Just love the sound of the Big Band in BIAB, so relaxing and nice to hear. I had nothing to do with this except to chord it. Well maybe that is all I need to do!!! Enjoy Cliff

Cool sounding track, Cliff. Good mix.

BIAB can really astound.

Hard to believe you would not throw some words on that!

A good listen.

Hi cliftond, Great work on this! Thanks for sharing this with us! I enjoyed this! I enjoyed the overall vibe and found this very easy to listen to. The horn section is very warm and helps glue the song together. Well done!

Super big band sound here.

It is amazing what BiaB and a little imagination can do and you proved it here with a genre I don't think I have heard before here.

I think that you did more than just put the chords in the song. Your cut and paste and mixing skills are excellent.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Good Evening,

Wow, what a great old sound. Di and I love the Big Band era of the 30s, 40s & early 50s. This is so nicely put together. And you are so right about BIAB - what a terrific program! Thanks for a really great listen!

Really nice work on this one smile It sounds really well put together, and I love the swinging groove on this one. It got my foot tapping from the get go, and the whole tune just flows so well and so naturally.

Great job here - thanks for sharing!

As others have already said, it sounds great - especially through headphones.

BiaB has some really fun sounds that just aren't in a style that I can pull off - but it's a blast hearing them come out of my computer. Pretty amazing stuff!

Thanks for posting this. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hello Benny Goodman! This is the best big band sound I have heard with BIAB - you absolutely nailed this Cliff.

I really enjoyed this... So well done!

Really cool and different - I think you just alerted some listeners to a little heard style in BiaB.
Of course there`s more to this than just entering chords and punching a style ( which tracks did you use?).
Very nice mix.
