My last post was titled "Apple Of God's Eye". This song is called "Apple Of My Eye'. It's an instrumental song I dedicate to my grand kids. This is a rework of the very first song I posted on this forum a couple of years ago. It's a Contemporary Jazz type sound. Hope you enjoy it! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Torrey,

I love this style of music and play it around the house all the time. Maybe I'll post a few of them.

This is great! Loved the melody and the tone on your guitar is fabulous! Nice sound all around. That was truly enjoyable listen! BTW ... loved that bridge around the 2:40 mark!

Best to you,

Alan

Torrey,

So I take it you played the solo guitar yourself?
Well, you sure know how to play it!
What a beautiful groove, and such a crystal-clear audio quality too.
This is a very cool instrumental!

Torrey - Kenny said just what I was thinking.

A great listen. Really enjoyed your guitar work (So that's a "processed" acoustic sound?)

We're gonna steal Peter's word "sophisticated" and add ours "classy" to it.

And as floyd asked "processed acoustic?" Man, how did you do that?

It's all so fluid and melodic -- mesmerizing actually but in an energized and uplifting manner.

Great!!

Hello, Mr. Bliss...

In "Apple of My Eye" your guitar playing is so expressive that the notes you played sounded like lyrics being sung. You made it "talk" so clearly that I found myself mouthing words that weren't there, so, at some point I just decided to "scat" along with the notes:

"Dat, dah-dah-dah, dat, doo-doo-dah..."

I didn't notice a specific Real Style being indicated, so it looks like you took the time to search for the tracks that would combine in the most complimentary manner to flesh out your groove and the sound you heard in your head, and it's seamless.

I think the fact that you perform on other musical instruments gives me cause to say for the FIRST time to a "User's Forum" member that you actually made BIAB sound even better!

As other commenters pointed out, the production of "Apple of My Eye" is indistinguishable from what most of us would call "professional".

As the young(er) folks would say, "Man, that cut was tight!"

Sincerely,

LOREN

Yeah! Love that intro! Well crafted composition and great arrangement.

And I love the "pluck" you've captured on your guitar.

Hello, Torrey

Very nice melody!
Super playing! Your guitar is singing very well.
The melody is so natural that it may be sung with lyrics at any moment.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

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."
