You are at work wishing that you were in the great outdoors.

Just a little quick and dirty song I put together.

BiaB style = Visions1-Dreamy New Age
The piano was changed to an EP
The bass was changed to cellos
The guitar was changed to vibes
The strings were changed to a choir
The drums were deleted

I am playing the flute and vocal via my Akai USB wind controller.

Day Dreaming with video

HI Mario,

What a beautiful and relaxing piece. The video perfectly captured the mood. Dreamy, to say the least. We're still dreaming - eyes closed and smiling. Terrific work! Wishing you the very best,

Mario, this is lovely. Perfect for our overcast drizzly weather right now. The vocal and flute sounds really great -- how do you like that Akai controller?

Mario,

Gorgeous melody on this one. I could listen to stuff like this all day.

This is a real winner.

You should do an entire album just like this. Extremely relaxing.

You are at work wishing that you were in the great outdoors. That image totally works for me! I am a daydreamer, at work and elsewhere. This is very sweet!! Love the flute part-very ethereal. A daydreamer's paradise!! Take care. Greg

Nice relaxing piece, Mario. Like Bob said, it could be in a movie soundtrack (like so many of yours that I have heard).

Really enjoyed this one.

Alan & Di, Bob, Scott C, David, Robertkc, Greg, RnAM, Steve, Janic & Bud and 44kfl thanx for listening and the very nice comments. I greatly appreciate them.

Will B thanx for listening. I really like the AKAI USB wind controller. If anyone wants to add some realism to horns, woodwinds and any other monophonic instrument then either a wind controller or a breath controller is mandatory IMHO.

Hi Mario,

I enjoyed the calm, restful journey that you just took me on. Words and phrases that sprang to mind as I listened included: restful, soothing, laid back, charming, pleasant, wistful, pastoral, tranquil...

All the best,
Noel

I really enjoyed that, it was completely moving.

How can you move someone with just an instrumental.

Ahhh yes the shadows of course.

Was this all midi and I googled the wind instrument ,.

I'm amazed Seriously.

I can't believe that people are still commenting on this song. It was one of the fastest songs that I ever put together.

Gruverider - thanx for listening and commenting.

Tommy - thanx for listening. Photography is my other hobby, even though I am partially colorblind.

Noel - thanx a lot for the very nice comments.

John - thanx for the lovely melody line comment. I really need to be in a major film one day!

Dani - thanx so much. How is Walk Don't Run with the band coming along?

Big John - Thanx so much. Yes that was all MIDI. Most all of my songs are completely MIDI.

Peter, Floyd, Torrey and Sergio - Thanx so much for listening and commenting.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
