No Name I have decided to not give this song a title and to not have a song description. I will let the listener choose his or her own title and description. The start of this song is a little unusual as I was messing around in EZKeys2 and come up with a song that I liked. I transferred the song to both my DAW and BiaB. I picked a BiaB style I liked and the rest is history. BiaB style - Cloudy New Age Piano Tempo - 91 BPM I deleted the bass and string tracks. Piano - Kontakt - preset - Pure Jazz Vibes Guitar - SynthMaster One - preset - pad - Galaxy Utililty - Modified to better fit the song - Kontakt - Kirt Hunter Virtuoso strings and Solid State Orchestra strings and Amadeus Full String Ensemble. Drums - various Steven Slate's SSD5 drum kits EZKeys2 track - Lounge Lizard - preset - Tine Bases 13 Model V Via my breath and keyboard controllers I am playing the oboe track, I copied and modified the oboe track for the string lead and French horn leads. Band-in-a-Box is playing the backing tracks. As always all comments are welcomed.
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

Mario,
Nice work on the controllers. Cool oboe... A flowing melody. Easy on the ears.
Description: Meditative. Relaxing. Engaging. Title: The Rest Is History
Lovely.

Epic and relaxing ... if those aren't contradictory. Big sound!
Great performances, arrangement, backing tracks and mix.
We never cease to be amazed by the controller and the oboe is a treat.
Enjoyed it,
No Names

I agree with Janice and Bud, great arrangement, sounds like a professional sound track, and is soothing.

A potential title for this could "Tracking Sound" and as it sounds like soundtrack material. I really like the oboe sound, but I'd liked to have heard more of it in this,
Some favourite Waoist Adages: #1: Play on the Way. #17: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you. #69: Bring consciousness to it. #74: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made. #105: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Mario, wow, this is truly majestic! The oboe sounds great, but I'm really blown away by the flow of the arrangement and mix. Could be a movie soundtrack for sure. Another nice one!

I have decided to not give this song a title Then at least call it "A Song With No Name". The lyrics (sung with a melody written by a band named after an insignificant continent west of Europe) go like this: On the first part of the journey I was looking for a name But everything I could think of Sounded bad and really lame.
You're welcome, Mario As always, I like the laid-back soundscape you create, it's very relaxing for me. The drums take that away in places, but I don't know if a chillout sound was what you were going for.

Cool lyrics but I think I may have heard them before, maybe when I was in an oasis in the Sahara Desert! I'm glad that you liked it.

Mario,
It's a beautiful song. It's a very relaxing sound. The tones of each selected instrument are very nice. Since you are using a wind controller, the oboe sounds very natural. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Mario,
The soundscape of your songs is always full and rich with a lead track that perfectly allies with it. You have mastered that wind controller - you can make it sound like almost anything.
This is beautiful and sonically dynamic. A true pleasure to my ears.
Best to you,
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."
