This is a piece I developed using Band in a Box, Finale and Sonar Platinum. The midi backing tracks were realized in Band in a Box then ported to Sonar and mixed there. The drums are Addictive Drums 2. The Bass is Sonar's S1:Bass. The piano is the Garritan JaBB Steinway Piano. The Electric Guitar is Strum from Sonar. The strings are GPO4. The sax is me playing my tenor.

I hope you enjoy this easy listening pop tune. I know I enjoyed mixing it!

Really cool man. You are using a lot of the same tools I know and love myself and making spectacular use of them. As you have discovered, BIAB is not just Real Tracks, there is some awesome stuff you can do with the midi capabilities, and using other synths, and combinations. (Mixing in real tracks with soft synths and live stuff too.)

Great job, I really enjoyed it!!

A nice song, and nice arrangement

Thanks David and VideoTrack for the nice comments.

After listening to it again and again, I decided to improve on the intonation of the sax. Here is the re-mastered version.

Rich,

I'm getting a FILE NOT FOUND error on SoundCloud. Maybe your working on the file?

I listed the new connection to the piece in a later reply. If you are getting a dead link then here is the proper link:

Don, I am sorry for the problem. I did remove the original because there were a few (well a lot) of intonation problems with my first recording of the sax part. I replaced the link with this one:

https://soundcloud.com/richrayer/lifes-journey-mastered-2-24-16

But that link shows up farther down the posts as a new post and you probably didn't see it. I don't know how to edit a post in this forum so that the new link will show up in my original topic post.

Maybe the link in this post will give you a chance to hear the piece.

I have worked on the piece and re-mastered it (I wasn't totally happy with the first result. Unfortunately, I don't know how to edit my original post to change the link. Therefore, I have put the new link in the reply section a few times. Here is the correct link:

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
