Hi Dani, Wow! I get to be the first to comment. That's very unusual. I'd better make it count You definitely have a flair for surf-music projects. As I was listening, I tried to work out how you managed to produce such an authentic surf sound. I think it's a combination of choosing the right instruments, choosing the right groove and being musically talented enough to record a few vocal harmonies in the style of the Beach Boys. You tick ALL the right boxes on these fronts. I enjoyed the journey... again! I've just got back from a beach holiday and you make me feel like I want to go back! I hope that you and Li had a wonderful holiday. All the best, Noel

"everyone will remember surfin´Dan"
HA! Love that, Dani!
Your best Beach Boys sound yet...
I hope you will be getting a board and hitting the waves when you retire to those sunny beaches...

What a tune! Love the harmonies and upbeat vibe on this. It would be hard to hear this and not feel uplifted. It's so catchy, and you nailed the mix on it. Sounds professional and concise. Thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

With a title like Surfin' Dan, I quickly knew whose track this was!! Cool Dani/Brian Wilson vibe!! Never stop writing surf tunes Dani, even when you're too old to surf! Really nice melody, harmonies, and vocals!! Take care. Greg

'dani48'... I've been away from the Users' forum for a spell, but I'd know that silky, teen-dream, heavenly harmonized falsetto voice anywhere !!! The 'beach' sound you wrought from your Real Tracks picks was right 'on the wave' . The vocal ahhhs were retro-perfect. And your key changes were unexpected and exhilarating because of it. I think it's possible and perfectly sensible to expect that musicians would locate a particular era of music as the one that lives most deeply in their soul, and it's not too difficult to guess where your's is: the 50's and 60's, am I right? Let me know, won't you? Any old way, I doubt if retirement is going to stifle, or subdue your music composing output. Based on what you related to us about your trip to Spain, you'll be too close to the "sunny beaches, warm water and a most mellow climate!" to suffer any diminishment of your creative powers, so don't worry us with threats of 'Surfin' Dan' being your last contribution to the Users' Forum -- we won't let you wean us off the bottle THAT easily !!! Oh, yeah...I meant to tell you that the lyrics were the very definition of the word 'care-free', and so much so that you may be responsible for some of us quitting our jobs to go to Spain with you... Surf on, 'dani48'! - bluage -

Hey Dani,
Good to see you with a new one! You rule the surf genre on this site, no question about that!
Nice work on this.
Spain! That is on our list of places to visit now that we are both retired. Next year maybe!

Hi Dani,
This had a very positive Beach Boys and Jan and Dean vibe but that is not surprising as you have master the surf sound! You did an excellent job on this one my friend.
Just remember if you get to old to surf on the ocean you can always surf on the Internet!
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

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."
