I don't think I've seen much of that publicly discussed, though there are obviously plenty of collaborations making it to the Showcase.

I've got a song pretty much "written", and as soon as I can get used to singing into a microphone again, I think I'll be able to cut it. But I want to put my producer hat on and ask for a little live playing help.
I don't know who to ask "privately" except for guitar-slingers, and that's not what I "hear" for this piece.

Details will follow if I'm not breaking some unwritten or written rule.

Tangmo,

As I see it, this seems like a perfect forum for asking about collaborations.

Regards,
Noel

Tangmo,

Feel free to ask for collaborations either here on the forums or on a PM. That is how all of the collaborations that you hear are started.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

When I learn who the players are, I'll try to ask privately.

But here goes for now. The song is a sort of "southern soul" piece in a major key at mid-tempo (final key and tempo yet to be determined). The style is even 16, but it swings a little from pushes.

I spent hours rehearsing soloist real tracks. Nothing too "bluesy" works for me, but it may just be the tracks. Blue notes will likely work here and there. Lord knows I'll be singing some.

My producer ear hears a horn or horns. Trumpet? Sax? Trombone? That fits the genre and goes along with one horn I did find--a Tuba that works (as the song has a bit of a sense of humor without being jokey) but can either stay or go.

I haven't completely worked out the structure, but as present it'd be 9 bars minimum (plus ramping in and/or vamping out as the spirit moves). The progression is pretty strong and there is only one chord that stretches the "key" a hair. I'd love to hear a collaborator's ideas on anything related to the song, but my first focus in any discussion is on serving this lyric. I'll finish structure as soon as I know there will or will not be an answer to this thread.

I'm perfectly fine with midi or keyboard horns if the sound is good and the play believable. I give collaborators wide discretion as long as they don't do what I specifically ask for them not to do. I've been well blessed by that philosophy. I also prefer to work with someone who acts quickly once the decision is made. I'm going as fast as I reasonably can too...always.

Hit me up publicly or privately.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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."
