A barebones R&B-Soul instrumental. It's a musical bed written for a local group of wives who meet for a dance workout session one day a week. They asked me if I could write some original music for them - they were getting tired of the same 12 or 15 songs. This is my first offering. The music is a simple bed, thus the name (nothing to do with trying to repeal or replace anything!) The horns are a little quiet in the first verse but are more prominent thereafter - kind of a mild build, I guess you could say. I used the Belair style and changed out a few instruments and added a couple others. Di's health has kept me away for a couple of weeks. She's doing a little better, so I'm trying to catch up. Will be over to listen as many of the songs posted recently as I can. Skinny FunkKey=Eb , Tempo 110, Length (m:s)=3:25 Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Song is saved with bar changes for Volume Changes, Style is _BELAIR.STY (Bel-Air Funky Pop w Agogo Bells) RealTracks in style: 1434:Bass, Electric, JazzFunkPoppy Ev16 110 RealTracks in song: 2347:Horn Section, Rhythm, Funk 2-part, Ev 110 (Simple) RealTracks in style: 1771:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkMovinMuted Ev16 130 RealTracks in style: 2525:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm FunkWahWahChords Ev16 100 Loop in Song: Drums\BluesRockFunky16ths^1-HHSnr,HHSB Loop in Song: Pop-Soul-RnB\R n B - ra_jule_90_a drums ev16.wav RealDrums in style: AgogoBellsEv[single]^01-a,b:8ths A

"nothing to do with trying to repeal or replace anything!" HaHaHa!
The wives should like that and get a good workout also.
Like Deryk said "infectious groove" and that is most ideal for workout music.
Well done and great to hear the good news about Di
Fun song!

J&B Hey ... thanks so much! I'll be giving them a CD with about 10 tunes on it in the next couple of weeks. They said they liked what they heard with this one. I have three written so far. Most of them have a late 60s and 70s vibe. Kind of a scaled down James Brown backing tracks. Thanks so much! Alan

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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...
2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!
Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
