Very nice. The mix sounds great on my KRK's and the guitar work is stellar.

Welcome again Al!
Love everything about this track especially your guitar playing. But I must ad, and not that is will not stand on it's own, but this great melody is "crying" for a lyric.
Merry Christmas,

Danny,
We appreciate those kind words about the song. And yes, we've been told the same thing on a couple of other places we have posted this. If we don't come up with something lyrically, we're open to a collab! Thanks again...

Al here. Here is the info on the BIAB trax and my equipment settings:
MIDI 39/1 Synth Bass (warm) MIDI Rhodes Electric Piano (5) MIDI 54/1 Humming, MIDI Drums Standard Drum Kit (1) RealTracks Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Dreamy Ev 120 RealTracks Sax, Alto, Soloist JazzFunkGroovin Ev16 110
I am playing an Ibanez ARZ 400 Guitar thru a Peavey Nashville 112 Amp.
The distortion pedal is an el cheapo I bought locally for $39.00 - brand name is "Fab" but no model designation.
I am playing on the bridge P/U, tone about 75% treble and volume about 60% (the pickups are very hot)
The amp is set as follows:
Pre-Gain: 4 Low (Bass): +3 Mid: +6 Shift: 350 High (Treble) +4 Presence: +6 Master Reverb: 4 1/2 Master Gain: 5
The distortion pedal is set as follows (There are no numbers on the setting so I am indicating the percentage effect for each of the 3 settings:
Level: 50% Tone: 75% Distortion: 40%
Those setting may not be exact but are real close...it's been well over a year!
Hope that helps anyone who might be interested. And thanks again to everyone for your interests in our music.
Al & Di

Nice work Al, anything that smacks of Sade does it for me, I simply love those grooves. ('Smooth Operator' is the first song in my band's first set.) Your guitar work is just right and fits beautifully. A smooth production all round, very enjoyable. Please come again and bring more musical gifts like this! John

John,
Thanks a bunch! And yes, my wife loves to swing "Smooth Operator". We have a cut of it somewhere but we're not using BIAB trax so I doubt it's appropriate to post a link to it here. I believe this forum is only for links to songs containing at least a few BIAB trax.
We certainly appreciate your kind words. love your screen name, too!
Merry Christmas!
Al & Di

We're doing our best to get over to hear everyone who has commented. It might take a short while with the holidays at hand. But we will eventually get to everyone...we promise!
Merry Christmas to all!!!

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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
