Hello friends, this is my first post in 2014, and is a funk jazz tune "a la Gato Barbieri". Not quite using the 2014 BIB version but 2013. I started it back in December and waiting to get a larger external HD to install all my stuff including the new 'everything pack" on it. But in the meantime..here it is. Hope you like it. https://soundcloud.com/cubanpete/sweet-dreamsMike B.

For some reason this made me think of the Love Boat, another excellent piece of work you've created; thanks for sharing!

Thanks to all for listening and the kind and encouraging words. I'm glad that you all liked it. Finally I got a 2 TB external HD. I will probably install it tomorrow and transfer all my stuff into it and install my new everything pack in it and start using the new sounds. More to come. Regards
Mike B.

Excellent mix, very balanced. It's all very well done, and I think the drums are perfect.
I don't know why, but as the other instruments soloed I was keying on the percussion.

Great mix and inventive arrangement. It has that studio finished sound. A fine smooth and sorta ethereal groove all the way around. We enjoyed the listen.
Dunno if you meant for the very end to be truncated or not.

Mike,
Very nice! Some real hip changes all over the place. Two questions:
(1) Is that a wind controller sax?
(2) Is that you playing that marvelous piano solo?

Hi Mike,
I was just going to ask the very same questions Dean asked, and then I notice he just asked. So I won't be repetitive. But inquiring minds want to know...
BTW, good job!

I think this is your best to date!

Hi all, Dean and Steve, the sax solo is through the Ketron SD2 using a higher bank that has that "blowing" sound which reminds me of the sound produced by "Gato Barbieri" on his sax. And the piano solo is also a midi solo in this case using a cakewalk studio Rhodes VST. Thanks for the nice comments to both of you and you too Mario. I'm glad you all liked it.
Mike B.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
