loved that song too, and this cover is a treat, what a dream team you make the two of you !

Again, thanks to you all! 

Fiddle and mandolin solo parts: I've built them with BIAB, and the drums and bass too.

Dear Geir, BIAB for sure has become in the last years a *serious* way to build backing tracks (I know for sure that several music we listen on the radio has been done using BIAB too...), but consider that I'm their customer since more than 20 years...the times of DOS, floppy disks... I remember I bought one of the first versions of BIAB in Milan, it was the only shop in Italy where it could be purchased, it was 1991, no e-commerce, no Amazon etc. Cheesy and naif MIDI (Sound Blaster) sounds, plastic rhythms at that time, but I had already the feeling it was something promising.

So...I can say I know BIAB rather well, I know where to put my hands, I know what BIAB can do, but also what it cannot do, its plus and its limits...anyway, sure, of course a little musical taste is required...  

Grazie!
Alfredo

Thanks Farrell,

those mandolin and fiddle sound so real just because they ARE REAL and played by REAL musicians. It's not software's music. YOU decide what is better for each one of your projects, and you can modify everything until YOU think it's OK for YOU. This makes BIAB so unique in the huge music software world. To put it simply, there is NO OTHER software that can obtain such results, in terms of musicality

Grazie!
Alfredo
