+++ THIS +++ is a loose interpretation of Dust In The Wind that I call Dusty Wind.

I used some audio loops from Acoustic Sessions by Producer Planet and RealTracks and RealDrums listed in the screen shot below. I used V3 of the Band-in-a-Box PlugIn in Cakewalk by Bandlab.

Jim,
Solid bed for acoustic pop rock tune. I like the mood change at 1:12. I think electric guitar parts can come up a bit. Clear mix & listens well. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Hello Jim ...

Always great to hear a new post from you - they're kind of scarce!

Super clean, well-mixed piece. A nice, easy and very pleasant listen! Can't find a thing to gripe about - nada!

Cool song!

Take care & Merry Christmas ...

Alan

Hello Jim, nice full acoustic on this song!
I agree with Stefan, this songs neeeeeds vocals.
And I also agree with Misha, pullup the electric guitar as well, exept for the last beat.

So, very nicely done. I enjoyed it,
Hans

Yeah, dust in the wind. This is like after the dust clears this mix is so good. And, yes, I too can hear 3-part harmony voices. Really well done, Jim.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Great to hear one from you Jim!

First, forgive me please but I must confess that Dust was the first song I had to learn in fingerpicking guitar lessons in Nashville and man how I hated it at the time. LOL!
Your loosely based version is much prettier and not nearly as depressing.
Enjoyed it very much.

Very well put together and mixed!! Nice, emotional tune.....I can hear the influence of the original but would not have made the comparison if I wasn't listening for it. Come around more often! Merry Xmas!! Take care. Greg

I think this might be the first song I've heard from you, Jim!

Nice arrangement, hints at the original but takes it to a new place.

Enjoyed, well done!

That sounds good Jim!
Just enough slight chord variations and rhythmic differences to make it your own! Take care, Torrey

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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.

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."
