#304906 - 08/01/15 10:38 AM [User Showcase] Hoping For The Best <-- New instrumental composition
Registered: 07/04/08 Posts: 31 Loc: Gatineau, QC, Canada DavidL Enthusiast Registered: 07/04/08 Posts: 31 Loc: Gatineau, QC, Canada	When you're feeling nervous about an upcoming significant event (an exam, a job interview, a presentation, a tournament, a recital, a first date, etc.) for which you can't prepare yourself any more than you already have, you have reached a point where all you can do is hope for the best! Since my composition method is somewhat experimental, "Hoping For The Best" is also my motto when I start working on a new piece. https://soundcloud.com/david-laprise/hoping-for-the-best-1 Title: Hoping for the Best Key=D , Tempo 107, Length (m:s)=3:59 8 bar intro, 32 bar chorus, from bar 9 to bar 40.

Great arrangement. Hope you'll do some more songs, should be interesting listening. _________________________ Jim Fogle - 2020 BiaB (734) RB (Build 5) Ultra+ PAK Cakewalk - Zoom MRS-8 recorder Desktop: i7 Win 10 build 2004, 12GB ram 256GB SSD, 4 TB HDD Laptop: i3 64bit Win 10 build 2004, 8GB ram 500GB HDD Music at: http://fogle622.wix.com/fogle622-audio-home

I think this track is pretty cool, and bounces along with a little bit of New Orleans style in there. I would love to hear more of your 'experimental' approach! -MWG _________________________ - MWG http://www.mwgilbert.com

Upgrading to Band-in-a-Box® 2020 is Easy!

Did you know... anyone who has owned a previous version of Band-in-a-Box® is entitle to upgrade pricing - you do not need to have your old version installed!

Maybe you used to own the Windows version, but you now have a Mac... that's not a problem either!
(or if you owned the Mac version, and now you have a Windows computer)

In both cases, you would purchase from the "Upgrade from 2018 or earlier or crossgrade" row here for a new Mac version, or here if you want the newest Windows version. Just need to upgrade your 2019 version? Use the "Upgrade from 2019/2020" row.

When you purchase your upgrade from either of these rows, you will receive a complete installation - just follow the steps of the setup, and your Band-in-a-Box® will be ready to use!

PG Music Inc. shopping cart accounts were not required to purchase from our website prior to October 29, 2014. With that in mind, you may have to create an account in order to upgrade - that's OK! You'll still be entitled to upgrade pricing.
