I'm still learning how to use Logic Pro 11 and Band in a Box 2024. Sure wish I'd done this a few years back during the covid lockdown. Here's a little arrangement of Auld Lang Syne that I did to post to my friends this past New Year's Eve. It's in Bb major, "The People's Key" as it is known to wind players. I put a short 8 measure interlude in the middle so that I could improvise a solo.
On the intro, I had band in a box generate a solo with a real track featuring Jeff Lorber. Tempo is quarter note = 85 bpm.
Memo: This slow 1970s funk rock style features a perfect drum groove that is backed by pop organ, two electric guitars, and electric bass. -Examples: Rock On, Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get, Genre "Intensity" Score=60/100 _PAPASAN.STY.

Yep, an oldie but goodie. I love Robert Burns, have you ever tried "Caer the Yeowes?" (My spelling might be off there.) I liked the little surprise lick you did at 1:50 and the ending lick. Good job!

WOW! As soon as I finish here, I gotta go back to you YT channel. Love the sax, man. Every song should have one --there's even a few sax concerti. BIG welcome to the forum, Steve. Can't wait to hear more.
Oh, man, what an enjoyable time I just spent on your YT channel, Steve. Good band, too, sir.

I noticed that you are near Rochester. Ever spend any time at the Eastman School of Music?
No I haven't. When things were happening there I was either gigging or having family time. I needed family time as I most of the time I had three jobs, my daily main job, gigging, and teaching guitar and bass. My actual social life was literally zero.

Is there a way to get BIAB real tracks to play specific melodic lines? I know I can do with with midi, but how difficult is it to translate the midi lines to real tracks? Is that even possible?
