El Baile De La Flor I started to write this song in February 2015 for a remix contest for Enrique Iglesias’ Baliando. The core of the song became so good that my friends asked me if I can make an instrumental out of it. So I started to work for the instrumental in March and a month later the song was ready. Almost every track in this song is created from Band In a Box, except drum loops and cymbals. The following real tracks were used: - Bass, Baby, Bolero, #1901 - Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm BoleroMelodic, #1905 - Real Drum – Salsa Bolero - Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm Bolero, #1903 - Guitar, Electric, Soloist SmoothJazzCool (Bluesy), #1306 - Trumpet, Bossa, #479 - Guitar, Electric, Soloist SambaFusionCarlos [Double Time], #1647 - Sax, Tenor, Soloist BossaSlowJack, #2411 I arranged the tracks in Samplitude music studio. On top of the stock plugins, I used Voxengo OldSkool Verb. I hope you enjoy!

Ogi,
Welcome to the Showcase! A magnificent entrance!
Beautiful song. Delightful arrangement. Perfect mix. Nice instrument choices - and nice trade-off of lead instruments. The song remained interesting from beginning to end.
Very enjoyable. Already listened a couple of times...
Very professional sounding. Look forward to more.

Hi Ogi, Welcome to Users Showcase. I completely agree with floyd. This is a spectacular entrance to the forum. Beautiful music that's arranged with pizzazz and elegance. Musicianship sparkles everywhere! For the life of me, I can hear no hint of BIAB anywhere. It's great you dropped in. All the best, Noel

Great to have a song which further demonstrates the uniqueness of the BiaB system. This is really pleasant to listen to, well balanced.
A really nice listen.
Thanks for sharing. Great effort actually.
Best

Wow! Thank you all for the nice words. I was working on it almost 2 months in total as I was paying attention to every note by aligning the parts, changing the pitch and length. Though it is my first submission here it is not my first song that I create with BIAB. You can check the rest of my songs on my soundcloud channel. If you like I can create more threads  If you're curious, this is the remix (it sounds more like a cover to me) that I created initially: Bailando (Chillout Bossa Nova Remix) Thank you once again! Ogi

Beautiful!! What's shocking is how melodic all of the solos are. Everything sounds tailored to the composition. Beautiful open, clear mix. I'm going to have to play with these tracks! Much enjoyed. Take care. Greg

That's a nice jazzy song - from your track selection it's a salsa bolero. You've put it together very sweetly.

Cheers. Thanks, RichMac I tried to be as precise as my nerves could stand for it Hi Ogi,
welcome to the forum.
What a great first post!
Nice varied arrangement, good mix and nice choice of instruments.
I like your remix, too.
Guenter Thanks! It is really great how BIAB is built and the tools it has to produce a song without a single musician around Beautiful!! What's shocking is how melodic all of the solos are. Everything sounds tailored to the composition. Beautiful open, clear mix. I'm going to have to play with these tracks! Much enjoyed. Take care. Greg Thank you, Greg! I wish to mention that the solos are not coming this way out of BIAB. I had to change some notes, also to combine different part of the performances in order to achieve this at the end. But what really matters is the source material, and it is really great indeed. That's a nice jazzy song - from your track selection it's a salsa bolero. You've put it together very sweetly. Thanks, Pete! I haven't thought of it, but you're right. Salsa bolero it is. I just go through many soloist parts and select those as they fit the best to each other. A beautiful song and very enjoyable listen. Thanks for posting.
Charlie Thank you, Charlie!

Like Greg said it is amazing the degree to which
you managed to hold the melodic theme with
the RT's. No doubt that took a LOT of work
and it paid off. Everything seems seamless
and the mix is perfect. I much enjoyed it.
Congrats!

Hello Ogi,
Usually we are not too keen on instrumentals, but this is interesting from start to finish!
Well done.
