RealTracks in style: ZZJAZZ.STY Jazz Swing Style

Rivers of Ailbe is part of a suite of Celtic (I'm from Scotland originally) themed based compositions I've been working on over the past year. I added a Band In A Box bass and drum accompaniment by mixing the final version in Fruity Loops.
Now that I'm getting the hang of BIAB, I'll make other new arrangements of the other songs in the suite.

Hello,

Welcome to Band In A Box and the PG Music Showcase Forum. There is a steep learning curve to BIAB but it sounds as though you are getting the hang of it. Love the mix of traditional celtic sounds (particularly the voices) with the contemporary jazz aspect. I e joy the laid back aura as I listened. Nice work!

Alan

I loved this as a composition. Very moody and ethereal. The drums and bass are perfect.

Love those extra little string flourishes and the sax.

Great job.

Thank you for all the kind comments. Much appreciated.
Ailbe was an ancient Irish saint with connections to rivers. Curiously he was also known as Saint Elvis! Looks like the King lives on.

A really interesting and original interpretation of a celtic melody.
The jazz bass underpins everything nicely and as David said,the whole has an ethereal feel.
Look forward to more.

I found this tune captivation and soothing all at once.
Plenty of light and shade.
Really enjoyable.

Wow - you did an amazing job on this, it's beautiful smile I was really fond of how well the Celtic elements melded together with the smooth jazz. The whole track has this warm, cozy, calm sort of atmosphere to it. Very easy to listen and drift away to.

Great work, and thanks so much for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

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."
