Loren,
Tasty stuff and a beautiful tribute! I would prefer Bar.Sax a little higher on the solo, but that just an opinion of average listener. Overall, production is great. I enjoyed this relaxing tune.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha. Hello, Misha... Thanks for the nice comment !!! When you wrote that you would '...prefer Bar.Sax a little higher on the solo...', were you speaking about higher pitch, or octave ??? Thank you for taking time to listen to it !!! Sincerely, LOREN (a.k.a. 'bluage')

Hey Loren,
FINALLY A NEW SONG!
That's a very loveable and creative piece of fine music. Sounds so 'live', but I felt that with most of your songs.
A jazzy Bossa is mostly a treat anyway, but this one just sparkles. Love that 'moaning' voice.
I couldn't think of anything that might have been made better: top-notch all the way, very clear and fine mix.
You brought me into the mood ;-)
All the best,
Stefan

Hi Loren, yessir! I grabbed me from the beginning. Love the style changes and the vocals. I agree that it was a little short. I could have listen to it a lot longer!

Hey Loren,
FINALLY A NEW SONG! Dear Stefan... Yeah, I'm slow when it comes to posting songs, but it's not like there aren't hundreds of other Users' Forum posts to listen to while I'm dragging my a**, ha, ha  !!! Stefan, thank you so much for your wonderful comments on the composition. Now, it's your turn to treat us to another one of your blues-rockin' songs/videos !!! Truly, LOREN (a.k.a. 'bluage')

Mike B. Dear Mike B. ... So, the infamous jazzician known as 'Cuban Pete' reveals yet another name/identity !!! You're the second users' forum member who felt the piece was too short. I have a solution to that problem -- go back and listen to it again, yuck, yuck !!! Thank you for your encouraging comments, 'Mike B.' Always sincerely, LOREN

Looks like I missed this the first time through, but I'm glad the bossa nova train is making another round. It's got a live vibe, and - to my naive ears - sounds authentic. It reminds me how nice a well-placed vibra-slap sounds. More importantly, it sounds great. A bit short, so yes, I did listen to it again.

Loved the hard panning of the two vocal voices - gives them a lot of presence. All the instruments of a lot of presence sounding clear in the mix. Especially liked the percussion.

Very cool. I like those latin grooves. So.... "Music is what feelings sound like."-- borrowed from a Cakewalk Music Creator forum member, "Mamabear". I was a regular in that forum at the time and worked on a number of tunes with Mamabear.... what was your avitar over there? I probably know you from that former life. Back to the song.... man I loved that. Very well done and those vocals.... brilliant. Who needs words when you can skat and it works and sounds so much better. Yep.... very nicely done.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

It reminds me how nice a well-placed vibra-slap sounds. More importantly, it sounds great. A bit short, so yes, I did listen to it again. Hello, 'dcuny'... Yeah, that vibraslap placement was a bit laborious, 'cause I wanted it sound to unexpected, not mechanical. Thank you for noticing that. Concerning the brevity of the song, lately I find myself feeling nostalgic about how brief songs that were broadcasted on the radio used to be 'back in the day', meaning most songs produced from the advent of commercial sound recording, up to about...the 60's. To my memory, two to three minutes was the norm, as far as the length goes. There's something challenging about limiting a song/instrumental recording to that duration. I'd like to emulate that, not all the time, but here and there. Thank you for listening to the bossa nova come 'round the bend, again, 'dcuny' LOREN

Loved the hard panning of the two vocal voices - gives them a lot of presence. All the instruments of a lot of presence sounding clear in the mix. Especially liked the percussion. Hello, 'Mark K'... That 'hard panning' was acheived by opening only one of the pair of vocal tracks in Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio 9.0, and choosing the INVERT/FLIP command, which 'threw' the track to the opposite side of the sound field. Thanks for your approving comments concerning the mix and the percussion. It was nice having you for an audience! Sincerely, LOREN

Hi, 'guitarhacker'... I only visited that forum to get help troubleshooting problems with the software, so I didn't have an avatar, though I rememeber seeing your name occasionally . Glad to read the that song and the scatting especially appealed to you. It's fun singing in that style !!! Thanks for listening to the composition, 'guitarhacker' . LOREN

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."
