All, I started this song a while ago with BiaB, and then step by step I've completely changed it. Hooked by the arpeggio functions of the Roland Fantom G, where actually all the sounds come from, I've then knocked out this idea: http://sergiomarcello.com/music/idea.mp3Still lots to do, but you get an idea of the song direction :-) Regards, Sergio

I see how it's easy to get hooked on those Roland sounds. Good job. Did hear a slight hum you may want to address as you continue to progress with the song.

This is a great start! Super sounds!
BiaB has a way of changing a lot of songs that I do.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hi Sergio,
Nice to "meet" you. We don't get a lot of this style of music on the boards. It was a very pleasant change of pace!
We loved the way the intro built in layers. That approach always builds a certain amount of anticipation. Very nice work! We enjoyed the light, easy-going feel to this one. Best to you ...

All, many thanks for the nice comments, very appreciated :-)
@c_fogle, yes about the hum you are absolutely right, I'll care about it in the future.
Best regards, Sergio.

It may just be my system, but I had to adjust the bass down a bit to keep it from overpowering the rest of the music. I really enjoyed the piece. It had a good energy and a really nice flow.

Sergio...
I like this a lot! You used BIAB the same way I do.. to prep an idea for development elsewhere. Yes, interesting and different from most of what we usually hear here.
I think the user showcase helps us all to see just what's possible with this amazing software! We all tend to get in ruts.. and sometimes through mutual influence we get in the same rut together. Then somebody like you comes along and does something very different. When that happens, its as though somebody discovered a new door in the universe, and now we can explore places we never even knew existed before
I like the arpeggiated passage. I need to learn how to do that.

cool sounding tune.
I'd bring the lead synth up a few db in the mix.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Thanks all for the encouraging comments, very kind from you !
All right, in the next 'release' I will:
1) suppress the hum 2) adjust the bass volume 3) bring the lead synth up a few db in the mix
I can't only trust my ears, that's why your opinions are so important to me :-)
Regards, Sergio.

Good work Sergio, I really enjoyed this, it's a very infectious piece. I loved the lead 'guitar' work and the bass sound was superb. I look forward to the remix!

Different from what is typically posted or what I typically listen to...and that is another reason that we so much enjoy this community. The mix sounds fine on my monitors but they are "bass light." I would imagine that a great video could be created around this.
Kudos!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
