Dawn

Dawn starts very slowly, develops fully then fades away as it transforms into morning.

Finally after a couple of very trying months I now have my upgraded music computer running on Win 10. The problems started with two 2-gig DOA HDs. I'm still having an USB shut down problem, along with a lot of people, but mostly everything is working correctly.

Anyway JonD started the song and together we finished it.

BiaB Style = New Age Piano, w/Crickets_loop
Pesticide got rid of the crickets and we deleted all but the strings, which were modified and turned into pads.

JonD is playing the music box and piano via his keyboard controller.

I am playing the shepherd's flute via my wind controller and the harp, vocal and strings via my keyboard controller.

Let me know what you think.


I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

You Windows folk's have the patience of Job smile

This was a lovely way to sit down this morning for some forum listening. I stared out the window into the woods as it was playing. Beautiful. I love the way you set up the mood with your one sentence descriptions! Great playing and production.

Really nice and I will soon get Janice to listen.

Hey Mario,

I Like it! Any time I've ever experimented with NewAge music my efforts have resulted in a boring and redundant mix... but you have done a great job of changing things up the whole time to keep it fresh from start to finish.

I like the fact that so much of this is your own playing!

Tell me more about your 'USB shut down" problem... my newest computer (the only one I've put win 10 on, but it was doing it even when it was still win 8) doesn't cooperate with my Focusrite interface at all, and seems to disconnect my focusrite any time the OS polls the USB drives. Is that what you're talking about? or something else?

Very enjoyable listen.

Mario/Jon

A terrific listen. Y'all do this as well as the people who are selling...

(whatever you used for the piano is not up to the standard of all the other instruments...it sounded like "small sample" piano).

Nice.

Well Mario, this is definitely one of your best.
Very atmospheric indeed!
About Windows 10: I tried it too, but went back to Windows 7 and immediately all the problems vanished into thin air.

I want to thank all that has listened and left those wonderful comments. I will show these to JonD. Now that will be very easy as JonD has just moved just 4 houses away from me!

[edit] Pat you have a PM.

I love every 'Dawn' I come across. From my friend in elementary school to the beautiful new creation I see every morning.

This beautiful tune is right up there with them all.

Spectacular performance.


PS: I have a young friend that's very into pan pipes and flutes and is building his own from bamboo. He will be very interested hearing this piece.

Very nice listening.

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."
