AVE MARIA on SC, or if you prefer YT, then go HERE

This one is initially one of my entries in last fall's "Xtra" contest, which I've been intending to start posting in here too where there may be more ears to reach, so to speak, but am only first now finding the time to get around to it smirk

Anyway, I'm gonna start this off with my treatment of a well known classical piece, just the fit for an advent sunday - Enjoy! cool

Love it!!! The Bach/Gounod version is my favourite, too, and you did a splendid job on it :-)

Thanks for the generous feedback, guys, much appreciated as always cool

The Procol Harum allusion is something that honestly was nowhere in my head as I was doing this! But since their most known song (also mentioned above) is of course heavily ripping pages from Bach's work, it's perhaps not surprising that people think of it when hearing other rocked-up versions of classics, like this one.

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

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."
