An adaption of Claude Debussy's Claire de Lune.
Couldn't find any Realtrack for the Solo part that really fit my wishes.
So I made the piano part, in the end doubled by trombone and synth by myself.
Used RealTracks:
RealDrums-JazzFunkGroovin^1-HHSdStk,HHSnr
RT1639_Piano,El,JzFunkBreezy Ev75
RT831_Piano,Ak,Solo,PopWaltz Sw85_0.WAV
Enjoy.

I totally agree with Alyn.

Excellent rendition!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Thank you all for your nice comments.

I have replaced it by a new version. I left out the experiments with the time changes in the beginning to make it better consumable. It's a little shorter now.
And I had crackles in the bass. I could get rid of them by accepting the option "Inform plug-ins of offline rendering state" in the vst preferences of Reaper.
Last but not least I finally switched off the foot pedal in the piano in the second half which I had forgotten.

Very, very nice. I loved the doubled fretless bass. Pretty amazing, actually. I find the piece reminiscent of Chuck Mangione's treatment of "Ave Maria," which, if you enjoyed this, you might want to look up. (I checked youtube and didn't find it, alas.)

nice work, Guenter!

My only negative observation is more of a MIDI pet-peeve thing than it is a criticism of your work... one of the quirks about MIDI strings is the way a patch gets regenerated at chord changes.

When a MIDI patch is regenerated it creates an abrupt sound that simply would not be made by skilled musicians using good bowing technique. Some of the newer string sample libraries have intelligence built-in to continue the bowed sound at a new pitch without retriggering the patch, and it sounds more realistic. There are other tricks people use to smooth out the string transitions, but most of the workarounds end up sounding fake for other reasons.

But, none of that is your fault. What you did sounds great! I agree with all of the favorable comments above! Keep up the good work, and thanks for posting!

You're right, Pat.
Hollywood Strings by Soundsonline might do that. But it's my hobby and I haven't got nearly € 800 just for the strings.

I thought all entries here had to be originals?

Are 'out of copyright' allowed?

Are tradiitonal songs allowed?

Thanks.

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
