Hello. This is my latest song and it is out on Spofity from today. It's also on YouTube and all other places where music is put. https://open.spotify.com/track/5tgCSHMPOkiebBFFzb7Ahy?si=9cd4a02be3b04f86https://youtu.be/wDp8temT33MHere is the story how it is made: I wanted a latin style groove and had the idea to change between major and minor in feeling, and also change keys a few times. Actually there are four key changes in less than the two minutes the song last. I always try to keep everything around two minutes. The key changes are between A minor and C minor so even if it is three steps it fits well in harmony. I picked tempo 120 and style _GUAJIRA.STY which has some great musicians and groove. This is the ground verse. |a) Am7| D7| G7| CMaj7 E7| A7| D7| G7| CMaj7 Em7| |a) Am7...| Bm/A..| C/A| D/A...| FMaj7/A..d| G/A...d| E7| A7sus..d| After that I tried the funktion to create an Intro in Jazz style, 4 bars, and tried it several times until I found some cool chords I liked. Then I manually changed them three Keys so I got the first key change right after the intro. Next step was to pick BLUE and GREEN boxes for different groove. Then I used the very cool function CHORD OPTIONS and there put in some HOLD and SHOT chords. Sometimes with the exceptions for the drums. When I was happy with everything in BIAB I exported the instruments to Garageband using DAW. Then I started creating the melody on guitars. This time I kept all instruments, ofter times I play everything except the drums. Short about the mixing in Garageband I often put comp guitar and piano right and left around 35 and drums and bass in the middle. If I only play one guitar it's also in the middle but when I play two at at the same time I have them at 15 right and left. That's about it. To get it on Spotify I use Rotenote where I have put many songs now, alla short instrumental in blues, rock, jazz, latin etc. Remember to have a copyright free photo if you put songs there. Hope you enjoy and someone got inspiration and some ideas. Regards Sören Ahlbäck

Excellent use of BiaB, and explanation, Sören. Yep, it was a short tune and I played it twice --so far. Now I'm onto the rest of your tunes. Excellent throughout.

I also think you did some cool stuff here, especially the holds and shots work very well. I like it

The perfect combination of a Santana lead and some jazz style chord progressions.
Excellent masterpiece.
Outstanding guitar chops.
Outstanding chord progression.
Great mix.
I really liked this one.

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.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Appreciated!! The Santana feeling is somehow stock in the head since the 70s. I love his tone.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
