Well played. Well structured, and and the instruments sound like they're playing part of the same tune. I enjoyed this listen. Twice, actually.

But... it sounds like there some of the instruments aren't in tune, which is a bit distracting. Then again, it could just be my ears.

Thanks!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi,

Thanks for your comments much appreciated.

David may be right about the "tension" of tuning in parts, I'm playing a low E 6th on the lead guitar against a Gm chord.

Regards smile

Liked the groove of this track. I especially liked the low notes your were playing. And the variety of rhythm changes added a lot of interest, including the stops. That fiddle was a nice touch as well.

You also led me to find out more about Jersey Channel Islands, a place I'd never heard of!

Brian,

A very happy feeling you`ve capture here. I like the mix of celtic percussion with your guitar and the jazzy fiddle is a surprise which works.
"Upbeat Folk Festival"? So no sad songs allowed?

Thanks for that Tano Music.

Jersey has a lot of history and I believe New Jersey USA was named of her, we used to build trading ships in the early 1800's and many of them were used for the Cod fishing trade in New Jersey.
Also during the second world war Jersey and the Channel Islands was the only British soil the German army invaded.

Regards

Brian

Really nice work Brian smile It flows smooth as butter, and the instrument selection is superb. To boot, your playing on this is excellent as well. This is the kind of tune I imagine would sound unreal live.

Great job and thanks so much for sharing!

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."
