Here And ThereBeen away for a couple of weeks. Most of you probably know why - Di's health issues. But I managed to put together a couple of instrumentals for submission opportunities. This is one I like real well. It's an all acoustic piece - I'm not sure which genre it fits into. It has elements of jazz, pop, easy listening, country, and latin. I'm not fond of the tag at the end, but that's the only ending BIAB would give me - tried over a dozen times. I'm not fond of fades for an ending, but maybe this needs one - any thoughts on that? Trying to catch up on some of the songs posted in my absence. Will listen and comment on as many as time allows. ****** Song Summary – Here And There ************* Title: All RealTracks!

Hi, I like this it is very pretty guitar. I don’t know if this is appropriate but have you considered ending it the way you started it. The first 4 bars.
Hope I don’t offend.

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the listen and comments - much appreciated. I'm *NEVER* offended by suggestions to make my music better. I appreciate any and all constructive comments. And yours is a good one - I'll work on that ending as you suggested and see what I can do. Many thanks for the suggestion and listen. Best to you.
Alan

Great to hear a mondolin doing the serious work. This is good stuff. I do like the current structure but Tony's suggestion is a fine idea & an experiment would decide.

Al,
Loved this tune. Perfect mix as well.
This arrangement has a such great rolling pace, I think a fade-out might sound very cool.

Alan,
This is nicely done (as all of your instrumentals are). Excellent mix.
As far as the ending... I like an occasional fade ending. And Andy's mandolin solo tracks always make good fade endings - the mandolin has a way of "cutting through to the top" of the mix in a fade - which makes the fade seem a fairly natural way of ending (or, rather, not ending...) leaving the ear "happy". I would think it would work for any submission type track, too...
Best to Di.

Nice work, Alan It flows really well, and I thought the mandolin fit flawlessly in the mix here. It isn't often the mandolin is really the star of the show like this. I liked the peppy groove too - made it delightful to the ears and easy to follow. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

Hello Ray, Thank you for the nice comments. I'm going to try it both ways - a fade and then ending it much as I started it. I appreciate the feedback. Best to you. Alan

fj Hello Floyd, I appreciate the listen and your comments and suggestions. Will work on on this tomorrow - both as a fade ending and ending much as I started and then make a decision. So far, a fade seems to be the most popular suggestion. Many thanks and best to you. Alan

It was a relatively short project - about 4 hours from first thought to post. And yes, mandolin rarely takes center stage other than true Bluegrass. I thought it worked pretty nicely in this "pop-ish" song. Thanks for the validation! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for the really nicer words! Best to you. Alan

Torrey,
Thank you I appreciate all that very much. Songtradr just informed me the song has been picked up for one of their advertisers boards.
I truly appreciate all the support you give regarding my music. It means a lot. Again, many thanks. Best to you.

Hi Alan, This is terrific! It overflows with 'happy' energy. I found everything about this very entertaining to the point that I was mesmermised. When the clip ended, I found myself wishing there was more. Like yourself (and others), I thought the ending let the journey down a little bit. While it's functional, I think that there's probably a better ending out there somewhere just waiting to be discovered. As an alternative option to the fade out, an ending that I'd try is... 1. leave the mandolin and let it end as is 2. freeze the mandolin track 3. enter into Song Settings and de-activate the 2-bar ending 4. extend the song for 4-6 bars past the bar that contains the mandolin ending 5. put a "Hold all instruments" chord (i.e. X...) either 1 or 1.5 bars later than the bar that contains the mandolin ending 6. generate and see if the modified ending fits I just tried the above with the demo file for RT1862 (soloist mandolin) and it made the ending a little less abrupt. I've found that the freeze function opens the door to heaps of possibilities. To get the best effect, the song should be around 4 bars longer than the bar with the hold chord to allow for natural decay. I'm going back for another listen now! All the best to both you and Di. You really are incredible people Noel P.S. Congratulations on the Songtradr placement! You deserve every success that comes your way!

