| I too use all of the above mentioned rhythms but would love to find some others to use as well. Anyone ever played with the Hawaii slow-pop Hawaiian style? |

| I never could stand all the instrumentation in most of the styles. I finally learned to eliminate the keyboards and drums, etc. from an individual style and just leave the guitar and bass. I pretty much use the Django Jazz Swing or Freddie Green Rhythme Guitar styles (just guitar & bass) for everything. |

Andy,
I find the Hawaii slow-pop Hawaiian style very limited for most Hawaiian songs, unfortunately.
I agree with Billy. The best style that I find for Hawaiian style backup is UKEBASS in the POP/ROCK section on "b".
I have used Jazz Swing Style (ZZJAZZ.STY) and Jazz Waltz Style (ZZJAZWAL.STY)for Hawaiian style. It does a fairly nice job. You can eliminate drums for the most part and have some variation on back up instruments. Xylophone is nice on some tunes in place of piano. You can include ukelele but I do not find it a good ukelele sound.
I hope that more steelers will try variations and give us more reports back on BIAB.
Your comments can be very helpful and stimulating.
Aloha,
Don |

Isn't there more discussion to be had on this subject.
A good many SGF members use BIAB, so what's up?
Aloha,

More of the discussion takes place on the Music or Electronics forum than on this forum.

| My first impression of BIAB, (and my thinking still leans this way)was that the drums, piano, and bass lines were authentic sounding. In my opinion, the guitar does not sound much like a guitar. But perhaps I am basing this on inferior software synths? I use the Roland 3 that came with BIAB and it might not be much better than the Microsoft crap that comes with Windows? |
