Hi, Seth.
I enjoyed it!
Nice chord changes, but I would have liked a bit more melody.

Oh, yeah!! Welcome to the forum, Seth. What a wonderful piece to begin your long and rewarding journey of BiaB, Yes, very inspirational and a terrific tool for composition. It's even useful in printing parts for other musicians. Oh, man, such a good feel on that piano. If elevators sounded like this, I'd ride all day. In spite of the crowds.

Seth,
Welcome to the Showcase.
Nice use of BIAB.
Nice work on the piano.
This sounds like a track that could be used to write lyrics to.
Good mix. (Since you are showcasing your piano, I thought it could have been just SLIGHTLY "brighter")
Hope you enjoy being a part of the community.

Welcome to the forum, Seth.
I like your song and your chord choices, sounds very interesting.
I think your song would be a good track for a singer, we have a lot of talent here on the forum, maybe someone could collaborate with you if you want to go in that direction.

Good playing, I enjoyed it. I liked how you shared space with the other instruments and weren't afraid to let guitars take over at certain points. Very nice work.

Thank you and that would be cool! How would I get in touch with a vocalist?

Seth welcome to the most friendly site on the web.
Outstanding first post.
BiaB is fantastic for composing and learning new genres as well as a great tool for practicing.
Loved the song.
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.

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."
