Hey, there, "rcarver"...

Mixing (or blending) Real Tracks from different genres is an adventurous, exciting and inspirational thing to do! Sometimes they actually compliment each other. The proof is in your song, "Sad Sundays".

Putting a pedal steel guitar on the same musical street as a baritone saxophone certainly evokes the sadness of a particular Sunday in a particular place and time. The pedal steel instrument speaks of dusty roads, quiet towns and grassy railroad tracks, fields of fallow farmland, fishing holes, and so on. The baritone sax solo evokes the sound of Christian missions calling out for sinners on skid row streets. All in all, it's a weary, winding-down feel that you've materialized out of your tracks, "rcarver".

It's a fine mood piece, sir! cool

Sun-dazed,

LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage")

Really nice work on this one smile It has a really gentle sway to it which I liked, and I thought the guitar work was really stand out. It isn't often I hear a baritone sax and a sliding guitar on the same song, but this tune pulled it off beautifully.

Nice job - thanks for sharing!


Cheers,

Great job, rcarver!!! The base rhythm is what drives this tune forward, for me, together with some great instrumental arrangement choices and melodies. I want to hear more!

I find that the instrumentals on this forum tend to be some of my favourites to listen to. I like using the title of the song to help set the mood that I come to expect from the song before I give it a listen. Just to see if it matches!

Awesome job and thanks for sharing.

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."
