Hello! Here's my latest. I went here for a little different kind of tune which I consider to be Funk (maybe?)
Hope you all like it.
Cheers

Again Mike you have taken a number of RTs and perfectly blended them into a masterpiece.

I wouldn't call this funk. I would call if fusion or jazz. Whatever you call it it is great music.


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.

Nicely done Pete.
I thought the drum intro was a nice touch.
Good choice of band. Really well done.

Def. not funk but I danceable jazz flavour with French Gypsies fiddling.
The droning synth part on the right needs a little more character I suspect as it has a mosquito buzz happening.
Nice work.

Hi Mike ...

I could have said it better than Mario already has. I definitely agree with the Jazz Fusion thought. Nice arrangement! Loved the percussions on the intro. Perhaps the fiddle is just a wee bit loud. But, that doesn't detract from the really sweet listen you gave us!

Best to you. Be safe ...

Thank you guys for the listen and comments, Agreed, def not funk, right after I posted it I realize my mistake. Fusion for sure
I'm glad you all liked it in spite of an inaccurate description.

Best regards

Mike B.

Mike, the word that comes to mind is engaging.

From that drum intro to the last note our listening never
strayed ... and that was three times through.

Excellent and as I and others say it is an amazing
display of BiaB and talent.

Super!

J&B

Mike,
That woke me up! Whatever the style, this is a great grooving example of blending MIDI personality with RT quality.
I love the fiddle and the energy of this.

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."
