I haven't had a chance to post in quite a while, but I finally had time to record a new tune: Saguaros This is an instrumental tune. I'm playing clarinet, all else is from the style, and the violin is a soloist. I am continually fascinated by the Saguaros here in Tucson, and this tune was inspired by those crazy cacti. I used Logic X to put it together. I'd appreciate any and all comments; I'm very new at using Logic! Here's the information from the song memo: Title: Saguaros Key=G , Tempo 140, Length (m:s)=5:47 8 bar intro, 48 bar chorus, from bar 9 to bar 56. Repeat x4 choruses Soloist track has 260 notes, Soloist harmony is <no harmony> Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Style is _EQUATOR.STY RealTracks in style: 2284:Bass, Acoustic, BossaRon Ev 140 RealTracks in style: ~2288:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm BossaKenny Ev 140 RealTracks in style: ~1216:Vibes, Rhythm Bossa Ev 140 RealTracks in style: 1856:Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085 RealDrums: RealDrums in Style: BossaBrushesFull^1-a:Sidestick, Brushes , b:Sidestick, Ride Thank you.

Very nice listen Marc. Love the clarinet. This was the first instrument I learned to place. Then the Beatles showed up on Ed Sullivan and the clarinet was traded for a guitar :-). Loved the tune

Nice song!
We both love the clarinet and have for many years.
Your arrangement with both your playing and the RT's works very well.
You'll love Logic...been using it for three years or so.
Thanks for posting this!

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
