About a year ago an Alberta Beef processing plant got it self in trouble with some poor handling processes. It cost and immediate shutdown of the plant and put allot of people out of work while they sorted out the mess and corrected the problems. They have since corrected the problems and things are back to the way they should be. I was thinking of them when putting together this song.

AB Blues

I used:
BB RealBass 387, Bass Electic
BB RealDrums NashvilleEven 8^8
and six of my own tracks. Done with RealBand...

Scott,

I like what you're doing - sounds great - with a "but..."

The mix is good. The track is very "listenable".

You've (sort of) got 4 different "guitar guys" here. IMO, 2 would work better. Love the opening guy. Great tone and very lyrical playing. Then the fuzz guy comes in. Then the Wah guy. Then it's kind of like that first guy comes back, with a bunch of reverb and tries to out-do the fuzz guy and the wah guy. Would be nice if the end were the same guy who played that nice lyrical beginning - kind of "show up" those other guys with "watch what you can do with just a few notes - when you do it right..." Does that makes sense? Hope you are "okay" with this kind of "feedback" - 'cause, like I said... I like what you are doing.

Hi
I really like the blues sound, but maybe it needed a break in the middle and also it gets a bit too busy (complicated?) with all the guitars. They seem to compete rather then enhance each other.

Not criticizing, just sayin'

Thank you I absolutely like this kind of feedback. I have been struggling with my composition. The mix between technical and adding some feeling is been elusive

Hi Scott,

I liked your guitar playing. Very tasteful. It must have taken quite a bit of time to get all this together.

If you were after ideas on how to make this composition sound more authentically like a live performance by a group, floyd's advice is good.

Thanks for sharing your work. It's always good to hear what other do with BIAB/RB.

Kind regards,
Noel

Hi Floyd

I redid the guitar track as per your advice and I like the feel of the new arrangement.

I replace the file on Soundcloud so both links should point to the new file..

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."
