I play the jazz trumpet chair in one big band that loves to play Spain. I have a blast blowing over the samba feel.

Dear Peter and friends ! Please forgive me for this late answer and thanks for including me on the list of winners ! My late answer is totally depending on my visit to Spain that just ended ! During my stay down there I have not been able to read or write anything on the forum so you can surely understand my surprise to find myself on this list ! I want to express my sincerest gratitude to Peter for this wonderful gift and also to congratulate all the fine musicians posting on the site ! Cheers Dani

Thanks folks for your help! I never would have searched for a Samba style for the song, but it seems to work best with BIAB.

What a beautiful song for Easter morning! The vocals are lovely, as always, and the arrangement is both majestic and ethereal. Your combo of RT’s, the Genos and your piano are a very comfortable fit indeed. Lovely! J&B Hey Janice and Bud...thanks for your lovely words and kind comments...they are very much appreciated...Dan

Hey this is great Laurent. Yes, I do think I hear a little Tal Wilkenfeld in the voice. Nice job!

You're welcome. I didn't understand your question because none of my jazz fakebooks are two songs per page, except a few huge collections like one of every popular Christmas song where the size of the printing is very small. In other words, I would never use one of those on the bandstand; I would first have to photocopy and enlarge it. Perhaps that's what you are describing.

That’s very nice, Herb. We could easily hear the Oakridge Boys or The Gaither Vocal Band performing it. Fine arrangement, write and mix. So who's playing what?  J&B

I have used PDFs from all kinds of sources, including taking a picture on my phone. I use an app called Photos to PDF, but I think there are many such apps. To your question, although I haven't expressly tested this, I'm pretty sure that ForScore just takes whatever it has and sizes it to fit the iPad screen size. I base that on the fact I've never seen it NOT do that. Can you explain what you call 'converting it into a larger image on the iPad'? Are you by any chance talking about one of those mini fakebooks, four inches in height? Matt... All my fakebooks are the full-size ones about 10"x12". Was figuringing since most fake book pages have two songs per page, I was looking to make the halk-page song show to fill the available screen. The For Score app appears to do that, both from your comment and in looking at the User manual. So I'm going to go ahead and give it a try. Thanks for the tip!!

The Hayden synth reminds me of Tal Winkenfield’s voice. The write, arrangement, choice of BiaB tracks, mix and your solo are all excellent. Video scenery of stark landscapes fits well with the melancholy lyric but also shows the beauty of life, even in the lonely moments. Enjoyed it! J&B

Hi, James. I and almost hear you singing here! Pleasant but sad song. For me, the phase "painting a fence" reminds me of Tom Sawyer, but that's a generation or two away from you.  Nicely done!

Hi, Herb. Nice country song! Solid arrangement, great country twang. I like the way the fiddle and slide guitar come in and out. Like Marty, I agree - the lead guitar hits all the right notes! I really wanted to hear a gospel choir join in on to the final chorus, but that was probably out of the budget. Happy (belated) Easter!

Hi, Donny. Cool groove, nice playing and singing. The end is a bit abrupt, but mostly because I wanted it to go on and keep listening, so that's good.

Hi, Janne. Refreshing to notice you are experimenting a different style, although it took some time to get used to the dance style Not so much to my taste musically and lyrically as your previous works, but full of energy and upbeat excitement. Keep on stepping outside the box, I'm sure there are shiny pearls to be found... and more use for your vast collection of instruments Thanks for the positive comments. Musically, it didn't quite land where I'd like it to in a number of places, but I'll revisit it when SynthesizerV is more up to the task. To be honest, I was a bit hesitant to do this at all, but I figured I needed to get over myself and stop treating each song as so precious. Great work with Saros to give love the wings, sounds powerful, I'm happy Saros a virtual singer, otherwise I would be worried about how long he can sing this hard without losing his voice I think some growl would make Saros sound more natural, but I guess Synth V doesn't provide tools for that yet. Nope, no growl. An earlier version of SynthesizerV had support for "vocal effects", but it pretty much required you to be an speech pathologist to understand, and even then, it was hard to get good results. You can also simulate it with a very fast and wide vibrato, as there are 'false vocal folds' that interact with the 'real vocal folds' causing every other vibration to go wrong. I bought a plugin effect that sort of gets that sound via distortion, but... not quite. So I'll wait until it's got proper support, or hand it to a different singer. But for now... I'm putting it aside. As a side note, after listening to your song, I wanted to listen to The Alan Parsons Project's Vulture Culture album, their jump to more dance oriented sound, never really liked those arrangements, but the songs are still their best. Heh. Big Alan Parsons fan, but I agree that the songs on Vulture Culture are hit and miss. I still remember getting the album and thinking... What went wrong?... Except for 'Days Are Numbers', which remains a big favorite of mine. There's another (almost) APP song from Eric Woolson's 'Freudiana' album called 'Let Yourself Go' that has a sax section on it, and it annoyed me so much that I created a remix that removed those parts of the song. (The saxes are actually excellent, I just didn't think it fit the tone of the song). I've studied sax arranging, but it's a lot of work - you need to write out all the chords, and then split them out onto separate tracks. Of course, BiaB could do the heavy lifting if I did that inside the program... There's a cool sax library called Austin Saxes that I look at every now and then, but it reminds me of 'Vulture Culture' and 'Hawkeye', and think Maybe not.

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."
