I have been doing some experimenting with Realband and find it very interesting. Compared to most of you, I'm not a pro musician, just an old geezer having fun. What I like to do best is to compose complete tunes using only Band in a Box and Realband. I find that there seems to be no limit to what you can do if you put some work in it. Here is a nice example of a complete jazz tune that you could hear in a smoky night club. If you like it, I could post other examples that are completely different. I have some nice blues to show off. I also have some tunes that use a combination of Realtracks and MIDI on my Sonic Cell. Thanks for any comment. Here is the tune:

Mike, I enjoyed it. You may want to try a couple of things. You might want to get rid of the lead in clicks unless you intended to keep them in there. Also try lowering the volume on the sax just a little bit and add more reverb to it to move it back in the mix a little.

HI Mike, Had trouble accessing the URL.
Hi guys. The URL works fine here. Don't know what's wrong. Sorry. I'll try to find another place to post my songs. Thanks.
Mike.
Well done. Are you playing the sax? (es)?
Hi John. To answer simply, the last time I ever played something was 46 years ago when I played the trumpet in a marching band. In this song, everything was played with Realtracks but it did necessitate some work on my part. I'm going to post some songs that are quite different to show what Realtracks can really do. I get my fun in trying to build bands out of the offered Realtracks. Sometimes it clicks fine but other times, it's horrible. Thanks for your interest.
Mike.
