Just for the Heck of it The other day I said "just for the heck of it" I'm going to just mess around with Band-in-a-Box and my instruments: that is with no preconceived notions about what I was going to accomplish. Hence the title. This is what I came up with as a song. BiaB Style = Pat M Slow Age, Country, Jazz Tempo = 65 BPM I deleted the bass and the drum tracks Piano - EZKeys - Dream Machine - preset -Dream Weaver - Note that this track is a combination of BiaB and EZKey parts, both which were modified to better fit the song. Strings - Kontakt - The String Collection - preset - New World Strings Utility - Hybrid 3 - preset - 44 Rich PWM Pas Drums - various GrooveMonkee MIDI loops, Steven Slate's SSD-5 preset DeLuxe Indie 01 Me via my wind controller - Swam Soprano Sax via my MIDI keyboard controller - Kontakt - preset Marimba my Squire P-Bass As always all comments are welcome.
My momma didn't raise a fool. And if she did it, was one of my brothers.

Pretty nice Mario. Sometimes just "for the heck of it" brings very nice stuff, no especial reason or objective, Just for the heck of it.
Liked it a lot.

Glad you said "just for the heck of it" as it yielded a cool tune.
We enjoyed it and your performances are ace.
Hey, when did the wind controller re-enter the scene?

J&B Thanx, I'm glad that you liked it. Way back when I purchased my wind controller an ex-forum member, Stan, bought one. I have helped Stan set up and use BiaB via emails. He lives in California. When my wind controller died he said he hasn't play his in years so he gave it to me: note I tried to buy it but he wouldn't hear of it. We still communicate back and forth today. It was a problem setting it up as the editor only runs on XP and not in compatibility mode. Luckily my neighbor had an old XP laptop that he gave me. It took me longer to get the laptop to run than it did setting up the wind controller! I owe Stan a big favor!

... that is with no preconceived notions about what I was going to accomplish ... Hmh, this is my normal modus operanti for ALL my songs... I would already run out of song titles after the first one  Nice song with melancholic feeling, I like that. Calms me down after a hard day's work.

Hi Mario. You threw me a curve there. With the opening drums I thought I was in for a rocker, so I was surprised at how smooth and easy this one. You are really are good at coming up with those tunes that someone can just close their eyes and drift away to. Another good one!
