A cracking all round track. Slight latin feel to the rhythm which gives it a real kick !

Will,

This is a great listen. EXCELLENT use of BIAB!

I always appreciate when someone uses a RealTrack or RealDrums that we haven't heard before and brings to our attention. Those RealDrums are very cool! (I hadn't heard them before - so thanks for that!).

All the instruments sound good. Excellent mix.

Cool track.

Thank you, Floyd!

Yes, I have a lot of fun going through older RealTracks... there are a lot of gems hidden within BiaB.

Thanks a lot for listening!

Hi Misha,

Flamenco? Well, maybe we can call it Flamenco-disco? smile

I really appreciate your kind comments! Thanks for listening.

Very uP.
The piano dominated from the right on my set up.
Reading my way down the page as I listened I'd have loved the piano part to be Flamenco guitar just for the fun of it but it's perfectly fine as is - similarly a clean solo would've served my fruit platter but your choices are excellent and I think you achieved your end.


Cheers

Great composition and choice of RT's and the RD. Gotta check out those drums for future ideas.

Minor key and happy feel = mission accomplished!

The mix sounds excellent on the monitors.

Kudos!!!

Well done!

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

A great rhythm section you have going on here! Very nice guitar work also. An interesting selection of RTs and RD that were mixed to perfection.

Great job on this!


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.

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."

Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
