Nicely done, Mario. Cool sax...




Always generously tip the waitress or bartender on your first drink and they will take care of you for the rest of the night. Been there - done that way to many times!

Thanx Deryk. Adding expression is the main reason I purchased the EWI-USB. Also this MIDI BiaB style is one of the best IMHO. Much better strings and piano in this style than many others IMHO.

Thanx Peter for listening. Those kind of announcements were very common in my wedding bands.

There's trouble with the band!
The drummer got drunk and passed out
The rhythm guitarist took a girl out to the car, don't know why
The bass player is stoned on weed
and the five people in the audience don't give a damn about the band!

Sounds real to me!

I've got a USB EWI, and I love woodwinds on it... with the exception of the sax. If I had the SampleModeling library it would probably help a lot, but I can't justify the price, since I've got an actual sax sitting unplayed in the corner. (Every time I go to practice it, it seems my wife is trying to take a nap).

Anyway, thanks for posting.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanx David. Having a sax player say my MIDI sax sounds real means a lot to me. I do have the SampleModeling sax library as I found that to be the most realistic, but that is the only library of theirs that I own. I like the EWI on flutes also. Actually any monophonic instruments is enhanced with a wind controller IMHO.

PS - get that sax out and play!

I don't want to give the wrong impression - I'm more a wannabe player. I can honk out notes, but that's about it. But it's enough that when I try the sax sounds from the libraries I've got on the EWI, they are worlds away from real thing. So I'm impressed when someone can get past that really obvious "fake sax" sound.

I really should focus on getting a bit less awful on the trumpet first.

I'd hoped to convince one of my kids to pick up the sax, but that didn't fly. I think the big problem is that the sax really isn't a quiet instrument. My kids are shy about learning new things, and would rather not have people listen to them practice.

The sax does not lend itself to quiet practice! At least trumpets have mutes. Have you seen what a sax mute looks like?

But thanks for the encouragement!

David, maybe you could try this sax mute:

PS - when I was a teen living home I found out that both a trumpet and a guitar were not quite instruments!

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!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
