Hi all. Here's a nice downbeat blues for you,I used the 12/8 Blues RT set and added the RT blues guitar solo,but played the piano part myself,and I think it came out well,I used Arturia Piano for the piano part.
"Downbeat" is a bit too tame to describe your composition, "Slumping Blues". More like beat-down, I'd say, meaning there's some serious, end-of-the-world type blues heat rising from it.
From its dangerously minor key, to its slow, stalking rhythm and "wildman" guitar solo, it's definitely the kind of blues performance that could start a torrid affair, or maybe even a good, bare-knuckled bar fight !!!
I've listened to it three times, now, but I've got to cut it loose, because it makes me want to smoke a cigarette, and I'm trying to quit...
What's next from you?
LOREN

Well that was an interesting review Loren! One of the most entertaining and unusual ones I've ever had,thanks for that,glad you enjoyed the track,wont be decking anyone in the Castros VI bar next time I'm there,unless there's some Tellarite creeps in there! R.
Watching that beloved and inspiring clip from the original "Star Wars" movie just might prevent a dyed-in-the-wool nicotine addict such as m'self from lighting-up again!
Thanks for the entertaining encouragement...

Hi Loren. Great,hope you like what you hear,be nice if we could chat by email or something when you have time,I think we share a few interests,music sci-fi etc,I think it would be fun. R.
I've been browsing your "song bank" on SoundCloud, listening to each song one-at-a-time.
My first impression is that you are a "serious" musician! Also, I encountered some interesting musical surprises in certain songs that I would like to follow-up on with you.
Sundays and Mondays are my "off-days" from work, so I will contact you during that time to share my feedback about your compositions.
Thanks for your patience!
Sincerely,
LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage")

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
