Hey guys, I picked up a Yamaha WX5E midi wind controller about a month ago and decided to compose a tune using it. It's sort of a smooth jazz tune. I recorded both melodyA and melodyB into BIAb using the WX5E. Tried recording the solos as well, but not good enough on the instrument yet so generated RT solos instead. The tune is called Clouds In My Coffee. It's in the key of E Minor. The form is. Intro, AABA, Solos, B, then B transposed up a half step then an 8 bar ending. I hope you like it.

Tim, I really like this. I adore Sade so the style gave me tingles straight away! Love the vocal oohs, the cool key change, and, well everything else really! Beautifuly arranged and recorded. Top notch. Just playing it for the fourth time... John

Thanks for that one! You had me sitting on the beach at Laguna, sipping a cold martini and watching the waves roll in. Cool jazz.

GREAT SONG!
Super wind controller!
Two thumbs up.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.

I sit and program all day long…( the Paying Job..lol) and while I do that I listen to this type of music on smoothjazz.com Very, Very Nice. You need to submit some of your work (this one ).. to smoothjazz.com and get streaming air play. It’s just a matter of submitting a marketing kit… http://smoothjazz.com/marketing/So when is the CD Version coming out that I can buy….with your greatest hits? Nice Song...

Paul,
Thank you much for your comments. I'm a computer programmer myself. I'm pretty much retired, but still do part time programming for the company my wife works for.
Thanks, I'll check out SmoothJazz.com.

Hey thanks man for giving this one another listen.
I'm practicing every day. BIAB is great for helping me do that.
I wish I'd had this program back in the day when I was a music student.

Now this is artfully constructed indeed I really like the ‘A’ chord sequence and the keys patch at 1:45 Would have liked something a bit more insistent in the perc. track (yes even the dreaded cowbell) Personally, I don’t much like the oohs and aahs Maybe the key change could be better exploited (say a little run to take it up to the lead note in the ‘B’ melody) Also the ending is maybe a bit odd. It ends just when you think its taking off again! So in answer to your question, Tim Quote:
I hope you like it.
I most cetainly do. - had me reaching for my white suit!!
regards,
Marc

Hi Marc,
Thank you for listening and your constructive comments.
I agree it should have gone on longer. I kind of just ran out of steam with this one and ended it.

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."
