My latest tune composed within the last week. Kapapa Island waltz. Just stuck an imaginary pin in Google maps and came up with the name grin
I DO hope I've managed to capture the Hawaiian flavour with the backong here.
In my opinion the pedal steel from BIAB gives the tune a fantastic lift.

RealTracks in song: ~1121:Bass, Acoustic, CountryWaltz Sw 085

You definitely managed to call on that Hawaiian feel! It feels like listening to an old record in the beginning, then around 0:58 it sounds like you step outdoors. <3 I love it.

I originally clicked on the song because I thought you were talking about Kappas! I was rather curious, I have to admit. This was not what I was expecting, but I think this is a lot more lovely than coming face-to-face with a kappa! =P

I really am getting attached to the sound of that lap steel. I have started to look for one. Tom Adams places a pedal steel in the forum on some his tunes as well. I have used some of the pedal steel real tracks on some of my tunes as well. I think the slide guitar adds so much to the tune. Well done

Beautiful, Graham! Very easy to listen to, relaxing. You may need to trade your kilt for a grass skirt. I'm imagining the visual. lol

Thanks a million Ember, as I said, I think the Hawaiian steel from biab real tracks really sets off the whole tune

Graham,

It is a wise idea to decide the location name in the title by using the Google map wink

Beautiful and atmospheric! Fantastic lapsteel guitar play! I have never been to Hawaii and you gave me a chance to visit there ... in my imagination.

Don If I was ever in a grass skirt, I'd be thrown in a funny farm for sure.

Very nice!
Gives me a hankering to visit Hawaii again - and a reminder to dig out my Keola Beamer slack key guitar albums.
You are really getting the hang of that lapsteel and its great to hear it with BiaB. Well done.

I reckon my chances of hitting the lotto are roughly the same if I buy a ticket or not.

We've been fans of the lap steel for years. I think I first paid attention to it on Jackson Browne's early recordings.

And it hard to go wrong with a waltz.

We enjoyed the composition and the performance!

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."
