Sounds good. Nice progression and mix. Agree it has a soundtrack feel.
Again well done getting the best out of your studio guitarist.

Hi Peter,

Thank you very much! I don't do a very much lead guitar these days as my Focal Dystonia (makes my fingers curl inward and then get very stiff) is advancing at a rapid pace. However, I plan to do a video sometime between August and the end of the year with me playing "live" - live, as in my residence.

Thanks again. Glad it sounded good to you!

Alan

Hi Alan,

I like this. It sounds like the background music for an action or driving scene from one of those cop shows from the 70s... 'Starsky and Hutch' was the first that came to mind.

Best wishes to both you and Di smile

Enjoyed the arrangement and the selection real tracks to put this together. I liked the interesting progression, especially like the way you inserted the stop towards the end so that the guitar solo. Thanks for sharing!!

I saw your reply to Peter, looking forward to the video!

Brilliant it does sound like the old cop shop programmes we had back then, Although in some ways it seems relevant to present time in its own way.


There is something, but I just cant put my finger on it at the Moment.

This is so good Alan. Tone and phrasing were just excellent. Guitar was just screaming. My kind of tune. Well done

What a jam! As others mentioned, you nailed the usage of these RealTracks. The tune sounds larger than life, and has an epic sort of feel to it as well. Very reminiscent of the rock tunes you'd hear in the mid 70's.

Great work on this one, and thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

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

Thanks, Floyd. BIAB gets most of the credit - just plugged in a few chords and instruments. Brent and the band took it from there. Appreciate the nice words!

Tano,

Many thanks for the really nice words. As I told Floyd, BIAB deserves a lot more credit than I do. Appreciate your visit and comments.

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.

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."
