This is what happens when you have a social distancing guitarist (who hasn't left his house in three days) armed with Band-in-a-Box.

BiaB style = Funk at T300 - Fast EV.8 funk
Tempo 200 BPM

Bass - Amplebass - Ying-Yang - Slap - FX = Presonus compression
Piano - KOntakt - Clavichord - FX = Waves - JJP Strings and Keys
Drums = Soundfont 2 - standard - FX = Saturation Knob
Strings - Kontakt - Session Horns - FX = Waves - REDD 37 - Brass
Guitar - Garritan's J&BB - Bari sax - FX = Waves - REDD 37 - Woodwind Breath

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

Hi Mario,

Something must have happened being locked up for 3 days.
You did a remarkable job in just some days!
This is a song one must hear with the monitors crancked to their top.
What chill sound you have in your song on the lead but also on the base! I like that!

Maybe if you stay at home some more days, what kind of songs will that deliver?
I'm anxious to hear the results,

Hans

Way to use the time, Mario. This sounds like so much fun. Man, do I miss social-intermingling with my jam mates! Cool bass! I think it was Victa's drummer who said, "You can't hold no groove if you ain't got no pocket." You nailed it, man!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanx Dave. Yes it is a bit wobbly as it was really just a quick and dirty jam.


I arrived early to a restaurant.
The manager asks, "do you mind waiting a bit?"
I said no.
"Good", he said. "Take these drinks to table 3"

Thanx for listening and commenting. I doubt I will be doing a lot of posting. The wife said we could get started on spring cleaning.

Thanx Floyd. That bass part is verbatim from the BiaB style. The Ample Bass Ying Yang slap preset fits it perfectly.

Thanx Hans. Yes this song was made to play loud. I'll be home for a while but I don't really know musically what I'll do next.

Yes, I did have fun doing this jam. Why not do as I do and jam with your band-in-a-box?
