This is something I worked on this week. I used Band in a Box to give me a chord progression then I decided on a style. Once I had that set up, I wrote a melody to fit the style (and my mood at the time). The end result is this.

The style is _SOLFUNK.sty with all RealTracks. The melody is a voice from Embertone's Arcane which was a freebie a few Halloweens ago. The voice is in fact a diminutive version of the Realivox Blue which I would love to own (been saving my pennies).

I hope you enjoy IMAGINED

Rich,

I enjoyed this... it's really well put together. I'd love to be able to play the sax. It's such a great instrument.

Regards,
Noel

Thank you Noel. The performers that do the RealTracks solos are excellent and BiaB has gotten pretty good at making them sound very good in a mix.

Rich,

Very enjoyable. The voice (I have to investigate - its following a midi melody?) and sax are very cool together.
Nice production on this all round.

"I have to investigate - its following a midi melody?"


Yes, the midi melody is being used. The voice is sampled by pitch and follows the melody. This particular sampled voice is controlled by Kontakt Player.

Well done....it actually sounds like some musicians who've been playing together for a while.

Great sax.

We enjoyed the spin!

Thank you for the comments. With a little (and I do mean little) engineering it is quite easy to make a mix sound good with BiaB as the basis of the mix.

Thoroughly enjoyed this.

A really captivating melodic progression, and the choice of styles was excellent.

The sax fill came as a surprise, but fitted in nicely.

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."
