Hello, Everybody,

Do you like Latin Music?
Last year, I've created a CD of ballroom dancing requested by a dance school of my acquaintance.
The Title of the CD is “Fascinating Social Dance Music” which contains 16 songs of various dance styles, such as Waltz, Tango, Quickstep, Foxtrot, Jive, Samba, Rumba, Cha-Cha, Paso Double and so on.
To write those songs, I thankfully used Band in a Box including every music styles.
I will introduce you a Salsa song from the CD.

Title: カリブの誘惑 (Translation: Temptation of the Caribbean)
Vocal: Natsuki Yoshikawa, a jazz singer from my hometown.
Played with Piano Trio, Bandoneon and 4 part strings.
Style is _L_MAMBO.STY
Style Instruments are :
RealTracks in style: :Bass, Acoustic, Mambo Ev 150
RealTracks in style: :Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Mambo Ev 150
RealDrums in Style: Mambo^1-Sticks,RideClassic

Hello again, Shigeki Adachi.

I really enjoyed listening to this composition. You're a very talented musician. This does not sound like Band In A Box at all.

Also, I love the singer. Such a great voice.

I looking forward to what you plan to post next time. So far it's two great songs out of two great songs!

All the best,
Noel

Shigeki, very nice composition. I especially enjoyed the haunting strings as they weave their way through the song. Well done.

Hello, Noel, Guenter, Patrick, Pradon, Janice & Bud, Alyn and everybody,
Thank you very much for your warm comments.
I am really happy to hear from you.

I sometimes sing myself, but am not a good singer and I’m male.
So I like better my songs to be sung by female singers.
I would like to post my music again.
Thank you

Shigeki Adachi

Hi Shigeki, great song and production. I'm not surprised by the salsa vibe and Japanese language, I know that there was a big salsa movement in Japan years ago, being La Orquesta de la Luz band one of my favorites. Looking forward to more from you.

Mike B.

Revisit: Eyes on Success featuring PG Music Inc., Band-in-a-Box®, and the Updated JAWS Script

In the past, Eyes on Success featured an episode that discussed our company history and Band-in-a-Box® program with Tobin, our chief development officer, including how Band-in-a-Box® is even more accessible with the help of their JAWS screen reader scripts!

Later on this month, Eyes on Success will be releasing an episode that features Gudrun Brunot talking about her new tutorials about how to use Band-in-a-Box® with JAWS.

It's a great idea to pair the two episodes together!

So, while waiting for their Gudrun Brunot episode, take 30 minutes and to listen to this episode from Eyes on Success. To download and listen to the podcast, use the link www.EyesOnSuccess.net/eos_2344_podcast.mp3

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks

MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:

There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:

1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track

Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2023 for Windows is Overflowing with Features!

Dennis posted his very thorough Band-in-a-Box® review recently, where he dives into some of the new features added with version 2023: Sound-Guy's Band-in-a-Box Review

Read his thoughts on the Download & Install Manager, partial track regeneration, Playable RealTracks, Audio Editing, the addition of SynthMaster, the VST DAW Plugin, and more!

"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is, without negative connotation, a monster of a program. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. No DAW can do some of the things BIAB does, while BIAB can do a lot that DAWs do."
