Very cool collab everyone. A gibsonisation and and Josie C- section. Now that is a unique subject and a unique production. That sure is a lot of real tracks. Very very entertaining. A very creative effort by all three. Tom Thanks for listening and the praise. As I wrote in my reply to floyd I used snippets from them all as samples, only a few ran continuously. I just sorta got carried away Alyn

Interesting topic and nicely done. Thought the harmonica fits really well. Bu the stand out was the vocal phrasing - getting those words to fit Alyn was very clever. Thanks Peter, You mentioned the 2 parts that were time consuming, going through the harmonica RT to get the rhythm right drove me mad! I practice singing every song I do as I write them in BIAB so I soon noticed the bits that needed to be worked on. The hard part with the words was not tripping up on them. Thanks for listening Alyn

Hey team.
Great rolling backing with excellent vocals and a super video.
Never heard of train surfing but it sounds like fun.
Can't wait to try it.
ROG. Train surfing cetainly beats the British sport of folding neatly one's copy of the Financial Times, looking at one's watch and tutting when the train is yet again delayed because of the "wrong type of rain" glad you enjoyed Alyn

Hi Alyn, I really like what you've done with Peter's poem. It's excellent. The phrase 'hiphip alla gibson' springs to mind Hmm... that looks good in the instruction area above the stave. There's nothing like a bit of Italian music terminology to add a touch of class... Seriously, though, you and Joanne have done a really awesome job with this audio and video. Top notch all the way! All the best, Noel

Alyn/Joanne/Peter -
Cool project. Watching those guys scared the hell outta me...
An interesting subject to write a song about. Both the music and the lyric had a "dangerous train" kind of feel to them.
Alyn - I don't think you used enough RealTracks... nice job on the vocal! All mixed together well...
The BGVs were cool!
Cool stuff.
floytd Yeah, I'm down with floyd...that paucity of tracks is really notable Y'all have fertile imaginations that go waaaaaaay beyond my more pedestrian approach to writing. Other than the aforementioned virtual lack of RT's we most enjoyed this entire production including the video. Again, as mr jane alluded to .... dark and scary. Assuredly interesting and enjoyable! J&B

Hi Alyn, Joanne and Peter,
what a great collab! A very interesting topic. The music transports that "rhythmic danger" very well. Very interesting arrangement. Liked the vocals and the background vocals.
Guenter Thanks Guenter, I spent a lot of time trying to achieve that train rhythm; wasn't too happy with the result ,but gald it worked Alyn

Smiled all the way through this song. Very original idea. Most entertaining. I do hear a touch of Trex Im sure. Rob Cheers Rob, Not too sure what you mean by Trex. I assume you mean Marc Bolan not the largest land carnivore of all time, so I take that as a compliment, Thanks Alyn

J&B I did wonder if there were enough RTs I didn't realise how few many I had actually used. So glad you-all enjoyed this, wouldn't this forum be so boring if we all posted similar style songs, And it certainly shows what a great program BIAB can be. Thanks from Joanne, Peter and me for the nice comments Alyn

Well now ...
That was really different, but in a good way. That repetitive rhythm was like a "drone of death" in my ears, which is very effective for the song. Loved the video ... pretty scare what they do!
And holy smokes ... that's a mouthful of words! Very creative and well-done ... great listen! Congrats to all three of you!

Alan Thanks Al, I tried to make the rhythm a bit edgy so and glad it worked. Yup, those words brought back the memories of my speech impediment when I was a kid and proved I had definitely overcome that p-problem All the best Alyn

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."
