I'm glad you liked it Tangmo.


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 so much Noel. I don't have that wind controller mastered but I am trying. I'm not ready for prime time yet.

Great job and thanks for sharing!

Thanx J&B. Actually my magic garden is walking through our wooded state parks, taking pictures. I find that very relaxing.

That is some piece of equipment, the wind controller and well played.

Googled the biz on the wind controller, now on xmas list.



Thanx. The wind controller is an Akai EWI USB:

https://www.amazon.com/Akai-Professional-EWI-USB-Electronic/dp/B001MTKAD0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1538165694&sr=8-2&keywords=akai+usb

This has no internal sounds. All of the sounds are computer VSTis.

There is an Akai with internal sounds but it costs more:

https://www.amazon.com/Akai-Professional-Electronic-Instrument-Wireless/dp/B00IJF00GW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1538165813&sr=8-2&keywords=akai+wind+controller

This will also play VSTis.

I chose Akai because it has a pseudo trumpet fingering. I played trumpet and French horn years ago so the transition wasn't too hard. The octave rollers still give me the fits at times.

There are other brands of wind controllers out there so be sure to check them out also.

Hello, Mario

Yes, magic garden indeed.
Very nice ambient music!
The flute via your wind controller is really nice.
The use of each VST instrument is wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

2-Guitar to a Psaltery - Kontakt-Psaltery
3-string to a Choir - Play-Symphonic Choirs
4-drums-as is except I used many different sound sources
5-bass to a pad-Ultra Analog - Ambient-Whispering Wind

Secret sauces = I can't tell you. They are a secret! OK I'll tell ya, EQ, slight compression and the Studio One warming plug-in.

Edit - I am playing the flute via my wind controller.



Mario, you're such a master with the new age style of music, I love ALL your tunes. Thia one would make a fabulous background for a nature documentary

Hi, Mario !:))


Thought I had commented earlier
but seems it had gone into the
cyberspace ??? Anyhow, my friend,
this is a wonderfully ambient piece
with mysterious space sounds and
so interesting chords !:))

I love that kind of music and this
is from the top of that pile !!!

Cheers
Dani

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."

Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
