I like this as it is and IMHO "it don't need no stinking vocals"!
Its an excellent instrumental!

Very nice blues here with lots of instrumentation that all fits well together.

Keep up the excellent work.


I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

I agree with others about a vocal track...
There's a lot of talented songwriters & musicians around here...
Ever thought about adding a line to your post...
"Any songwriting, lyrics, & vocal collaborations would be greatly appreciated"...


Jim,
Thanks for having a listen and taking the time to comment
Glad you enjoyed the track.
At the moment I'm trying to write a lyric for the song.
If that doesn't work out, I might try your collaboration suggestion.
Cheers,
Mike

Keep up the good work Mike!



Thanks for listening and commenting Steve.
I auditioned so many instruments/synths for the melody before settling on the Kontakt Hammond so I'm a bit sad it is problematic (though I accept your and Ray's criticism).
Do you think it would work just turning the Leslie effect off?
Cheers, and thanks again.
Mike

Thanks for your kind words Torrey.
As always I appreciate your input.

Thanks for listening Peter. I toyed with making it a bit shorter but couldn't quite decide where to cut.

Ah Mario, you're a lifesaver. I've been drowning this week REALLY trying to write some lyrics for this instrumental and now I hear "it don't need no stinking vocals".
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Looks like I missed this the first time around.

BiaB is especially good at the blue, and the arrangement kept things interesting.

I enjoyed the song. smile

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

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!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
