Hey Robertkc, this was swell! Good choice of instruments here and very easy to listen to. The drum beat specifically is quite crunchy and good use of effects on the vocals. Well done!

Hi Al-David, what a marvelous piece I might say! I found this very easy to listen and I dig the overall timbres. Definitely has that tension and release a soundtrack piece would call for. Thanks for sharing!

Well done Will! This sounds very full and found the rhythm is easy to follow. Thoroughly enjoyed the strings to harmonize everything, and it sounds quite authentic!

More reasons - Shots, Rests & Holds: 1. Using holds & shots often will affect the soloist, so that it instead of actually soloing over those bars, it goes along with the rest into shots & holds (which is rarely what you'd want). Solution: Generate the soloist before you enter the Chords Options for the SRH (shots/rests/holds), then freeze Soloist and now adjust SRH for the other tracks (see/hear for instance my "Modern Mozart" in Showcase where I've done precisely this).

All of their midi drum loop packs are on sale for %50 off, which comes to $9.95. They work with quite a few different platforms, including EZDrummer2. I think I'll probably get a few, I already have their blues sets which are pretty good. https://groovemonkee.com/collections/midi-loops

Nice work on this one! Love the groove, and the energy behind this tune. It flows flawlessly well, and all the instruments do a great job of complimenting one another. The kind of tune I can imagine sounds unreal live. Thanks for sharing

Dave Man, This is a great. I have noticed that over the years, I would say the last 2 in particular, the "core group" of posters--who have been so kind as to share their musical gifts with us for free--have been improving their songs and increasing their chops at a fairly dizzying rate. I think it is because everyone has been trying so hard to put their "game face on" that a higher level of passion and enthusiasm for the music has been created. So, when I listen to a song

Guitarhacker I work in Raleigh and live in Durham. One of the reasons that I left RIAA is the job kept me on the road most of the time and I was ready to start a family. My government job doesn't involve any travel, but I have twin toddlers and another child on the way so I don't have a lot of time to invest but will consider getting involved. I already knew from my lurking that a lot of you guys live in this area.

Hi Noel, the song title is a true characterization of the song itself: It's so beautiful. Very touching music and lyrics. I agree with everything that's been said by the other forum members - what a treat. Cheers, Stefan

Band-in-a-Box® - Freezing Tracks
Like what you hear in Band-in-a-Box®? Make sure to Freeze the track(s) or song! Once frozen, it won't be regeneraged or change when you play it again - and your choice isn't final, since you can unfreeze them just as easily:
-press the blue snowflake button within the track name of the mixer window
-press the blue snowflake button within the expanded toolbar of the program (Ctrl + T will swap between the two toolbar views), and select the track(s)
Note: If you want to force Band-in-a-Box® to generate tracks without adjusting the Freeze settings, hold down the Shift key as you press the [Generate and Play] button (the fly-by hint will remind you of that) or choose the menu command Play | Play Special | Generate (even if tracks are frozen).
