Gospel Blues in CMajor Instrumental Featuring Band in a Box Real Tracks pianist John Jarvis Treid a little something different on this. Isolated John's piano on a separate track with piano high level and backing track very low. Recorded over the bass line. Brett's guitar still audible but kind of covered. Original BB drum track audible.

Hello edshaw, what a marvelous song I might say! Excellent mixdown on all of this and I dig the overall timbres. Good use of EFX on the guitar. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, Joe. Good ear & thanks for the comments. I'm not sure what you're hearing, but since the guitar tracks are essentially dry (a little reverb) if you have a second, I'll relate why I think you might be hearing.
I set the recording up with four guitar tracks. Track:
#3 = Bass line, 2nd position (finger 2 on 3rd fret C.)
#4 = Chord comps. Positions 2-3-4.
#5 = Melody, low-mid range, 3rd pos, 5th fret C.
#6 = Melody, high range, pos. 5 & 6, frets 10 & 13.
I go through this because I think what sounds like an effect just might be phasing of the melody lines. Earlier this spring I was fooling around with layering, playing the same melody, not improv'd, in different positions and danged if I didn't wind up with phasing. I thought, "Aha, this is how Les Paul and Mary Ford discovered tremolo!"
Other than that, once the 4 guitar tracks were finished, I EQ'd and Compressed them, but I don't think that changed the effect.

Thanks, Ember. I love that C/Am D7/G7 C/G7 turnaround. Isn't it cool?

At one time, Jim, I was considered almost prolific in the song writing field. I had the knack of producing lyrics to rhythmic sounds as diverse as from a railroad train passing to running water from a faucet or shower head.
It must of had to do with an emotional association with a rhythmic line. Gibson has a model named "Songwriter," which I take to mean chord strumming machine. In fact, I wound up chord comping on keyboard.
Not to go on, or to give you the idea I'm seeking analysis, that knack drifted away. This was coincident with a new found interest in melody. At first, I thought it was a passing phase, but you know, I really have not been able to write for some years, now. I have one BB collab on the docket that just sits there, awaiting inspiration. (Maybe the curse of R & R.)
The melodies on this "Gospel Blues ib Cmajor" mainly consist of 1-3-5 lines in C-F-G. Maybe that will strike a happy medium and get me going, again.
Thanks for the comment.

I'll say it again - just a lovely, pleasant, and easy to take tune. Flows like water and is easy to close your eyes and get lost in. Thanks for sharing

Thank you Mario and Deryk. Where would I be without you?
I have plans to use the classic progressions to do a few more. The learning process seems to have been magnified.

Thanks, Greg. That is definitely a concern, If I cut them at 3:10, the audiences say they are too short. They want to hear a couple of improvised verses. However, in the case of instruental versions, that should not apply. Good suggestion.

Nice tune. May be the internet on my end or on Instaudio, but I hear a tremendous amount of artifacts on the song. Also, the volume level is extremely low. I had to turn up my volume almost all the way to get a good level of sound. Like I said, could just be a temporary anomaly.
Otherwise, enjoyed the song.

Oh, yeah, Steve. I see. It wasn't like that at first, though the volume is something I continue to work on. I recorded it as a 64kbs MP3 and that just doesn't cut it. I just load a version of "Leaning" recorded at 128 kbs MP3. Maybe that will do it. Even at that, the file is under 5Mb.

Nice melody but it sounds, to me, like there's a tap running in the background. I assume that's the partially muted backing. I'd opt for a "vinyl" crackle effect or radio EQ to give it an old timey feel rather than the slightly distracting nature of what's there.

RealBand® Works Great in Windows® 11!
Here's an introductory look at RealBand® running on the preview version of Windows® 11!
Watch the video.
Customers LOVE Band-in-a-Box® 2021!
Check out some of the latest Band-in-a-Box® feedback we've received:
"There's a saying 'Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.' That's exactly what my friend did in 1990. He taught me how to use BIAB and I've used it hundreds of time to do arraignment and to jam with any style band."
"Love BIAB. I use it daily. Their support is great too!"
"RealTracks are amazing!!! I use BIAB for backtracks in my solo act... Still using the basic package and it's all need..."
"I have used Band in A Box for many years. If it would have been around when I was young, I would have been a much better musician. I use it for all my songs I have written and recorded. With Band In A Box I can sit in my room and sound like a whole band without having to put up with them!"
"If you know something about music and take the time to learn the program, you can make it do some amazing things. It is a great help to songwriters who want to demo their song without paying for studio time. It makes changes and tweaks much easier as well."
"Been using it for so many years. It's a great tool. The instruments that I don't have or play make up the void and it saves so much time. I use this program for every song I write."
"Great tool for the songwriter!"
"An essential part of my studio! I write songs on piano, but I'm not a pianist by a long way. BIAB is like having a roomful of session players in your studio, and just the simple act of taking your basic idea and hearing a skilled pianist play it presents so many new ideas and options you hadn't thought of."
"Powerful, easy to use, inexpensive and they even split the modest payments up if you want. No complaints. Lots of satisfaction."
"I added a steel guitar to a fully produced original. He followed every change like he was in the studio reading the chart. Fascinating technology!"
"I have used it to make backing tracks for six CD's with about 12 songs on each. They make a great gift!"
"It's simply a necessity - buy it now - the staff and support do a great job as well!"
"A great tool for us songwriters!"
"I LOVE Band-in-a-Box!"
"I see it as a very worthwhile investment. In fact, from initial purchase about 8 years ago, using the backing tracks I have made, my income from that investment has returned over 5,000% on the investment!"
continued...

Band-in-a-Box® - Boxing Clever - Sound on Sound #TBT
Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® is more than 30 years old? I stumbled across this 1990 magazine article explaining the relatively new program, and think it's an enjoyable read for any Band-in-a-Box user - it really shows that we are always listening to user feedback when developing our program!
Read the article: Boxing Clever: Band-In-A-Box Software
A few of my favorite statements:
"The intention of PG Music's Band-In-A-Box package is to couple that speed and convenience with the improved flexibility of the personal computer. Versions are available for the Atari ST, Mac, and PC compatibles. Have the programmers succeeded? And can they rid themselves of the stigma of the auto-accompaniment section? Given the above state of affairs, the first hurdle that the program has to overcome is one of acceptance and, frankly, a name like 'Band-In-A-Box' is a bad start."
(I think our name was a great start!)
"The final results are, to say the least, impressive. Band-In-A-Box achieves something that most hardwired auto-accompaniment sections have never been able to do - inject a degree of feel into the music. It really does sound more human than so many of the computer generated pieces I've heard."
"...I'm quite convinced that PG Music will have a winner on their hands. This is one piece of software that you can get more out of than you put in."
