Hello Scott C,

Very nice guitar solo. The reverb is perfect, the brass are perhaps too much in the background while their backing line is perfect. Very pleasant piece, the outro is a bit abrupt. The mix may need to be reviewed. But that's good in this composition.

Scott, you have some extremely nice chops going on here! Love that axe's tone. Super mix.

To nitpick I would eliminate the sax while you are playing. I found it to be a little distracting. Between your leads it was OK. Also you might want to clean up that ending.

Overall this is very good.


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.

I'm digging the guitar work.

Have to echo the comments on the strings in the background.

That delay really hangs well.
Sax is fine but I'd rather hear your guitar.
Cool stuff & nice to hear where Swoon came from.


Cheers

Hi Scott,

A beautiful solo on your guitar. What a very nice sound that guitar has! But that was to be expected from someone who plays as marvelous as you!
I agree though with comments about the sax (too far way, but it is also not really necessary in this song), the mix (the other instruments can be brought a bit more foreward) and the end (too sudden).
But that says nothing about the lovely melody you made, only some adjustments to improve the 'mood' of this song.

Have a nice day,
Hans

Excellent chops, Scott. Man, that delay really makes those strings pop. What a good sound all around. If I was the sax player, I'd say, "Hey, Scott, you're burying me, man." But as a listener I'm glad.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Wow, I really enjoyed this one! Flows tremendously well - and the saxophone worked really well despite being as quiet as it was. The guitar is really star of the show, and that's a-ok by me. Thanks for sharing smile

Thanks for checking out the song. Yes there are some rough patches in the song. This is more of a working copy of a song that went on to Robert for vocalization. Gals you liked it

Thanks Hans for checking out the song. Thanks for the comments on the mis. This was a rough draft of a song we were going to develop into a vocal. Will play with mix and see if I can tune it up

Tasty little interlude, Scott. It would be interesting to see how that translates to words.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
