Hello there!

I'm a new (Jan '14) owner of Band In A Box, and I've been lurking here for the last couple of months learning and seeking answers. I'd like to thank you all for being so helpful even though this is our first communication. The search function has been my good friend as of late.

"Fuzzy Cat" is my second ever Band In A Box creation. It uses a style called "J!TRAD.STY". BB substituted Real Drums in and I replaced the banjo track with a Real Track called "Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Freddie Sw 140". These are the only BB parts I used. The rest of the parts were played on my EWIUSB using a VST called WIVI Band.

Thanks for listening, and nice to meet you all.

Dan,

Welcome.

What a fun song, very enjoyable. I used to regularily go to a Jazz club in Putney, South London UK that had the greats playing music like this, Your playing would have fitted in perfectly with that band.
I am dancing like Baloo the bear to this.

2nd song eh
I look forward to more.

Dan, Welcome aboard. Nice dixieland chops. Very well produced. I enjoyed it. Look forward to hearing more. Tom

This song puts me on the streets of Nawlons, great work, welcome to the site; Thanks for sharing!

Dan - sounds great. Impressive job with the wind controller! - floyd

Good ole Soundcloud again. I can play anybody's song from there including all of mine....but not yours. I'll check back.

Working for us, maybe just a short-term outage?

Dan, what great Trad Technique. This is a fantastic demonstration of creativity. Enjoyed it from the first note to the very last. Thanks for sharing this with us.

This is great!!!! I haven't heard anything like this on this forum. It was so relaxing and clear. I really like Dixieland jazz and you did a great job. Thanks occ

Dan...

Hi Dan,

You must be a very very experienced man at playing trad jazz. This is AWESOME+ !!!!! The melodies and the counter-melodies you weave throughout the mix show some gold-medal musicianship.

I don't remember hearing this standard of trad jazz on the forum before. All I can say is ...



Welcome aboard!

Hi Dan
Can I just join in with "Welcome to the forum" and very well done on your first BIAB composition. I enjoyed the listen very much.

Hello everyone!

I'd like to thank everyone for the warm welcomes. Thanks also for having a listen and leaving a comment. Your time and input is much appreciated.

I also forgot to mention in my original post that the mixing and MIDI recording was done in Reaper. I was very surprised and pleased when I found out I could drag tracks straight from Band In A Box into Reaper. An awesome capability, indeed.


Thanks for listening,
Dan

Nicely done!! Just feels good! Take care. Greg

Thanks very much, Greg!


Dan

love jazz, good post!
