This is a light remix of the track posted on 1st June 23 as the 2nd track in my original "Aya Rocks" YT video, this remix being posted on YT on 15th August 23. Long untitled, the original version of what is now "Aya Rocks V1" was my very first experiment in composing in Band-in-a-Box ~ rather than just creating rhythm tracks for songs I wrote in the 70s and 80s, which is why I bought BIAB in 2021 yet barely used it ~ and I began by just using 2 opening chords from one of my first 1969 songs, then I just let the flow take me.

Uplifting and enjoyable, I particularly like the piano, has a Bob Seger piano vibe.
Great job.

Thanks for your very positive response, Bass Thumper.
I almost lost that piano sample when I accidentally deleted a file and I'd not frozen the tracks, thus when I tried for a new sample the regenerations weren't nearly as good. I now can't recall how I got the original back - I must have had a copy I'd forgotten about - but it's real magic when the samples come together!

WaoBand,
Solid pop arrangement, good choice of instruments. Listens well.
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

WaoBand,
Super groove.
Great use of RTs.
Great mix.
This sounds like a live jam; great job on that.

Thanks Misha! Apol0gies for the delay in replying!

Thanks Mario! One of the things that really impresses me about BiaB is that when the samples come together anyone unfamiliar with the program wouldn't know that it wasn't a real band playing.

cool instrumental. It does have a Bob Seger vibe to it in the beginning.

Thanks Guitarhacker. I wasn't familiar with Bob Seger, but I've listened to some of his music now and you're right about the feel, as a previous commenter also mentioned.
