Hi folks.
Here’s a new instrumental folk/pop track using the 2 guitars fingerpicking Realtracks style with as usual me playing the melody and solo sections,I used IKM Soniksynth for a nice change along with NI FM8 too.

Enjoy!

Very cool back track Rick. Loved the changes in tones from your synth. Well done.

Hi, "Riccled"...

There's a lot of driving, folksy energy in the guitars that roll on underneath your spare piano melody in "Frankie's Story". The harmonica adds a touch of lonely blues that complements the folk feel of your composition. But then, the introduction of the synth choir elevates the spirit of the piece to something more than it was at the beginning.

"Frankie's Story" has a surprising amount of musical character in it, even with only a minimum of instruments. Most of all, it sustains a journeying feel with the taste of a fading sunset on the horizon that is rather distinctive.

Thanks for providing such a brief, but involving musical experience, "Riccled"!

Sincerely,

LOREN

P.S. Also listened to your composition, "Trio for Three Vibraphones". Quite an other-worldly and sonically arresting piece of music, "Riccled"!

Nice work Riccled smile I like how it's almost unpredictable with you what the tune will sound like. Like the stripped down nature of the song. Proof that less is more sometimes. Great progressions, and it flows really well.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,

Dear "Riccled"...

Lovely to hear from you, too! I was away from the forum for five months and returned in September. I've probably missed a gang of your eclectic compositions, so I think I'll take you up on your invitation to visit your SoundCloud page.

Sincerely,

LOREN

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."
