Hi Tom,

I mentored Kristi in Band-In-A-Box and Fl Studio, for her to use as composing environments. BIAB came first and was used for the chordal arrangement. The idea was she could sing or speak the rhythm of the words over the chords, and then take those chords into FL Studio and compose a melody that fit the lyric using chord and scale members for the melody, using that melodic rhythm that she had already learned, while singing/speaking over the chords in BIAB.

Once the song was finished, I went to work on a simple arrangement for Halie to use in her singing, and after I received her vocals, I then pasted them into my sequencer, as well as came up with a bonafide arrangement, giving the composition and vocals, hopefully, its due.

Hope that helps!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, Halie's voice is a beautiful thing, indeed. smile

Mike
