Stalemate

this is the 4th song I have posted recently. Had a lot of work that I never completed and with the cold weather in MN I have been in doors and able to get the songs almost done. Need to mix, finish lyrics and find a singer.

I will edit the post to include the BIAB real tracks. Most of the song was done in BIAB and then dropped into Logic Pro

Bob,

I'm looking forward to hearing where you take this work. It's very engaging and a delight to listen too.

The beginning really draws the listener into the piece & then it builds...
Like Noel I look forward to hearing the finished composition...

Nice work Bob smile It flows really smoothly, and I can already imagine how nice it'll fill out with a singer over top. Some great progressions, and the build is fantastic. Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

It is a beautiful piece of music. I personally don't think you need a singer (but I know that most people here will not agree with me). I really like instrumental music and you did well on this track!

The song has a light and delicate feel almost like the music is dancing. Beautiful to listen too.

Dear Bob,

this fine tune works as an instrumental as well as it would be a great basis for vocals. Love the chord progression in the middle of the song. And the guitar is just in the pocket. Very nice!

Thanks Ezekiiel -- I am getting close to having the vocals done-- the Lyrics are done but had to change singers since the first I hired couldn't keep the correct pitch.

The intro to the song is so lovely, it almost feels a bit sad, but the entirety of the song itself seemed more mellow as a whole.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Ember

This really is top-notch. I like to think that I know from the first few bars of a song whether it's likely to hold my attention or not, and this one held my attention completely. It's got a baroque-like quality of calmness about it, I feel ... together with your unique slant on it all. Most importantly, it tells me a story, even though it does not, of course, actually contain any lyrics. Superb, superb job - well done.

Bob,

I’m not one for instrumentals, generally speaking, but I liked the sound of this one. You do a great job of building the song up as it progresses. I’d be curious to hear it with whatever lyrics you add, but it does stand on its own as an instrumental. Nice work!

All the best,

Deej

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.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
