Frank,
Another great one. Keep it up, man! (glad you came back!)
Nice chord progression. Terrific mix - at various times each instrument caught my attention but was still "a part of the whole".
Nice job on that viola. The fingerpick guitar sounds better than I've ever heard anyone make it sound!
It's so good, I wanted the choir to be real.
Keep 'em coming!

Frank,
I'm having trouble today getting the song to play... but I did get it to play once yesterday so I'll have to review from memory.
Once againg you've done a great job of creating a very relaxing bit of music... exactly the kind I like to listen to while winding down after work.
I like the way you keep it interesting by introducing new instruments and sound textures throughout the song. You've got quite a collection of songs now and I hope you have success in marketing them.

Floyd,Again, very generous with your compliments. This "music" is different, obviously. Listen to a lot of YouTube artists for this genre. One of their video's had similar country-folk backing, so gave it a whirl. The setups for VSTi's are outstanding in BIAB, was lucky enough to get DIM PRO. There is light Reverb on the guitars. Did many "final's" before the balance was decent. Sometimes the instrument mix levels tend to fight one another. Also YA THINK maybe the outstanding RealTracks might have helped a bit... The viola in Rapture FilmScore pak was a new purchase about 3 weeks ago. First time auditioned was day before yesterday. Again thank you! Pat,I have downloaded it several times using Firefox, and it seems to work OK. The file is larger due to 320 Kbps. Cool part of this music is only the Great BIAB realtracks style playing alone sounds good. We are so lucky to have these tools available to improve the music. After listening to many YT artist's the changes are a necessary part of the music. Its interesting you mention Textures. There are several "Texture" folders with the synth's not used yet. More to learn. Regarding Sales, am very realistic in this regards. Creating decent music and have some folks enjoy it is the primary goal, also bit of legacy. As mentioned in information in another posting...when a very famous rock group only gets $5000 from millions of plays.   Would be neat to have someone use it though. Thanks Pat!

gruverider,
Different a bit, modeled style on song listened to on YT, was surprised how well their music sounded with touch of folk/country.
Thank you.
Guenter,
Want so bad to learn vocaloid, but do not want to spend time on that right not.
Its sounds in your music would be a big plus in this type of music.
RT's are such a blessing for us all to use.
Thanks.
Josie,
No, did not know that, just want decent relaxing easy to listen to music.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Man, is it every easy to apply personal imagery to that. Me? I'm watching the shadows of clouds moving through a valley. I know it was a lot of effort and I'm glad you gave us a chance to listen!

Bud & Janice,
That is a great compliment for me, imagination and its journeys.
99% of the work is fun, the last end tweaking gets harder.
My pleasure to share!
Thanks for your generous compliments.

FrankB,
Your getting a big response from the Forumites for good reason. This is beautiful! I really enjoyed it.
I'd call the genre New Age, but I'm never hung-up on labels.
Looking forward to the video.

#TBT Band-in-a-Box® 2017
Three years ago we were just rounding up our BETA testers to help finish up the testing of our Band-in-a-Box® 2017 for Mac!
With that version, we redesigned the main screen GUI, added support for popular .SFZ sound format as well as PG Music’s Hi-Q sounds (sforzando SFZ Synth.), added Natural Arrangements options and Hi-Q Guitar RealCharts, applied many, many, many enhancements to the existing powerful program features, and more! Read all about Band-in-a-Box® 2017 here.
Now, three years later, we're thrilled to say that we're already done BETA testing, and weeks into the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Mac release! Of course, that means we're having a SALE on Upgrade packages, but only until April 30th!
Band-in-a-Box® - Trombone RealTracks!
Welcome to the Team David!
We are thrilled to say that we've added David to our Customer Service Team here at PG Music!
You may have already noticed him - he's already made his appearance here on the Forums, chiming in with assistance and User Showcase Song Feedback.
Welcome to the team David!
Updated Song Titles Browser in Band-in-a-Box® 2020!
If you're looking for a Band-in-a-Box® Style in the feel of a familiar/popular song title, then the Song Titles Browser option in the Band-in-a-Box® StylePicker is the perfect feature for you!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2020, we’ve added 3,400 more song titles including requests from users, so there are now 14,000 titles to search from!
Just type in a familiar song title or artist name - once you have found the song, press the [OK - Find Matching Styles] button. This will take you to the StylePicker window with styles that best match the tempo, feel, and genre of the selected song title.
Didn't find the song you were searching for? Post your title request to our Wishlist forum: Songs to add to Band-in-a-Box Titles database - we think that the 3,400 new titles added with Version 2020 is proof that we're paying attention!
Learn more about the different features of the Band-in-a-Box® StylePicker here.
SongPicker Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Mac!
The Band-in-a-Box® SongPicker has been enhanced with our newest 2020 version!
The SongPicker now builds faster for large song lists (>30K and up to 60,000 songs). The [Song] button (or the [Open] button) now has 3 additional menu items to launch the SongPicker.
- Open SongPicker in Current Folder: This opens the SongPicker in the current folder of the last loaded song.
- Open SongPicker in Home Folder: This opens the SongPicker in the home folder, which is Applications/Band-in-a-Box/MySongs or as set in the SongPicker.
- Open SongPicker in Favorite Folder: This launches the Favorite Folder dialog which allows you to choose any previously used folder where a song was loaded from, and then open the SongPicker in that folder.
In the SongPicker, there is a new “Open in Home” option. If this is enabled, the SongPicker will always open in the home folder instead of the current folder when you press the default [Song] button to open the SongPicker.
Searching for songs matching a chord progression or melody has been enhanced. There are three new checkboxes: "Key must match exactly," "Chord Extension must match exactly", and "Time Signature must match."
Click here to jump to the SongPicker subject in our New Features video to learn more. (32:11)
(read more about this feature in our Band-in-a-Box 2020 for Mac Online Upgrade Manual.)
