This is one I am too proud of to not post. This track is MOSTLY RD/RT's, but my friend Kephas added some awesome guitar to this tune. It's called Jazzy BluesMixed this one in Sonar... hope, you will give this one a chance and a listen!  Thanks so much, Peter Gannon! You made it possible for me to create some (what I consider) AWESOME music!!! Cheers, Mike

Mike, I really like this one! Super mix.
Tell your soul brother that he has some massive chops going for him!
BTW, what RT did the sax come from?
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

Mike,
The guitar playing is superb, but the choice of instrumentation and chord progression are setting the scene right for your soul brother to shine. The mixing sounds perfect to me. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,

Nice.
Try sliding the sax and the guitar track very slightly forward in time, so that they are a bit behind the beat for a laid back feel. Highlight the entire track and shift forward in time by a few ticks. I like to use odd numbers for this, like maybe try 11 ticks to 25 ticks to start.
Get them off of being dead on the metronome, bro.
Most jazz/blues soloists do indeed play "behind the beat" -- which is a way of describing the technicals I describe above.
And don't shift both by the exact same amount, try a slightly different amount for each. Personally I'd try putting the sax a bit further behind the beat than the Rock Guitarist(s).

I like the tracks very much, also good advice above for that true laid back blues sound.
Very hot guitar licks!

Thanks a ton, Mario. Related your comments to Kephas. Much appreciated.
I'm currently on the road and not near my computer... I'll have to reply back with the RT that the sax came from!
Thanks again!

Thanks, Mac. Appreciate the tips! I will try that as soon as I get home... and you're probably right... in Jazz and Blues, there's not such thing as being 100% on time when soloing!!!

Mike

Ok, Mac - followed your advice ... see it this sounds more like it, if you please...
Jazzy Blues - Laid Back, but still with Kephas!
Hope, this is it ... I definitely hear the difference!

Mike

That's more like it.
Good job.
Isn't it something what a difference a few milliseconds here and there can make?

Thanks so much!!!

It is a pleasure, Mike.
Because you listened and you worked it out. Totally befitting a Dynaco owner.
Have fun,

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."
