A Morning ChillBack, at least for a while. I've written very little original music since December. We've uploaded some instrumental stuff to Songtradr that I did when I was going through chemo, but that's about it. I wrote about 60 instrumentals during that time. I haven't posted many of them here as I feel you might get bored with nothing but instrumentals. Anyway, here's one I put together yesterday. It's a guitar instrumental, kind of bluesy with a touch of sadness. There are several effects on the guitar. PS: I did scratch one thing off my bucket list: I acquired a fabulous jazz guitar. It's a Stromberg Monterey. Been wanting one for years. If you're interested: Di said to tell everyone hello - she's still recovering. Almost lost her in February and March to sepsis. She's hanging in there but very weak. I'll be over to listen as I can. Best wishes to all. File:A Morning Chill.SGU Key=Bb , Tempo 80, Length (m:s)=3:24 4 bar intro, 20 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 24. Repeat x3 choruses No Melody No Soloist track. Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Song is saved with bar changes for Volume Changes, Style is _SOARING.STY (Soaring Ballad w/Guitar Solo) RealTracks in style: ~2474:Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085 RealTracks in style: ~2505:Piano, Electric, HeldChords 085 RealTracks in style: 2914:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Folky16thsBrent Ev16 085 RealTracks in style: 2690:Guitar, Electric, Soloist Slow16thsPopBrentSimple Ev16 075 RealDrums in Song: PopCountry16ths^01-a:Closed Hat, Sync-kick, b:Closed Hat, Rock-kick ** Just want to be clear that the lead guitar track is a Brent Mason RT, not me. **

Hi Alan, This is beautiful! You've managed to create a very haunting and memorable work of sound-art. I can see this being a perfect audio backdrop for a slideshow of family photos and memories. I hear the ambience more as wistful or nostalgic. As I sat here listening, the feelings that I experienced reminded me of that first time I heard "Stranger On The Shore" with Acker Bilk. His playing and the melody captured my imagination and I sat there transfixed, just letting images and random thoughts drift through my mind. "A Morning Chill" had the same effect on me. Thank you for the update on Di. Both of you have been very much in my thoughts and I've been regularly hoping that things are travelling as well as they possibly can for the two of you and your family. Please let Di know that I think she is amazing. All the best of everything to you both, Noel P.S. Congratulations on getting your guitar!

Bob Hi Bob. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Good to have something on the boards again. And yeah, it's a great guitar - but I've had so little time to play it. Best to you, Alan

But I'm learning to liver with it. I'm rather speechless after having read your comment. I hope a heartfelt "Thank you" will be adequate in return. "Stranger On The Shore" was one the first songs I learned to play lead on. I sat in front of that cheap recorder with my Gretsch Tennessean and worked on that puppy for hours. Finally figured it our. I think I was 14 at the time - thereabouts, anyway. Thanks for your thoughts for Di. She's holding steady. That's better than regressing. Wishing you the very best, Alan

Great to see you back here, Alan! And very good to hear that Di is remaining stable. Nice instrumental! I like the fx you added to that lead guitar track. And speaking of guitars that Monterey is one sweet looking guitar! Looking forward to hearing you lay down a track or two with it

Alan,
Great to have you back - even for a bit. Good to hear that Di is on the mend.
This is a really nice piece. You really "show off" that Brent solo track. (Makes me want to try it in something). Really nice processing on it.
The instrumental is well put together. An excellent listen start to finish.
Congrats on the new guitar!
Wishing y'all the best, as always.

Al, first I'm glad that Di is hanging in there. You both are in our prayers.
Second, I green with envy about that jazz box you just purchased
Third, great song. Super chops man!
Fourth, no one gets tired of instrumentals!
Last, I know all about writing songs when on chemo. Been there - done that.
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.

The very best to both of you!!!
And it's nice to see you back here.
We love your track. It's well mixed and as others have mentioned it really shows off Brent and what can be done with a RT. The processing is cool.
We hope you are able to drop by more often.

Janne Thank you very much, Janne. Glad you enjoyed the song. And yes, I tend to use unusual chord patterns on occasion. Wishing you well. Alan

And speaking of guitars that Monterey is one sweet looking guitar! Looking forward to hearing you lay down a track or two with it Great to hear from you. I appreciate the kind words. The audio effects are reverb with extended decay and a bit of extra rolloff, mild echo (most of the echo is from the reverb decay) and moderate distortion. Pretty basic, I guess. Thanks for the thoughts on Di. We both appreciate it. Wishing you the best. Alan

fj Hi Floyd, Good to be back. I've stopped in a couple of times for a quick listen but no time to post or offer much in the line of comments. Fortunately, today was a calmer day than I've had in several months. Thanks for the kind words on the arrangement and production. And yeah - Brent is almost superhuman when he picks up a guitar! To have even one fourth of that talent! Di says "Hi!". Wishing you and yours the best. Alan

Last, I know all about writing songs when on chemo. Been there - done that. Hey Mario! 1. Thanks for the well wishes for Di - much appreciate by both of us. 2. I've been wanting this or another ES-175 (had one back in the 60s). This was in my price range! The neck is so comfortable and great sound from the box. 3. Thank you. A very nice compliment from an accomplished instrumentalist. 4. I don't get tired of instrumentals, but some folks do. A matter of personal likes & dislikes, I guess. And yeah, that chemo can slow ya down real fast! But we're here to complain about it!!! best to you, Alan

Hi Alan,
Not had a lot of time on the forum myself recently, but nice to see you back and I hope both you and Di are going on well.
What can I say about the track. You write from the heart, just like you sing. That says it all really - you can't ask for more. Fabulous.
Take care, my friend.
All the best, ROG.

We could have sworn that lead guitar was you ;-) Really sounds great! Very well built up instrumental.
Best wishes to both you and Di
Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks so much, Rob & Ann-Marie. I wish I could still play like that! In a couple of months, gonna post a video of me actually playing a jazz tune on my new guitar. Anyway, I appreciate your very kind words for the song and for Di. Wishing you both the very best. Alan

Hello, Alan
Welcome back! Very beautiful song! Especially nice melody on the bridge part. Nice to see you posting again. Congratulations on the guitar - very sweet and nice playing!
All the best to you and Di,
Shigeki Adachi Thank you, Shigeki! Those are some very nice words. But that's Brent Mason playing guitar - he does a pretty good job, eh?! Thanks again. Alan

It's great to be back! And I appreciate all those nice words about this one. I mentioned earlier in a reply - I'm gonna post a video of my playing an original jazz tune on the new guitar in a couple of months. Again, many thanks! Alan

Good to see you back Al!! Congrats on the new guitar. This is really sweet. I could listen to Brent play forever. Any success with Songtradr? I've thought about submitting something there. Welcome back! Take care. Greg

Welcome back! Take care. Greg Hi Greg, Thank you so much for those very nice comments! And it's good to back - to the extent I can. It's a terrific guitar - wish I had more time to play it! I've had some success at Songtradr. I've had two placements and at the moment, I have two in the hands/ears of a movie musical supervisor. I've had several make the "Short List". It's a relatively inexpensive membership and the site gets lots of activity. Hope you join! Again, many thanks! Wishing you the best, Alan

Really nice work on this one guys The whole tune flows beautifully, but what really got me was those soaring guitar solos. The tune feels so free, epic, and huge. That aside, the mixing job is top notch and you really did an outstanding job making the entire tune flow nicely. Not a thing i'd change - thanks 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!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
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."
