Hi all. Here's my entry for the Jazz category, using the _Equator style. Here's the link: https://soundcloud.com/user-642613970/saguarosThis is an instrumental tune. I'm playing clarinet, all else is from the style, and the violin is a soloist. I am continually fascinated by the Saguaros here in Tucson, and this tune was inspired by those crazy cacti. I used Logic X to put it together. I'd appreciate any and all comments; I'm very new at using Logic! Here's the information from the song memo: Title: Saguaros Key=G , Tempo 140, Length (m:s)=5:47 8 bar intro, 48 bar chorus, from bar 9 to bar 56. Repeat x4 choruses Soloist track has 260 notes, Soloist harmony is <no harmony> Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Style is _EQUATOR.STY RealTracks in style: 2284:Bass, Acoustic, BossaRon Ev 140 RealTracks in style: ~2288:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm BossaKenny Ev 140 RealTracks in style: ~1216:Vibes, Rhythm Bossa Ev 140 RealTracks in style: 1856:Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085 RealDrums: RealDrums in Style: BossaBrushesFull^1-a:Sidestick, Brushes , b:Sidestick, Ride Thank you.

SaxMarc
I really like the smooth style you captured here, the choice of real track styles is perfect.
Nice job, for sure.

Marc,
I agree with Videotrack... very smooth indeed. Great clarinet playing! I thoroughly enjoyed it. When I looked up what a Saguaros cactus looked like, I realised that I've seem them many times in movies over the years... just never knew their proper name!
All the best,
Noel

Very nice tune.
It would be great to hear a version with your clarinet a bit closer and more present. It sounds like it is way across the room. Is the original audio that way or have you got some reverb on the track that you could pull back? I'd love to hear a mix with the clarinet right up close (or even just a little bit less distant)... though the way you've got it is growing on me with subsequent listens.
Your playing perfectly suits the song and is well composed and performed.

Band-in-a-Box® Features List!
Every version release of Band-in-a-Box® adds loads of new features and enhancements to the program, which we're sure can sometimes get "lost" in your knowledge of the program's capabilities.
Looking to learn about new features with a specific release? It's actually really easy to locate this information!
Learn tips on the new version (2019) by visiting Help | Tip of the Day and placing a check mark next to "Only Show Tips for Version 2019" (you'll also need to select "Show Tips at Startup", if it's not already).
Access the new features list for older versions in the Help Index of the program - from the left-menu, choose Contents | Features and a list of New Features will show - all the way back to Version 7!

#TBT Band-in-a-Box® Goes to NAMM
As we get ready to head to Summer NAMM this year, we're remembering our time their last year - we had so many visitors stop by our booth!
Click here to take a peak!
Special thanks to Mike and all the RealTracks Artists and PG Endorsers who stopped by. Stay tuned for our Booth Visitors and other happenings from Summer NAMM on July 18-20, 2019! If you find yourself at the event, come say "Hi!" to us at booth 234.
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows StylePicker Feature - Finding RealTracks & MIDI SuperTracks

#WisdomWednesday
Band-in-a-Box® Tip of the Day!
Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® will show you some helpful "Tips" when you start the program? What a great way for new program users to learn all the features of the program! Want to know Tips on just the latest version? This feature can be adjusted to just show the Tips for that too.
Maybe you're a long-time user of the program, and have this feature turned off? To access Tip of the Day (450+ available!), head to Help | Tip of the Day. Your Tip will appear right away - and you'll have the option of reading the Next Tip if you wanted too! Within this window is where you would also choose to "Show Tips at Startup" (if this is unchecked, you won't see them), or "Only Show Tips for Version 2019".
Here's a few Tips the program informed me of the last time I opened Band-in-a-Box®:
In the Piano Roll window, the 'Ghost Note' function allows you to view a single-channel, and see notes on all other channels display in light grey. This is useful when working with multi-channel tracks.
Want a bigger guitar display? Drag the bottom end of the Guitar Window to change its size, or press the SETTINGS button to set a custom size.
The Printout can use left and right MARGINS. This is useful to make printouts for small paper size or 3 hole paper that requires margins.
Edit | Nudge Chords/Melody. Let's say that you have entered a complete song chord progression, and you then realize that all of the chords starting at bar 23 are 1 beat to late. You can use this feature to slide your chords over by 1 beat.
