Dear Forum Friends,

Another year has got behind us and man has it been a busy one for me. "How busy was it?"

It was so busy I didn't have time to write any new music, I barely had time play piano, and I hardly spent any time in the PGM Forum. So sorry. I resolve to do better this new year. I bought the new BB 2023 to start me off on the right track so to speak.

I hope you are all well, doing fine, and bring joy by sharing your musical gifts. Although I don't have anything new for you, here's my New Year's Eve song from a few years ago.

It's New Years Eve

I wish you all the best in the coming year.

Mike B

Fun holiday tune. How did you do the horns? Liked the BGVs. We'll be listening for you in '23.

Jaunty New Year's tune. I like the stereo placing of the BGVs. Thanks for posting. Happy New Year!

Fun song!

I really like your stereo spread.

Great vocal and piano chops.

I would be interested in the horn sounds. Were they RTs or MIDI? If MIDI what was the VSTi? Thanx in advance.

Thanks guys. I'm glad you liked it. There are so few New Year's Eve songs I just wanted something new in the classic style.

The horns are midi I played on a keyboard. I can't find the exact patch but I think it was SampleTank 3. I do remember working on the sound quite a bit with various effects. There are so many great midi synth out there now.

Great to hear from you SpaceDog. I just started in the forum in Feb. or March of last year, so this is the first I've heard from you. Welcome back, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from you this year. I agree with the above comments - fun, jaunty, and great stereo panning on those BGV's.
