I enjoyed the part about triplets. PG Music has stated for YEARS that using triplets is how Band-in-a-Box switches from straight to swing feel. This video helped me to understand why.

Hey Brad. Thanks man, that's pretty high praise, and I appreciate it. I've always loved Buddy Emmons. Can't miss with fiddles and steels.

ANY flow starts with learning how to play an instrument. Maybe try that. Eddie, is this directed at me? If so, I am learning an instrument, actually more than one; view the Showcase for examples. I don't see any examples of you on the Showcase. Can you play an instrument? I'd be interested in hearing from veteran musicians that have experienced "flow" and how it aligns or doesn't align with this article.

George .... Great sound!! Really loved it. Such an authentic sound. That steel would make Buddy Emmons proud. Excellent fiddle, and you killed it with that vocal! Brad

OK! I've completed the Bass Gtr, and Drums. There's a partial piano part from the beginning thru the 1st chorus. The chorus might be a little out of line since I couldn't deal with BIABs method for unorthodox time sigs. But what I have of the piano part can essentially just be copied. BIAB did generate what I have, and I'm extremely happy with it. I played the entire bass part myself. I have the Chord chart and literal notes for the bass so you can follow that verbatim. I need at least 2 electric gtr parts. 1 that simply plays on 2 & 4 (& 6 if necessary). 2nd guitar that plays a very clean Memphis/Muscle Shoals sound. Listen to the original if you're not sure. I also need a Hammond B3 (slow Leslie). We'll hammer the rest out. Anyhoo, here's some basic chord charts that should give you a good road map. I just realized BIAB won't accept my PDF files  . So, I'm going to ask you to give me your private email in the PM section and I'll send the PDFs to that email. It won't accept my mp3 either .

So is the objective to suggest an operational definition of “creative flow?” Sans that folks can run all over the map with experiences that may or may not have a thread of commonality. I think some degree of commonality is being observed from brain imaging data. "The musicians who were experiencing flow while performing showed reduced activity in parts of their frontal lobes, which are known to be involved in executive function or cognitive control. In other words, flow was associated with relaxing conscious control or supervision over other parts of the brain."

If you have to think, it isn't flow. Flow leads itself to where the moment is. Thinking is programming yourself and referring to some mental "lick library" you have. Copy band players do that because it is their vision quest to sound EXACTLY like the record. Like a little robotic jukebox. When you are truly into flow, just close your eyes and watch the little black dots go by in your mind as your soul takes the music where it wants to go. ANY flow starts with learning how to play an instrument. Maybe try that.

HI Janne, Definitely a fun song! I really like the percussive elements. I've used the micro chord option a few times and found them to me quite nice for certain songs. I enjoyed this a lot! Take care, Alan Thanks Alan for your kind comment Janne

Everyone of your song is a tunnel to the mysterious kingdom and I'm not sure if I've ever come back, but you seem to have returned and brought its magic, and on every visit you bring more of that magic to us. This is just excellent with melody sections that are out of this ordinary world. The flute, the bass and the guitar are painting something extra-ordinary, and they blend with other instruments seamlessly. This is very creative and enticing, an instrumental that tells a mesmerizing story, no words needed. Janne

Sounds like a song about me: if I do A, it's wrong and if I do the opposite of A, it's also wrong  So easy to relate to the main character of the theme. Excellent storytelling. Nice cliffhanger ending or should I say bridgehanger The melody, the chords and the instrumentation are in beautiful balance. Very pleasant bassline, BIAB instruments fit perfectly with it and Dave's guitar is doing everything right. The mix sounds great and the vocals make me nod with satisfaction. Janne

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
