Mike, this is an outstanding piece of music. That sax lead was very good.

The backing track on spot on.

I half expected for Carlos (Santana) to start playing.

Two rum and cokes up!


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.

Mike,
Soothing and romantic - love that bolero backing and the solos are so melodic.If I`m correct and the title translates to "sunset", I can`t think of a better word to describe the feel of this.
Beautiful music!

Hi Mike,

Super song! This is my favorite song by you to date. The sax just spills its great sound and the backing tracks are perfect in support. Love the trombone, too. We don't hear enough trombone in big band sounds. Very nice arrangement and mix.

Totally loved it from first note to last. Nice work, Mike!

Thanks to you all, Sergio, Scott, Rob, Robert, Video,and Alan for the time to listen and the kind comments. This is the first time i use this sax VST from Embertone. I think it sound superb and best of all the price...$20, check it out.
Robert you're absolutely right, I should have said Sunset, not Nightfall. My bad.

Thanks again

Mike B.

Mike, that is terrific. We both love the sax and, man, this one is right in the pocket.

And the arrangement and mix provide the perfect support.

Kudos!

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!

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."
