Seeing that I was such a crap surfer, broke my nose, nearly drowned, ended up in hospital for stitches I thought I would write a "surf tune" in the safety of my home studio!!
Using the Bass and Drums from BIAB really gave it the surf feel. cool

Ouch!

Glad you got some inspiration from that painful episode.

Fun tune, especially the descending bit and bends starting at 2:02.

Interesting all the way through. I liked it! smile

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

Brian, you definitely captured the surf-sound quite perfectly.

Good driving beat throughout, with a perfect choice of bass and drums.

cool ideas.
I reckon the lead guitar is a bit too over driven or fuzzy for classic surf guitar but the rhythm guitar is spot on.
I don't quite get why you've panned the lead and centred the rhythm - equally panning both would've made a better stereo image but I'd actually like to hear this in glorious mono.
Excellent playing through out and a cool surf melody!


Cheers

Hi Brian ...

This is the first of your songs I've listened to and I'm delighted I did. Glad you didn't injure yourself and nearly drown as you wrote this!

A really terrific surf song ... I grew up in that eras ... Almost 73 years old. I can see Annette and Frankie on the beach dancing to this. Cool stuff!

Wishing you the best and safe writing in the future!

Excellent! You have the surf genre nailed, Dick Dale would be proud.

Mix wise I agree with Ray, move that rhythm guitar off to the side and the lead more towards the center. At the moment the rhythm guitar is dominant, should be the other way around.

But great playing on both guitars, enjoyed very much!

Really nicely done - I feel the struggle, I broke my nose surfing too. Worth it though smile Loved the groove on this one, and you nailed that surfing vibe.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi,

Many thanks for all your listens and comments, all taken on board (pun intended smile
Agree about the panning a small tweak does wonders, the inspiration came from my mishap and Dick Dale such a legend.

Regards Brian

Ho Brian,

glad you recovered from everything and turned to something which is seemingly something you're far better in: Makin music.

A very enjoyable tune - sounds sooooo emjoyably Sixties - toe-tapping and mind-flipping --- excellent !!!

Hi Brian,

Your surfing experience might not be a source of fond memories but your song sure is! It's really well done. You've captured that 60s instrumental sound very, very well. Love the lead guitar!

Kudos to you! I'd have no idea how to start writing in this genre.

Enjoyed my listen,
Noel

Brian,

I’m generally not one for instrumentals, but this was intriguing and really well executed. You’ve captured the “surf” sound perfectly. And it moves along at a perfect pace keep listeners engaged. Nicely done!

Best regards,

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."
