...Don't forget to tip you waitress and bartender...
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!
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

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.

Mario, Another great wind controller performance. I really loved it. The announcer part was pretty cool also, Tom Thanx Tom. We used to announce things like that at every gig.

Mario
Very nice indeed and as everyone has said the sax sounds great - and I also liked the announcements near the end.
Peter
Thanx Peter for listening. Those kind of announcements were very common in my wedding bands.

Oh man is that sax ever great! OK we've waited 30 minutes....where's the band. More!
J&B 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.

Anyway, thanks for posting. 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!

Thanx David. Having a sax player say my MIDI sax sounds real means a lot to me. 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. PS - get that sax out and play! 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: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/131270218796PS - 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!

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."
