Hi Noel96, I agree! MIDI signals when routed correctly can definately have some impressive results. I'm a fan of the SuperMIDI tracks found inside of Band-in-a-Box. For those who don't know what those are you can find a short tutorial on our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOY0cHZTZ2QCheers, Joe Thanks for the video link, Joe. I haven't watched that before. SuperMIDI tracks are brilliant. I'm a huge fan of the piano ones... a really great invention by Team PG Music  Regards, Noel

I don't see this number fit in the contest categories, so I suggest there comes a fifth one for this song  Well done.

Wow, what a nice surprise!!
I'll admit, when I saw "Oh Susanna" in the title I thought "Oh no!".
But ... I have to say .. I really, really enjoyed this.
Well conceived, well executed, well ... everything!

Hey David,
Thank you for the positive review. It was fun to write! BIAB is indeed a very versatile program. It has never occurred to me to use it in this way before.
All the best,

Excellent work! The oboe and flute sound very good, and the mix with the background is just right!
