I'm Back

After a couple of months of not playing music due to circumstances beyond my control I just thought it is time to have some fun. This is just me jamming on my guitar with Band-in-a-Box.

I hope you enjoy it for what it is.

BiaB style = Bushwick MIDI SW Smooth Funk

Deleted guitar and strings

Bass- Ample Bass-Yin Yang - Slap bass - effects = Presonus Pro EO, and compression

Drums - Addictive Drums - Mr Funker - effects - Waves CLA drums

Piano - Kontakt Library - upright piano - effects = Waves JJP keys and strings

I played the brass via my keyboard controller using Kontakt - Megabrass (3rd party patch) - no effects

I also played my jazz box guitar - effects Presonus compression and BlueCat ReGuitar.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Cool song with some cool licks Mario! That section at around 1:45 was my favorite. Good spread in the mix! Fun song! Thanks, Torrey

Hey, this is really great Mario.

Boy, I'm glad you're back, in more ways than one, too.

I like the vibe you got going through the song. A great jazz fusion funk feel. Nice one.

Take care,

Man, production wise you used a little bit of a lot! Makes my head
spin thinking about how to produce something like this.

Love that funky bass and your guitar is superb.

And a great mix also.

Welcome back,

Good to have you back, Mario! I really like the track... it is funky and engaging!

Don't react to those people who wants to "help" you go viral (in the comments on SoundCloud) - they are scammers... if people like your music it will go viral by itself! smile

Very good funk for a comeback song smile Chording is warm-hearted. Nice guitar playing and the dialog between piano and brass is very enjoyable. Nice mix also, especially the brass has magical smooth sound.

Thanx so much for listening and commenting. I did have fun doing this one.

Thanx Bob. That ReGuitar is a lot of fun to use for changing guitar tones.

Thanx Marty. That bass groove is strictly from the style. The only thing that I did was to pick the bass sound.

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."
