Today's Blues-ver 2 is an improvement over the initial song. I replaced that god-awful sax, what was I thinking, with a new flute part that I think sounds a whole lot better.

What do you think?

Mario,

I liked the other version, but think I like this one better. The flute is a nice fit with this arrangement. Very nice.

Your other version I liked too. With that said, your right the flute is much better than that other sax....

You still made me want to go to Bourbon St New Orleans and thinking about that made me hungry..lol

See the emotions your songs bring out....

Go Sens!

Hey my Sabres fanatical friend. I have used that BIAB style before - I do like the organ licks.

Question though - can you get a blues harp channel on that wind controller? I like this mix better
but IMO if you're gonna have that organ and lead guitar you've got to have more grit than a flute - I think you need some blues harp - can you get to that in your arsenal of tricks?

Cheers - Ian

Thanx Bob, Paul and Ian for listening and the kind reviews.

Ian, yes I do have a blues harp soundsource. One potential problem is that a harp can be polyphonic while a wind controller is monophonic. I could overdub or use a keyboard or guitar controller. I just may try that. Thanx for the heads up!

Next is Moe Kaufman's "Swingin' Shepard Blues"????

You should do it "up", like Moe...sure with a swingin' jazz guitar part thrown in,
it would be a commercial hit...if you'd let me sing the final chorus!!

Hi MarioD,

Excellent work! I, too, prefer the the flute. Your guitar playing is sensational! You've got the blues mastered. I'm just about to start on my 3rd listen.

Best regards,
Noel

Hey Mario

Don't know... Ah, I have to be frank and disagree with the majority of the "posters". Like Ian said the flute sound is a bit weak for that "gusto" type of music. I prefer listening to your great guitar playing rather than these other sounds coming from the wind controller. They don't sound real to me. Even if your the one playing them. Your guitar sound is real enough and it comes from the inside. There's a gut feeling in your guitar playing. I could listen to your playing for the whole song with nothing but enjoyment. But this is only my humble opinion.

Thanx Gdaddy, Noel, and Pierre for listening and the comments.

Gdaddy, I will do “Swingin’ Shepard Blues” IF you sing all of the choruses.

Pierre, you are spot on! I’ve been playing the guitar for 50 years now but I’ve been playing the wind controller for about 2. I on a steep learning curve when it comes to the controller and I’m still a rookie’s rookie on it. I’m trying to learn the wind controller because when I play horn lines on my midi guitar controller and/or my keyboard they always come out static and adding midi controller data after the fact looses some if it’s intensity. A good wind controller player can add that intensity while they are playing. Obviously I’m not there yet and I have a long way to go but I’ll keep on trying. Thanx for your honest evaluation.

Nice blues! Good playing and the horns really add to the tune. Where did the horn section come from? Loved it!

Thanx Marty for the kind review!

The horn section is the Brass 1 patch from the preset normal 0 bank of Cakewalk’s TTS-1.

Hi, Mario -

I never heard the sax version to compare, but I'm a sucker for the sound of a flute, so I really enjoyed this. What we need is maybe a "Jethro Tull" preset to give it a little more grit, but you did that with the guitar, so it was a nice contrast.

Good stuff.

Thanx John!

I'm also a sucker for the sound of a flute. I really liked Herbie Mann’s stuff from the 50’s to the 70’s. I’m glad you enjoyed this.

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."
