KOB,

Cool that you have mixed "old" (a standard) with "new" (loops). An interesting listen...

Your sax is a little "too out front" (an opinion, of course - it's a very small amount). It could be brought down a dB or 2 to sit in the mix better - or adding a little reverb to it might be just the thing - that often has the impression of making something a bit softer and helps it sit in the mix better.

Are the loops from the new set included in BIAB 2015? If so, it would be interesting to see what they are...

Always interesting to hear something with a difference. Agree that the sax dominates a little too much.

100% agreed. Floyd has helped me a lot with my mixes. Thanks for posting! Take care. Greg

I've taken now several dB out of the dominant sax voice and put a little hall on the line, too.
Hopefully it's a bit better now, but I think the whole sax signal, that comes in, is too high.
Anyway, that's the best I can do so far.
I need much more knowlige on these things. smile

Yes, the loops are all from the new BIAB2015. I think they are great! My Problem is, starting with these things, you can't get enough. I mean, often I'm not having enough lines to put more loops under a title. (Or does BIAB allow more than the existing 7 lines?)
Here my Arrangement:
728 acoustic bass
1479 organ
real drums = JazzBrushes
Loop: acousticDrumsFullKit/funk Rock
Loop: HipHop/Old School
Loop: other/Human beatbox
Loop: House-Techno-Trance - ethnicgroove

If you want more "lines" then use RealBand. I don't use that myself but many on here do and they will give you good advice.

I cannot get the bomb bah bomba bomba, danga danga dang ding a ding dang, bit of the Marcels version out of my head now LOL

Nice job... great use of loops! BIAB styles are so good for jazz applications like your song, I would probably have taken the easy route and used a conventional style... but the fact that you went the extra mile and figured out how to use the loops is very cool!

The loops bring so many new possibilities to BIAB, I look forward to seeing how people use them going forward, and how they change the musical landscape in the forum as time progresses.

Nice playing! I always enjoy hearing users add a bit of themselves to their productions!

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