You really are incredible people Noel P.S. Congratulations on the Songtradr placement! You deserve every success that comes your way! Hi Noel, Your comments are always music to my ears! I'm more than delighted you liked this. And thank you so much for your detailed suggestion - gonna work on that tonight and see what happens. I'm very appreciative of your time and effort with that explanation. I can't change the track Songtradr accepted, but still, it's worth the effort to try to redo the ending for the indigenous integrity of the song. I've been doing okay at Songtradr - I've had three songs accepted to the advertiser boards and two songs sent to the music supervisors of their projects (film, commercial, etc.). Neither supervisor selected my referrals from Songtradr, but it was nice to have listened to by persons in their capacity. Sometimes they remember a name when searching for another project. Again, thank you so much for everything. Hope all is maintaining well in your world. I'm doing fine. Alan PS: Di says "Hi Noel! I, too, appreciate you liking our music."

I truly appreciate those really nice comments! i think the mandolin is a pretty cool instrument that doesn't get its just appreciation. Thought I'd throw it out there in the spotlight for a few minutes. I sampled 5 or 6 bass lines before settling on that one. Thanks for validating my choice! Wishing you the best. ALan

Alan & Di,
This actually has a cool gypsy jazz feel to me—one of may best mates, who is a huge gypsy jazz fan, would be flipping over this tune. I’ll be sure to play it for him. Short, sweet and engaging all the way. Beautifully done!
Kind regards,
Deej

Hi Deej, Thanks for the listen and very nice comments. Yes, this does have a touch of Gypsy Jazz to it, Had a thrown in a fiddle lead in places, then it would have been a bit reminiscent of Reinhardt and Grappelli. I love that music! I Hope your friend likes it when he listens. If so, here's a link to a Gypsy Jazz tune I did several years ago he might like: http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12926091It got picked up for a British documentary on Gypsy Jazz. Anyway, thank you for your kind comments. I appreciate them very much. Wishing you the best. Alan

Alan,
Very fun song! Mandolin solo is very nice. Chet Atkins' style side guitar is also wonderful and it perfect fits this tune. I entirely agree with you. It has elements of jazz, pop, easy listening, country, and latin. So, I cannot tell which genre it fits into, either. I love this chord progression. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

So enjoyable, right from the first “dive” into the minor key, reminded me of a stroll through the countryside. Shows how much you can get out of BIAB with skillful selections of style, instruments, RT’s, etc. With seasoned judgment about overall shape of the track, you’ve made it interesting...I’ve found that letting BIAB self-generate, sometimes you get predictable, less-than-interesting outcomes..but you made something quite perky and pleasing. For the ending, I would substitute 4 bars of that minimal intro, ending in a stop, if that makes sense. Great post, Alan.

Shigeki Adachi Hi Shegeki, Thank you for the very nice comments. By the way, your command of the English language us very, very good! I'm still not sure what genre to call this, but it was fun to write. I'm delighted you enjoyed your listen. Best to you, Alan

I rarely use styles "as is":. I would guess I average, in total, 3-4 hours trying various tracks and finding the ones the meld fairly well. It's definitely interesting and sometimes gives my ideas for other music projects under construction. The song has already been accepted for an opportunity to which I submitted. I was advised to keep it as is because of that. But I might do what you and Noel suggested just for my own purposes. I appreciate your suggestion - sounds like a good variation. Many thanks! And best to you. Alan

Convenient Ways to Listen to Band-in-a-Box® Songs Created by Program Users!
The User Showcase Forum is an excellent place to share your Band-in-a-Box® songs and listen to songs other program users are creating!
There are other places you can listen to these songs too! Visit our User Showcase page to sort by genre, artist (forum name), song title, and date - each listing will direct you to the forum post for that song.
If you'd rather listen to these songs in one place, head to our Band-in-a-Box® Radio, where you'll have the option to select the genre playlist for your listening pleasure. This page has SoundCloud built in, so it won't redirect you. We've also added the link to the Artists SoundCloud page here, and a link to their forum post.

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
See the Melodist in action with our video, Band-in-a-Box® 2024: The Melodist Window.
