One more from me - luckily (some may say) and most probably the last one in a while ... I've taken advantage of the New Year break to write a little, but the Fates will soon call me back to the daily grind, so who knows when my rather dubious but nevertheless existent creativity will have a chance to raise its head and communicate through the wonderful BIAB creative software once more. ANYWAY - here's my latest song, such as it may be - thank you once again for being ever so kind as to listen and perhaps even comment!

*******************
The solo trumpet was done with Sibelius/NotePerformer 3 ... and the whole thing was mixed, as usual, with Audacity. It's nothing major, but I hope you like it all the same :-)
Nicely done, James It flows delightfully smoothly, and the trumpet solo fits perfect with the instrumentation. I can definitely imagine this sounding fantastic as part of a wedding ceremony.
This is really nice - the trumpet synth is excellent and you seemed to play within its range too. The only nit would be the bass/kick drum. For some reason BIAB have gone for the ultra modern clicky kick in the last few years and it's problematic to edit that out and get the old thump back. It can be EQd to sound better but you'd probably need to use something other than Audacity. Lovely track though.

Rob4580: thank you! I was wondering about combining banjo and brass myself, but ... I'm glad it worked :-)
Noel96: thank you so much for such incredibly nice and kind comments! I didn't know "Il Silenzio" ... it's really, really beautiful! Thanks again - also, not least, for your kind comments about my "9 to 5" :-) With any luck, I'll survive and somehow find time to write anyway ;-)
Steve Young: thank you so much - so glad you enjoyed this little offering of mine. I'm always beyond flattered when such amazing musicians as the ones found on this forum like my latest crazy efforts, haha. Thanks again, everyone!!!

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.

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
