Thanks floydjane for the feedback; I am now up to 15 of 50 songs. This song is from a challenge called the More Cowbell challenge in which the goal was to use a cowbell sound. I will never be able to get the SNL skit "More Cowbell out of my head; every time I hear a cowbell, I think about that skit. I use a $20.00 dynamic mic instead of using my cardiod. So I wrote this song. I did use all Band in a Box instrument tracks; the cowbell is from Reason. Here is link to song #15 *Vocal More CowbellThe other 14 are here Here is link to song #14 *Instrumental Band of AngelsHere is link to song #13 *Vocal Bored HappenedHere is link to song #12 *Vocal Junkyard Dog Named BettyHere is link to song #11 *Vocal VertigoHere is link to song #10 *Instrumental Alluring FlameHere is link to song #9 *Instrumental Blowin' In The WindHere is link to song #8 *Vocal Give Me RestHere is link to song #7 * Instrumental Blues CountryHere is link to song #6 *Instrumental RestHere is link to song #5 *Vocal Run and Don't Look BackHere is link to song #4 *Vocal I Will Give Honor To My KingHere is Link to song #3 *Instrumental Skippin'Here is Link to Song #2 *Vocal Daddie Going HomeHere is Link to Song #1 *Instrumental Guitar CHAOS

Song 16 of 50 is a shorty that I programmed using Cubase. I had never used the midi program feature in Cubase, although I have played a midi instrument through it. So today I decided to program a song in it. The drums are from the stock Halion that comes in Cubase; the guitar chords, and the plunky guitar notes are from a free software synth called ping; I also use the mda piano which is another free instrument plugin. I was just messing around with all of the instrument plugins and just like the sound of these 2. Here is a link Lead FootSong 1-15 are below Here is link to song #15 *Vocal More CowbellHere is link to song #14 *Instrumental Band of AngelsHere is link to song #13 *Vocal Bored HappenedHere is link to song #12 *Vocal Junkyard Dog Named BettyHere is link to song #11 *Vocal VertigoHere is link to song #10 *Instrumental Alluring FlameHere is link to song #9 *Instrumental Blowin' In The WindHere is link to song #8 *Vocal Give Me RestHere is link to song #7 * Instrumental Blues CountryHere is link to song #6 *Instrumental RestHere is link to song #5 *Vocal Run and Don't Look BackHere is link to song #4 *Vocal I Will Give Honor To My KingHere is Link to song #3 *Instrumental Skippin'Here is Link to Song #2 *Vocal Daddie Going HomeHere is Link to Song #1 *Instrumental Guitar CHAOS

Thanks Janice & Bud and boehm for the feedback! Song 19 I used the melodist on Band in a Box; I tweaked a few of the settings; giving it a little lead way to create some unique chordings. I ended up using the B section totally; the A sections I went in and changed the main chords to 5 chords as the song sounded more jazz than rock originally. I was really impressed at how well Band in a Box is able to put together a chord progression that worked so well. The rest was just arranging the realtracks they are: 387 Bass 1856 Cello RDrums=Rock Thrash halftime Ev 16^1 clh,clr 639 guitar 642 guitar Here is link to song #19 *Instrumental Classical & Rock Had A BabyHere are 18 thru 1 Here is link to song #18 *Instrumental Ode To PianoHere is link to song #17 *Vocal My Baby Left Me For The PostmanHere is link to song #16 *Instrumental Lead FootHere is link to song #15 *Vocal More CowbellHere is link to song #14 *Instrumental Band of AngelsHere is link to song #13 *Vocal Bored HappenedHere is link to song #12 *Vocal Junkyard Dog Named BettyHere is link to song #11 *Vocal VertigoHere is link to song #10 *Instrumental Alluring FlameHere is link to song #9 *Instrumental Blowin' In The WindHere is link to song #8 *Vocal Give Me RestHere is link to song #7 * Instrumental Blues CountryHere is link to song #6 *Instrumental RestHere is link to song #5 *Vocal Run and Don't Look BackHere is link to song #4 *Vocal I Will Give Honor To My KingHere is Link to song #3 *Instrumental Skippin'Here is Link to Song #2 *Vocal Daddies Going HomeHere is Link to Song #1 *Instrumental Guitar CHAOS

HI Robert ...
We listened to "More Cowbell". Thought it was funny as heck. I remember that SNL spot, but Di doesn't ... she wasn't an SNL fan.
Pretty danged cool ... fun listen and nicely done. Very creative!

Hi Robert. I see you are almost half way. Am jealous. Enjoyed the lyrical 'Encountering Beautiful'. Definitely a theatrical almost Gilbert and Sullivan quality there. Congratulations on your quality and variety of songs. Cheers.

Hey PgFantastic! I don't know if I have hit any of your tunes over at 50/90 -- it looks like you have been busy. I'll stop by over there and comment on a couple.
I have actually used BIAB on two of my tunes, maybe I should post them here when I get the chance. I used BIAB as a "tag".
EDIT: How embarrassing -- I have commented on two of your songs, oops!

I know what you mean kemmrich; 5090 is so fast paced; it's hard to remember what songs you've commented on; i'm glad they have them highlighted so it is easy to find wants you get to a person site. Here is song 24 of 50 simply titled Maggie; do not ask me where this title came from; or how I ended up with the lyrics to it. I was just doodlin on my guitar and the name Maggie popped in my head; then the old outlaw westerns came to mind. This is the first song I have ever written where I did not know the motivation in writing it LOL. I used some tips from the reverb ? I had let me know if the verb sounds ok on Maggie, please; thanks! All comments are welcome. here is link to song #24 *vocal MaggieBelow is 23-1 Here is link to song #23 *vocal 50 First DatesHere is link to song #22 *Vocal

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."
