Hi, guys ! I wrote this little samba
to honor my good friend and our superb
musician Aleck Rand ! It is a while ago
I did this so I have lost all sgu files
and can´t reconstruct either style or instros
but I hope you can enjoy it nonetheless ?

We were anxiously waiting for your (Beach Boy like) vocal wink
but we will settle with this very nice instrumental!

Excellent instrumental my friend!

I see that you had to show off your new Strat wink Note that I would do the same wink


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.

Dani,

There`s a very enjoyable upbeat feel to your tribute -it had me bopping around the office.
The percussion is sweet... and yes, I was also expecting you to sing, but its fine as is!

Hey Dani, lovely composition. I love the interplay between the guitars in the left and right speakers, makes for a really lively, propulsive little tune. The switch to the ride cymbal in the chorus is super effective too. Very nice, would love to hear you take a vocal line over this!

Is there any greater flattery than having a song named after you? Dani has done it again and it's a good thing you can't see blushing across the the Internet.

I'm with Alyn on this one. Your voice or, even better, the best Beach Boys clone I've ever heard is the only thing I missed on this one. Nevertheless, what a pleasurable tune, what a cool pic, and what an honor. Dani, this is a great avatar - you and your Strat - your best, in my opinion.

Dean

I am awfully sorry for this belated answer
to your most kind comments ! Due to other
commitments I just haven´t been able to
answer you earlier and for that I am truly
sorry !

I thank you all for your most kind words.
This tune was very fun to write and being
such a jazzy one it came natural to me to
dedicate it to my blood brother Aleck !

Take care

Cheers

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."
