Hi F.F.M.,

This is a very nice song you made. The melody gave a feeling it was somewhere in the '50s? Don't shoot me if I'm wrong! But it has a cheerful infuence. couldn't find the little secrets though...
It's not easy to do that arrangements in a way they fit nicely. But you did it. I heard the acoustic bass did something special (towards the end of the song). To get it like that is a very good job.

I thought the soloist was another instrument and not a sax. I even thought it to be a clarinet. Then I read what instruments you used, so it was a sax after all.

The soprano sax sounds sweet. Very interesting changes, F.M.M.. The guitar rides the changes in a very melodic way, Well done.


Enjoy whatever happens!

'F.M.M'...

Your songs ALWAYS take me to the most gorgeous and serene places in my mind, a combination of places I've actually been to, and other places that exist only in my imagination.

The Real Style and it's accompanying Real Tracks are simply stunning -- I need to get busy checking out more of BIAB's styles! The soprano sax solo made me think I was watching the musician actually playing his/her instrument.

What can I say about your electric guitar performance? So much soul, so much melodic and rhythmic invention. I love how much space you leave between your musical statements. It makes me want to compare you with other, more well-known artists, but, you know what? I ain't gonna do it, because you hold your own among them, 'F.M.M.'. They should be singing your praises, sir smile. Don't respond bashfully, now, 'cause you gotta know how good you are as an instrumentalist.

Just keep this up, is all I can say smile.

Truly,

LOREN (a.k.a. 'bluage')

That's very nice Eric.

The melodic guitar and the backing tracks make it sound like a 60's or 70's
movie theme.

Nice!

Ah, the oft-neglected soprano sax. It's cool to hear it in an even more mellow context than usual.

And then the guitar came it, and like floyd jane, it became my favorite part of the song.

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

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."
