Hi there!I have tried my hand at Ambient/New Age kind of music before some years ago but not with BIAB, so here is a new New Age tune with BIAB. Critiques always welcome. Enjoy.
No time like now

Style is CLOUDS.STY (Clouds - Slow Ev.8 Pop)
Style MIDI Instruments are : Fretless Elec. Bass (36), Acoustic Piano (1), Pad-New Age (89), Crystal (99), All sounds are from my Ketron SD2. Drums are with midi with Power Drums

Hi Mike,

I like al most all genres of music. I've done a lot of ambient have posted very little of it here. That change just before 0:50 was subtle yet added another dimension. And the flute was real nice! Loved it! I always enjoy your instrumentals - this one is terrific!

Nice work on this! It has a very "spacey" sort of vibe, and I loved the change up around the 50 second mark. This tune is super interesting, and had me paying close attention the whole time with all the unique sounds that are present. From the flute, to the interesting drum patterns.

Thanks so much for sharing smile

Thanks, Joe, Alan, J&B,Deryk, Furry, and Scott for your nice comments. I didn't expect such positive reaction. Like I said, I have done this before but not with BIB. I will experiment some more.

Hello, Mike

Very nice melody!
IIm7 - V7 - Imaj7 - VIm7 - VIIm7 - III7 - VIm is one of my favorite chord progressions.
This tune reminds me of Francis Lai strongly.
The tone of the synthesizer playing the main melody is very fitted to this tune.
Very enjoyable listen.

Best regards.

Mike,

Soothing and unlike so much ambient music, continuously interesting! The percussion is very well done - surprising in a good way. Lovely melody as well.
Most enjoyable.

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."

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
