Smooth Jazz (composer: Aleck Rand, guitar). Except for the guitar harmonizing with the alto sax melody (by RealTracks artist P.J. Perry), all the solos and comping were created from RealTracks. Smooth jazz monster Jeff Lorber comps and solos on electric piano, Brad Turner solos on trumpet with beautifully shaped ideas, and P.J. nails that smooth jazz alto sound.

Very nice track.
Like the chord progression. Your guitar is a nice touch.
You should watch your stereo panning.

Happy new year.

Aleck...I really liked this..please make sure to tell us which style you used...maybe the specific RT's. Great idea to let the RTs create the solo, then for you to double/harmonize behind them...definitely a pleasing sound...I agree with Guenter...you need to bring some of your sounds "up front" when they solo.

I listened to quite a few of your recordings and love the guitar tone and your phrasing. I would like to hear the guitar lead more in the center or at least a little closer to center stage.

Very nice indeed.

Later,

Very nice listen and use of RTs, but personally I would like to hear more of your lead guitar playing. You are a super player so let it shine through.


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.

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!

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."
