Hello, taking Peter Ganon word I am reposting this song from my original thread in the main BiaB forum. User Showcase is a logical evolution into any music related forum. I was thinking about a devoted space for our songs long time ago, thanks Peter and team, you all always doing the best! Carlos Latin Cowboy Hi all, This is a song I did as demo of a latin rock style for BIAB I built after read Clive post 'Latin Rock style like Carlos Santana' . It is a 6 instruments style and use RealTracks, RealDrums and one MIDI instruments . Lot of fun on making this, Latin Cowboy is a latin rock song in the mood of Oye Como Va "Santana' cover. Aside of guitar and sax, there is a fiddle soloing from RealTracks too, bluegrass meet latin... yeeha mamacita!! . Again the possibilities and versatility of Band in a Box with RT/RD/RB are demonstrated. I think this latin rock BIAB style also can work with likes of Santana's Black Magic Woman, Flor de Luna, etc, with moderate/fast tempos between 120-140 bpm but not for more slower songs like Samba Pa Ti. I use L_MAMBO6.STY (Latin-Mambo 6 ala Perez) MIDI style disk #25 as starpoint ( I use only the MIDI Brass section for style) then add the following RT: Bass, Acoustic, Rumba Ev 110 - #916 Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm ChaCha Ev 110 - #918 Organ, B3, Background Blues Roadhouse Ev 120 - #674 Guitar (optional), Electric, Rhythm NashvillePopClean Ev 120 (A: held) #851 Drums RD: Salsa Cha Cha Latin Jazz - #13 Additional drums: Nashville even 8 #06 (not included in the style) : I added and test it in RealBand, then DROP to Cubase, since original Santana band included percussion and drums, a must for that solid and modern latin rock character. This is a perfect item for my BIAB wish list: an additional Drum instrument slot, ideal for drum and percussion combinations! Brass (MIDI): L_MAMBO6.STY (Latin-Mambo 6 ala Perez) MIDI style disk #25 Solos: Sax, Tenor, Motown Rock Ev 120 #403 (not included in the style) Fiddle, Soloist Bluegrass Ev 130 #434 (not included in the style) --- Note: All fiddle parts/soloing in the song is from RT, except 1:50 to 2:23 which is a VSTi violin played by me with MIDI guitar. Guitar: myself ( not included in the style....just in my soul) (guitar is a Godin xtSA) Composed and arranged with Band-in-a-Box 2010, Real Band, RealTracks - RealDrums mixing, guitar recording and additional edition: Steinberg Cubase. if someone is interested in the style or song (BIAB) files from this song please drop a note here in this topic and send a PM with email address. Latin Cowboy: http://sitiopro.com/pgmusic/musicThanks for listening

Carlos you were kind enoungh to provide me a copy of the BIAB files. I have been playing over the changes and enjoying it, but, it don't sound near as good as when you do it!!! Can you upload some of your chops so we can use them too  ?

BEWARE:
I got a very prominent virus warning from my NOD32 AntiVirus software when I clicked on the first 'Latin Cowboy' link in the first post of this thread. The item was quantined as being a Trojan Downloader. Very, very dangerous. If your antivirus software didn't pick it up then I suggest you take some appropriate steps to check if it has been successful in infecting your PC.
"FraudLoad trojan is classified as downloader trojan. Once FraudLoad (a.k.a. Trojan.FraudLoad) gets on a computer, it connects to the internet and secretly downloads malwares. It is also capable of installing new computer parasites without user’s permission. Trojan.FraudLoad usually downloads rogue security programs or other trojans. This infection should be removed as soon as possible because it jeopardizes computer security and user’s privacy.
Trojan.FraudLoad is also capable of another “feature”. It may leave a computer open for a remote connection. This allows remote attacker to spy on victim and install even more malwares."

Hi John, Thanks for the trojan warning, I am sorry you got it as glad you anti-virus stopped it. I am right now in conversation with my website webmaster, please we wanted to know how you did get the virus warning: by cliking in the song link to the song in my page or when you did browse to the forum thread? Some months ago I found an forum user who was spreading unauthorized posts with spam urls, it was detected by my anti-virus as trojan. I deleted the msgs. and banned the fake user. My site www.carlosarellano.com was treated and cleaned with exhaustive anti virus procedure 15 days ago in every area of the server after we updated it to an safe Cloud server I hired in Chicago area. However, I would be grateful on advise me in the case some another issue appear. Sorry by inconveniences. Carlos.

Carlos
It's about 20F today with 4 - 6 inches of snow remaining on the ground from storm a couple days ago. But otherwise, Chicago is a nice part of the world if you don't like mountains, coast line, or tropical weather. If you do get the opportunity to visit and you need a host be sure to let me know and I would be glad to help out.
