Quite an intricate and complex piece - evoking many different moods.

Some very nice flourishes and unexpected twists.

Nice work.

Nice. A lot of interesting changes. Even though I am not as big a fan of some of the midi voices, you did a good job of mixing. Everything sits in its place well. I agree that some of the instruments are just a tad too busy at times. But that's just my personal opinion.

Thanks for sharing this! Don't wait so long to share more. smile

Thanks Greg for you very kind words.
The flute I used is from the Kontakt Factory Library. It's very nice. I'm on the road until mid-October, otherwise you could have sent me the midi file to convert to audio.
Thanks again,
Cheers,
Mike

No doubt a lot of thought and effort went into this production.

And it paid off.

Both midi and that number of tracks are beyond my music pay grade!

Beautiful and cinematic in feel.

Enjoyed it!

Hello, 'mkg50'...

I'm pretty sure your post is the first one I've listened to that caused me to think about its orchestration and arrangement, which is a testimony to how intricately it unfolded. It sounds like a 'chart' written by someone who knew what he was doing! It was easy for me to imagine you in a studio, wearing headphones and standing behind a podium, baton-in-hand, as you conduct the orchestra cool.

It's a lovely, tender and evocative composition that played back like a tightly-structured musical drama, while being quite obviously a portrait in sound of very special person in your life. Also, unique, memorable, and finely textured in an emotional sense.

Very skillful production, sir !!! smile

Nice work on this, Mike! You held my attention throughout the entire piece, I was wondering where you were going to take it next.

I wouldn't know where to start arranging and mixing a project like this, but you pulled it off very well indeed.

Enjoyed!

Hi Mike ...

Loved it! You did a marvelous job transitioning from one part to another. I might be odd-man-out here, but I liked the opening intro ... it opened the door for the surprise that came afterwards. It's obvious you dedicated a lot of time and effort into this wonderful composition.

I'm almost a total idiot when it comes to midi ... it seems you have a terrific grasp on it!

Thanks for a great listen. Wishing you the best ...

Alan

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."
