Superb!

Howdy Folks!

And yes, you remember correctly. I played nothing but country for the first 25 - 30 years of my music making - about 50 years total. I grew up playing Hank Williams, Webb Pierce, Wynn Stewart, Eddy Arnold, Faron Young, Billy Walker - then Merle, Buck, Ray Price, and the like.

But I always listened to Lou Ralls, Stevie Wonder, The Commodores, Dizzy Gillespe, Lionel Hampton, george Shearing and performers of that ilk when I was at home. Always liked James Brown - Chuck Berry not so much.

Anyway ... I truly appreciate your very kind and supportive comments. I'll be faxing you a big bunch of 'thank yous' and a cup of my homemade chili. Sorry if it gums up the fax machine! Best to you both.

Alan

Alan, super energetic funk/soul cut. Perfect for the workout crowd. The horns sound great. This is a fine example of what this program can do when manipulated by expert hands. Well done, Tom

Cool tune...

I saw a documentary on James Brown.... seems he was quite the demanding task master with his bands. Precision and perfection were the rules of the day. In fact, in one of his live show videos, you can hear him yell "Got Cha" to the drummer who missed a syncopated beat. He charged a fine for such infractions of his rules.

Your tune was funky. All it was lacking was the Godfather himself yelling "Hit me"... "Owwwww"... "Get it baby"

Hello, Alan

Very cool old Motown soul sound!
Really nice horn section!
The bass and drums also make a very good taste of Motown.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

This sounds really great all. Let me know if you find that style!!!

Was it JB_Brass an all midi style to which you added real tracks??

It is right below JBrown which may be a tip-off.

hey herb!

many thanks, my friend. And yeah, I've heard the same things about JB. he considered himself the ultimate entertainer, not just a singer. You probably know, but if you don't here's a bridge in Steamboat Springs, CO named after him (I used to live in Denver). It's the James Brown Soul Center of the Universe Bridge.

Man, if I could song 1/10 as good as him, I'd put some screaming lyrics to this. I can barely sing "Mary Had A Little Lamb" without tomatoes headed my way! But I thought the same thing about getting someone to put a vocal on it. Don't know anyone who can do it, though.

Many thanks!

Alan

Well Greg,

The Answer is still Blowing In The Wind! Glad you liked it! It originally started out as just a workout tune with a basic funky bed. But it morphed into this pretty quickly.

Thanks so much! Best to you.

Thank you very much, Shigeki. The MoTown sound was my goal. I'm glad to hear it came out that way. Thank you so much.

Thank ya, sir! When ya ready to do those screaming vocals??!! My vocal cords just went into hiding at the mere thought. As you know, merely humming off-key is a major accomplishment for me. But I sure do appreciate those very nice words - thank you very much!

David,

Thanks for the nice words. And yes, it's the JB_Brass style. I remember I substituted real tracks for all but the bass and the midi horn tracks. I added a paired set of BIAB horns. if you use the use the PG Dynamics plug-ins on the base and drums, it really brings them to life.

Thanks again and hope that additional info helps. best to you. be safe in the storm!!!!

Alan

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."
