This instrumental has very warm sunny summer feeling, especially in the strings and piano - everything mixed nicely together. Enjoyable chord progression. Good listen when heat wave is knocking on the door  Janne

Alan,
No one writes this style of music better than you... You have such a subtle touch - everything fits together so well and has a voice.
Loved it!

I enjoyed this, it brought me back to the 70s and my collection of CTI jazz albums. Great stuff!

What a nice tune! I really enjoyed listening to this. Good choice of instruments and very well produced! It was like listening to an early record from Larry Carlton or Lee Ritenour - very 70/80-ish. Looking forward to hear more music from you! Will

Bob Alan - I had to quote Bob here. He stated it perfectly. So well done! Sounds like a George Benson track... fj

Really well done! Love the upbeat vibe to this - definitely matches the weather where we are lately. Smooth as butter, and nice and easy on the ears. Reminds me of Bob James a bit. Thanks for sharing
Cheers,

Lovely combo. This has a "live" in studio sound that works wonderfully. Excellent movement of the harmonies/progression and the lead is killer. Just great.

That is an amazingly cohesive sound from those RT's. Like the artists have played together for a while (maybe they have ) You have a wonderful ear for these compositions -- like Bob said "a subtle touch) and we always enjoying you sharing them with us. J&B

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks
MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:
There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:
1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track

Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2023 for Windows is Overflowing with Features!
Dennis posted his very thorough Band-in-a-Box® review recently, where he dives into some of the new features added with version 2023: Sound-Guy's Band-in-a-Box Review
Read his thoughts on the Download & Install Manager, partial track regeneration, Playable RealTracks, Audio Editing, the addition of SynthMaster, the VST DAW Plugin, and more!
"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is, without negative connotation, a monster of a program. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. No DAW can do some of the things BIAB does, while BIAB can do a lot that DAWs do."
