Digging back into the archives for this one. I found myself out in the woods today, in the back of my property. I was cleaning up the shooting lanes in the woods and spraying poison ivy... so I popped in my ear buds and listened to some of my older stuff. This was back quite a while. The piano is played by Janet W. We worked on a number of instrumentals back in the day. I had just gotten BB and was learning what it could do. I'm throwing in the guitar parts. BB is everything else. I believe the DAW at that time was MC4. And this was recorded on my Dell Laptop. The song was inspired by a movie soundtrack theme. 100% instrumental Above The Clouds I don't recall the instrument tracks.... but if it's not the piano or guitar, it's BB/RB Enjoy

Wow Herb you did a great job recording the guitar and piano then mixing with the BIAB tracks! Both sound extremely good to me! That piano has an extra special good sound to it! Thanks, Torrey

This is a really old song.... Janet hasn't done any music to my knowledge in a long time. Thanks for listening.

Thanks, Torrey This was early in my time with BB and music recording with MC4 (Cakewalk) software. Janet had purchased Ivory Piano soft-synth and let me tell you, it was a costly package but yep.... those pianos really sound good.

Really nice work on this  If flows smooth as butter, and the mix is really concise to me. Definitely sound professional, and the groove is great on it too. How old is this particular tune, just wondering? At any rate - thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

I don't know what movie inspired this instrumental but it would be absolutely right behind its own movie, with Harry Dean Stanton's face just contemplatin' things! Great sound choices and lovely production. Thanks for a very pleasurable listen.  John

The interplay between piano and steel and slide brought up images of a "relationship", maybe a bit troubled, but hanging in there. I like this.

I started to watch it, the soundtrack was really nice..... but.... had to stop watching at a certain point. Not my kind of movie.... Thanks for listening.

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."
