https://soundcloud.com/user-423212678/how-i-missed-you-this-4thWas going for a 70s-ish acid-jazz/fusion al la Jean Luc Ponty, Wayne Shorter, et al. It's not quite where I want it to be, but I've been crazy busy lately. Hopefully my time should be freeing up somewhat within the next couple of months and I'll have more time to work on my music so I'll probably revisit it at a later date. That said, hope ya'll enjoy RealDrums: SouthernPopNeoSoulSw16^ (variations) Loop: HipHop\Old School - buckshott_92_a drums sw16 Bass:~902-Electric, SmoothCool Sw16 075 Guitar:2682-Electric, Rhythm ModernPopSwing16HighZane Sw16 075 Synth Pad1840 PopModernGrooveMellow Ev16 075 (through Izotope Trash 2) MIDI SuperTrack 2083-Piano, Rhythm, SmoothJazzCool Sw16 075 (through AIR Hybrid 3) Soloists (custom medley)Sax: 2357-Baritone, Soloist Slow128BluesGary Sw 060 Harmonica (1): 3213-BluesSlowEvenFieryLD Ev 085 Harmonica (2): 3293-BluesSlow12-8LD Sw 060 Fiddle: 1364-GypsyJazzBallad Sw 110 [Double-Time]

Hi DB,

All the best, Noel

All the best, Noel Thanks so much, Noel! It's actually been a crazy year for me, which entailed moving twice, and significant transitions/added responsibilities in my professional life (all of this ultimately for the better fortunately, but VERY time consuming!). Things slow down towards the end of the summer though through the first quarter of the next year. I've no intention to move again the foreseeable future barring unforeseen circumstances (fingers crossed!) so I'm really hoping to get back into playing. I even got a entry-level keyboard because I always wanted to play the piano and also want to devote myself to that when some time frees up :-)

This is a terrific display of RT's, loops, an RD and a MST.
A great illustration of what talent can do with this technology.
And a fine mix tops it off.
Enjoyed it!

Nice work DeaconBlues09, what a marvelous song I might say! Fantastic selection of instruments here and rhythm is easy to follow. Thoroughly enjoyed the fiddle to harmonize everything. Well done!
Cheers, Joe

Nice work! Not only was the foreground music engaging, but the bits of burbling in the background helped create an interesting texture. Glad you could find time from the trauma of moving to put this together.

Wow - this is the kind of jazz I really enjoy listening to I'm admittedly not too much of a traditionalist in that regard - this reminds me of something off On The Corner or B..'s Brew. Really great grooves, and the instrumentation is simultaneously dizzying and intoxicating. It makes for a unique and rewarding listen. I wouldn't change a thing - thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

The fiddle/harmonica passage is very cool! This is has interesting layers throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed.

DeaconBlues,
Very nice soundscape! Hint of Gypsy + harmonica was a nice touch. Jazzy, acidic & groovy! Enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing!

Well put-together piece. Sweet solo turns over that pad and rhythm. Really appreciated the long, slow fade. Really, really nice.

Thanks Joe, one of my favorite things to do with BiaB is throw a variety of instruments from one would often associate with different genres at together track with some flavorful chord voicings, press "generate and play" and watch (hear) the magic happen

Glad you could find time from the trauma of moving to put this together. Thanks Dcuny! That "burbling" background took me at least an hour to nail exactly how I wanted it in Izotope Trash 2 (purchased in the recent sale that a forum member kindly posted about in "off-topic"), so I'm most pleased it was noted & appreciated :-)

Thanks Deryk, This type of acid/fusion-y sound was actually my "gateway drug" to jazz back when I was a young teen, and, to be perfectly honest, I'm still not a huge fan of much "traditional" jazz. The philistine in me still needs likes nice funky rhythm or at least a synthy/textured pulse/sweeping pad to keep me grooving.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

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."
