Hi guys, CYNTHIA'S THEME is my new submission, I think it's in the jazz category. I used: _LALOIRE.STY. La Loire EZ Jazz Ballad RD: JazzSwingLewis^01-a:Brushes, Snare , b:Brushes Swirl, Busy Snare :Lewis Nash RT2311: Bass, Acoustic, JazzBalladRonA-B Sw 085 , Ron Carter RT743: Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Ballad Sw 060 (A:simple) , Miles Black RT937: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm JazzBalladFreddie Sw 060 , Oliver Gannon I also added: RT492 Trombone, Jazz Ballad Sw 085 (fantastic !!!) RT484 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Jazz Ballad Sw 085 Plus, my own guitar melody lines (both acoustic and electric), a violin melody line and a strings arrangement. It's a very melodic track (instrumental), romantic and a little bit nostalgic too. I really liked this melody, so I wanted it to develop quite a bit with different instruments, that's why the track is probably a bit too long, I know. But I think of it as a sort of a theme or a soundtrack for a romantic film or something like that. By the way, that Trombone real track is really phenomenal, and I think it goes very well with the style. Hope you enjoy it.

Wow, I sat back in my chair, closed my eyes and drifted away enjoying the wonderful mix. Nice chords and melody on guitar. I do like the violin track, did you play that? If so what did you use as it sounds wonderful? I can see this song in a romantic moment in a film, with a modern day Fred Astaire and Ginge floating around the screen! beautiful Alyn then I came to my senses very rapidly when my song played AARGH!! totally ruined my mood

I would certainly buy another drink and stay to listen to this. Heck, do an encore. Very tasty.

Thank you guys you are very, very kind, thank you.
Alyn: yes, I played the violin solo part but it's actually midi. I think it sounds very realistic (although, I know the realism could be improved a little bit in a few notes here and there, I'm not 100% satisfied, I just didn't have to time to fix it completely). I used a library called Bohemian Violin by VirHarmonic. It's an incredibly good solo violin library, not only extremely realistic, but also very playable, meaning that you don't need to tweak your midi part too much to make it sound good. Of course some tweaking is almost always needed, but this library is designed to be realistic "as is", and I think it does deliver that 90% of the times. To me, it does require some time to learn "how to play it", it's very sensitive to velocity, but once you learn you get nice realistic violin parts (especially slow, melodic parts) very quickly. It is quite expensive though ... for my wallet at least :-) They also have a nice cello library based on the same sampling techinque, but I haven't bought it yet. I think I will, eventually. Thanks again Jo

Jon, Your piece captures relaxation with a capital R. The solos are really good and keep the interest so I don`t think its too long.
Very enjoyable- a musical massage!

Jon,
This is really beautiful. Your guitar playing is stunning. It was so easy to sit here and simply listen. Music at its best. The style fits perfectly!

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."
