Ok its been a while in the making due to personal circumstances but I have now finished work on 11 new tracks and am in the mixing mastering stage. This time around I wanted to use Band in A Box to see what I could get out of it and do things differently to my normal way of working. As you may know I am a sax player but haven't played for the past 3 years properly and my playing is now somewhat low par, so i have been messing around with wind controllers of late. But this time I wanted to make a proper smooth jazz sax lead album and the synth saxes even the Sax brothers were not cutting it for me. So i decided to try something a little different. Work flow was thus: I created the chord structure in ez-keys to get the basis of the song outlined, I then exported to midi file and pulled that into BIAB. I had in mind the style of the song so auditioned a few styles till I found what I was looking for - I didn't want typical smooth jazz as wanted the song to be more rock based. After getting the style tweaked I set about "creating" the sax melody. This was created by using the real track sax soloists and creating multiple takes of the solo (sometimes 12-15). The remaining real tracks and solo takes was exported as wav files and brought into Logic ProX. Inside Logic I kept the real drums but added on top the great drummer track feature from logic and mixed the two together to get a more powerful and interesting drum sound. the solo tracks where staked and I made a composite track from parts of each take duplicating shifting an clipping to make a more melody than solo feel. Track was then mixed, in logic mastered in ozone as I would normally. And here are the results of the first finished track: Believe The remaining 10 tracks are created in the same way and whilst its a time consuming business I am happy with the results. So to sum up this is a complete band in a box track, using no "real live" instruments. Thanks Adrian

Very good job. This is an excellent mix and choice of style and instruments. That it is all BIAB is icing on the cake and is inspiring to know the high quality and capability of the program. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

Josie Great mix! I would not call your sax playing low par by any measure!

Josie Great mix! I would not call your sax playing low par by any measure! Thanks for the nice comments, the sax solos are not me playing they are Band in a box solos that I took mutiple takes of and spliced, chopped, copied, arranged to form melody lines rather than solo lines. Wish my playing was half up to this standard! Maybe one day I will get back to this standard.

Smooth sound.
I would like to know what RTs you used for the guitar solos.
That saying the sax is solo is well constructed.

Nice sounding stuff.
I saw your post on copyright and decided to see what you were talking about.
Nice sounding stuff. Guitar has sweet tone.
2:32 the notes are kinda off a bit.... I'd use a pitch corrector on a few of them.
