'Zero Sum World'.The idea for this song came from a remark I heard a character make in the excellent US TV series 'Treme'. More information available, plus lyrics, here.I used BIAB RealTracks: - RealTracks style _SJAZBL2 Smooth Jazz Ballad - Slide guitar solo 382 Background Blues Ev. I added strings, synth, some more rhythm guitar, and vocals. John

very nice song John! I really like your style. It reminds me of Don Henley in a roundabout way.

John, What a gorgeous production! Love your voice too. Good song. I like the way you've used the title and your unique perspective in the lyrics ring with emotional truth without sounding too contrived. Ironic you got this idea off a tv show because I think it would be a great track to pitch for film/tv. Well done! Josie

Cool! I agree with Josie - when I saw the title, I had doubts that you could pull the lyric off without it sounding artificial, but it worked for me!

Really nice production and mixing. Everything seems clear and in its own little space. Good stuff, for sure. It does seem a bit "hot" to me, but that's easily changed. Good use of the slide guitar(s) and overall fine performance.

Thanks everyone, for your kind comments. I'm particularly pleased with this one and glad you enjoyed it.
Ade, Kevin, thanks, you're right. I use TRacks and FabFilter ProL to get a loud and punchy mix, but I think I should just throttle this one back a tad.
John

John - Killer track. Great production and song. Loved the Wes Montgomery octaves towards the end. I'm selling my guitars. Regards, Bob

It’s all been said, super mix, vocal and chops.
All I can add is “Air play ready” for sure.
Great piece of music!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
