What You Desire
Hi all,

this time I chose a remix contest where the original song is so good I couldn’t make it better only different. (Original song: https://soundcloud.com/jodivalentin/what-you-desire )
I used the vocals, background vocals and one guitar track. Then added some Kontakt 5 choir and following RTs:
RealDrums-NashvilleEven8^1-SideStick,Ride
RealDrums-UrbanPopEv16CitySlick^1-Clap,Kck
RT1636_Bass, Electric, JazzFunkBreezy Ev16 075
RT2291_ Horn Section, Rhythm SlowPopPads Ev16 065

RT1448_Fiddle, Soloist GypsyJazzLatin Ev 165
RT1706_Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryBrent Ev 085 (Bluesy)

I hope you have fun with it.

I have to disagree with you Guenter-yours is definitely better than the original!! Love the interplay between the melody and solo instruments, particularly the horns. Beautifully put together. You are the master of this domain!! Take care. Greg

Hi Guenter,

You sure added dynamics to the original version.
Talking about original, adding the horn section here really was a cool move!
Great work!

Hi Guenter,
To these ears you have turned a great vocal with a so-so backing track into something warmer,subtler & sexier - love the gypsy violin cameo.

As usual very clever and impressive. I liked the trombone - was a nice touch.
(Really enjoyed the comments on the "silent" mix in case you missed them)

When you put a “REALLY” good voice together with a man who can make such a classical arrangement and have the skill to combine it, you have what is here “ MAGIC” good show Boehm

Superb, sophisticated arrangement that was perfect for the vocalist. Enjoyed this from start to finish.

We listened to the original, then yours and then the original again.

We think RnAM stated our feelings very well by singling out the dynamics
and the horns for praise in your arrangement.

The arrangement for the original was at times a wee bit too much "in your face" for us.
But it is certainly a strong arrangement. We're sure you were challenged
given that but we sincerely feel that for our tastes your arrangement is the better.

Heckuva vocalist.

Congrats on a great remix.

Guenter,

Another amazing transformation.

I bounced around the other submissions - played about 20 of them for short periods. All the ones I heard did a good job. It was as if the vocal was SO good it was impossible to mess it up. A good variety of styles, too.

Once again, when I get to your version (save the best for last), it is so pleasingly different than any others. It breathes.

The trombone was a nice start. The gypsy fiddle gave it a new voice. And then the Brent country guitar took it somewhere else - nice job of tucking that guitar in. I really liked the addition of the UrbanPopEv16CitySlick^1-Clap at the end! (I need to remember that!)

Nice that Jodi gave you a "Like". (The girl can sing!)

Winner.

Guenter, This is a great combination of real tracks, Trombone, horn section, fiddle and guitar. Works so well together. A beautiful mix. Absolute excellence all around. Tom

Guenter,

I agree that the original is sooo good that you faced an uphill climb to improve on it... but DANG, you sure duplicated its excellence, but in a different direction

It's interesting to read the various observations about relative quality between the versions... taste is so subjective, and nobody in these contests seems to be a newbie making obvious errors in technical proficiency.

One thing is for sure: including professional content elevates the whole project. Her singing is so good, as floyd said, that it would be hard to screw it up (but easy to benefit from the quality it brings to whatever you choose to add)

In your case, what you added is also very pro quality in terms of everything, so when you hear the sum of its parts, WOW

You really are the remix master.

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."

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
