You're sitting underneath a large oak tree over looking a slow moving river and reminiscing all of the good things that have happened in your past. Hopefully you can just sit back and relax.

I used BiaB style Visions1 - Dreamy New Age. However I deleted the drum track, changed the bass to cellos, and changed the guitar to carillon. I keep the strings but added harmonies and modified the lines to better fit the mood.

I am playing my tele guitar, my keyboard (Mellotron Flutes) and my wind controller (pan flute and trumpet).

Let me know what you think.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

My vision was being in an Imax Theatre watching an eagle soar over western landscape. Lovely composition and performance.

Incredibly sweet! I'm listening and looking out my recording room widow (13 feet high) into our forest and a zillion hummingbirds around the feeders....and your song is working well....real well. And, hey, if that's not enough...we just got in 30 minutes ago from a slow paddle on our local river. Too cool! Just called Janice to come in for a listen.

Hi Mario,

You've created a beautiful soundscape here!
Flutes and guitar are lovely. Could be a track for a movie.

Regards,

Mario,

Spectacular! One of your best! You have that wind controller DOWN!

The delay on the guitar is sweet.

Gonna pass this on to my wife. It would be great for one of her meditation classes...

Bravo.

I was doing that yesterday except the river was in full flow, this tune would have been a wonderful backdrop.

Mario, The opening was really beatlesque and progressed from there to a beautifully relaxing listen. Incredible work on the wind controller. The tele sounds just right. Excellent job all around. Very enjoyable. Tom

Mario,

Very, very nice! Like so much of what I have heard from you, this one could easily serve as the musical backdrop to a stunning video/movie. Very well done, my friend.

I'm glad that you like this Bud and I hope Janice likes it also.

We have hummingbird feeders and flowers that hummingbirds like but we have had very few hummingbirds this year. Weird weather up here!

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!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
