Not Another Sound I'm not quite sure what I have here nor how I got here with this Tune, but here it is ... RealDrums: Jazz TerryClarke 2128 Acoustic Bass 454 Acoustic Piano Solo 2198 Electric Piano plus my writing for midi piano and Bass and various sound effects Not Another Sound (9-17-2018) When you’re around there’s not another sound I want to hear my Dear Your smile loud as laughter Your gaze a singing jay Your voice a maestro dancing ‘cross some yellowed Ivory A treat delicious you are the sweetest thing around My Dear you are like peaches And I hear not another sound When you’re around there’s not another sound I want to hear my Dear Your sigh so gracious You yawn in Harmony Your moan a Diva breaking down some complex melody

Man, how cool was that?! Great groove and I love the vocal delivery, just so smooth and laid back. Piano is killer! Some great lines, "Your sigh so gracious, you yawn in Harmony" is my favorite. I thought the sound effects took away from the song somewhat, worked well in the intro but might be better to tone them down a bit during the vocal? But just my opinion and I could be wrong Overall I very much enjoyed this one.

Wow, this has the unsettling effect of watching two movies playing at the same time.Like the night clubby cool romance of the song is about to be interrupted by those street disturbances... and barking dogs! Its very creative and original -I need to listen again to get over the surprises. Your vocal phrasing is a lesson and I enjoyed the groove and sophistication in the lyrics.

It's like Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormé, Tom Waits and Frank Zappa got together and one of the Franks said "Hey! Let's write something!" (likely the other one said "Okay. Let me get a drink first.")
I've never describe anything on this forum as avant garde - but this surely fits the bill.
Nice to hear you do a cool-jazzy vocal. Cool Soul. Super!
Awesome production. Excellent mix.
A great listen. Going back for a third helping...

Wow - what a tune! It's just a unique take on the classic crooner tune. The groove is incredible and had my toe tapping from the get go, and the way all those instruments work together is fantastic, albeit almost dizzying. A really interesting listen for sure. It reminds me sort of a toned down "Trout Mask Replica" (the Captain Beefheart album). Great work, and thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

Man, how many sides do you have with your vocal chops?
Multiple genres, genre mashups and you NEVER miss a step.
Love what floyd said about the "Franks!"
Janice thought it a bit of Harry Connick, Jr. channeling!
We like all the sounds...hard now to imagine it w/o them.
Absolutely one of the year's top posts.
The entire production, vocal performance and midi work is sophisticated, classy and cool!!!
Wow.

Robert Thank you Robert. I did set it up like a scene in a film. The Singer steps off a train and walks past a dog to get to the concert where he can hear the crowd cheering. As he approaches the stage the drummer starts and then the band joins in. He takes the mic and sings. Finally after the song is over the band goes to a restaurant to chill.

Wow Lawrence was this a cool tune. That intro was so neat. I have all kinds of images playing in my head when listening. Super vocal. The drums, those bass runs and piano. Wow. Very cool indeed..

Wow! That was a wild ride! So creative, and way out there...I loved it! I’m not even sure what some of the sound effects were supposed to be but you’re weird lyrics that you placed over the Nervous Jazz beat gave the whole thing a very strange but seductive vibe. I feel this is the result of very open-minded creative “sound” composition and the result was interesting, curious, Funny, but at the same time very high-quality. it’s something I want to listen to again. Kudos on the great work, man!

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."
