Mario's Version of Icelanders' The Tremendous Travellers

This is Icelander's original version:

https://soundcloud.com/eddie-icelander/tremendous-travellers

He used SF2 MIDI sounds. I said that if you wish I could add some better sound sources. He said he has better sounds but here are the stems and do whatever you want to do with it.

I did some changes from the original. I deleted the guitar and accordion tracks. I modified the drums, changed the trumpet sound, and added some slight vibrato and volume changes to it. I added cabassa and maraca tracks.

I hope you like it for what it is.


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.

Mario,
your modification/interpretation sounds much less midi - largely to the change in melody carrying voice.
The maraca is a little loud for my taste but overall i think you've taken this track quite a few steps forward.
The change is bass & bass level makes a huge difference.
The phrasing of the melody is still a little "mechanical" but it is what it is.
Good job.


Cheers

Different but in a very engaging way...

It was fun listening to both versions.

Gotta love this forum's collabs!

Good one, Mario. I was hoping you would come in with a vocal, but the trumpet worked great.

I like what you did with this. Clever interpretation of the original. I especially like the melody instrument (horn?).

Thanx everyone for listening and commenting.

Ray, I agree that the lead is very mechanical.

Ed, if you ever heard me sing you would know why I do instrumentals!

Mario,

Your changes really make all the difference here. It sounds like a finely tuned and cohesive song. Love the trumpet treatment.

I've heard you sing, Mario, or an approximation of same. I found it rather charming & would like to hear more.

Nice work on this - I like both versions a lot, but this is my first time hearing the original as well. I really liked the trumpet on this, and thought it flowed really well too.

Thanks for sharing smile

Same for me just now (you should've told me about it once you finished it, Mario), which is a real shame since I was obviously looking very forward to this! smirk

Hey Mario, I couldn't hear your version. Sound cloud says that it may have been removed.
Is that correct?

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."
