If you like Pink Floyd, you may like this. This is an original song done by me..

This song came to be after I was doing some pedal shopping for my guitar. I started to run across some interesting videos on YouTube about ambient guitar and didn't realize how much of following this style has. So, I gave it that David Gilmour feel and ran with it.

Software wise, I used Real Band and MT Pro Drummer VST. I really didn't need to use a "style" or any accompaniment as I did all the work.

Everything was created just using my guitar and either pedals I have, or settings on my amp. I'll be happy to explain the breakdown, if anyone is interested.

Also, note, this is a real departure for me, as I usually just play blues.. lol

Music-AMG,

Nice! Really enjoyed the listen. Nice how the "listen focus" changes as it progresses. A lot of interesting tones happening along the way.

Good mix (The snare is a tad loud for this style of music... and I'm a loud-snare-kind-of-guy... that is a nice snare sound!).

Can tell you spent some time on this!

Nice work, although I thought the intro part was a little bit too long.
Very cool guitar playing!

Thanks for the feed back.. I kind of agree on the drums a little loud, but, it worked out.. I plan on redoing this again at a later time when I have better pedals. Imagine what a Mel9 pedal would do to this! lol

Actually, it didn't take that long at all to create. Real Band was very helpful in that regards as almost all of the song, not counting the intro or the lead part, are just loops that I recorded. The bass line is just the an octave lower of the flute/synth part at the end and again, just a loop. You don't really notice that till the synth starts..

Thanks.. yea, I think it is a little long too. In fact, I think the ending ended up being to long as well. The intro was done on a Peavey Vyper 1 and I used an Ernie Ball Volume pedal. The biggest problem was the delay and the trail off. It just wouldn't stop.. lol Now that I know what I am doing, it won't be as long. I'll be revisiting this at a later date..

It's a very cool vibe!! I think the intro is a bit long, and the other part is really sweet but I would add a change (modulation, and instrument change) for variety. Enjoyed! Take care. Greg

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
