I love that delicious flute groove!! The beat just draws in the listener. Excellent guitar work as well. I'll be hoping you have a lot of rain in your neck of the woods!! Doodle on!! Take care. Greg
Very cool doodling. We have been going through a bit of a hot spell but we are having a cool rainy day today and couldn't think of anything better than listening to your cool piece of music. Flute was excellent but your guitar was just superb. Well done
If you give doodling lessons, sign me up! That backing track is killer! An your axe just adds to the fun! I enjoyed this as much as anything you've done recently. Super cool!!!

Thanx Greg. We aren't having a lot of rain and we are still a little dry. There is more rain predicted for this week. My wife hopes not as she is almost living in her swimming pool!
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.

Thanx Scott. We have had a very hot and dry summer thus far. This rain was the first that we have had in a long time. It has been the hottest summer on record thus far.

I can not give doodling lessons as I don't have any idea what in God's name that I'm doing! I just play to have fun. Sometimes it sounds OK and you all get to listen to it but sometimes I have to hit the Delete button!

Rhythmically funky, yet wistful in mood ...minor-keyed, yet mellow...artfully atmospheric...these are the words that came to my mind as I listened to "Rainy Day Doodling".
Some of your "changes" were daring and unexpected, but also musically exciting to hear. They kept me anticipating where the song would go.
The breaks between the verses were playful and fun to anticipate. The Real Drums cymbal work added mist and shimmer to the track's sound. If you hadn't informed us of the instruments you played -- the bass, the guitars and the flute -- I would have presumed they were Real Tracks because of the relaxed feel of your improvisations.
I'd take the word "Doodling" out of your title. It makes it sound as though you were just playing around, but the song doesn't come off like that. It sounds like it was performed by a tight and talented group of musicians who conjured up the feel, the scent, and the taste of...a rainy day.
Sincerely,

"Music is what feelings sound like."-- borrowed from a Cakewalk Music Creator forum member, "Mamabear".
Excellent jazzy song, could be a good one for the soundtrack of a 70's art movie Very nice groove with nice stops. Great sound and playing, especially the flute. Instrumentation really works, and that breathing sound (cymbal?) makes this song... breathe.
You sir, are very impressive at doodling! That's a cools on my book. The guitar work was really cool, and loved the flute.
I have to ask, how did you get such great stops? I get them, but usually in that many I would have one that flops. Teach me your doodling ways if you would please sir.
Great job Mario!

Thanx so much Loren. The drums are not RealDrums. They are MIDI drums.
Thanx for your "If you hadn't informed us of the instruments you played -- the bass, the guitars and the flute -- I would have presumed they were Real Tracks because of the relaxed feel of your improvisations" comment. I know that I am no where as good as those RT pro players but I do have fun playing my instruments.

Thanx Janne. Yes that breathing sound was a MIDI cymbal. Thanx for noticing that.

After you get a verse and/or chorus with the stops where you want them then copy and paste does the rest.
PS - yes I am a very lazy guy!

Wonderful job Mario - and a great usage of the hip hop style. The groove is amazing on this one, and the instrument selection is superb and unique. In particular, the flute fit in perfectly.
Hmmmm, I thought I listened to this previously and commented. I must have forgotten to hit submit. Well this gives me a chance to listen again. Really liked the vibe of the tune and especially the flute. Some very nice noodling indeed. Perfect for a rainy day or any other day for that matter.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
