Autumn Nights (guitar)

https://soundcloud.com/user-427542889/autumn-nights-guitar/s-NDGfexlvsh2

Addendum (03-21-2020) employed some octave shifting on lead guitar to add a bit of light and shade. Pared back the 'wet' on reverb and changed the signal chain somewhat (in addition to the sound-hole pick up I added a Shure PG57 mic) and ran both through a TC Helicon preamp before the mixer. This is what it sounds like now:

I really like this one!

Just a fabulous tone from the Ibanez, and I really like the melody line you are playing. Thanks for sharing your signal chain too, I struggle with getting a good acoustic sound recorded.

Enjoyed the listen, well done!

Well to repeat Dave...yep, that melodic playing is very, very nice
and that bell like tone is very sweet on our monitors.

A fine backup band you put together also.

Enjoyable for sure!

Beautiful melody and yes, the update is even better. Will you make a vocal from this or will it stay an instrumental? Good either way in my book.

It's one of five tunes I intend to lyricize before the end of the year (although the experts tell me the best songs are usually written on a 'words-first' basis). We'll have to wait and see.

Listened to the new version. This is just lovely. Everything is just so in place, balanced and clear, its just a pleasure to listen to. At just over 4 minutes, it held my attention throughout, which is impressive. As others have noted, the guitar tone is fabulous. The use of the oohs and ahhs is subtle, yet very effective. I'm really looking forward to further developments on this song.

Ghostgum,

Very pretty, soothing tune. Didn’t listen to your first version, but this sounds just right to me. Well done!

Regards,

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.

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."
