Wishfull Thinking You are a young pimple faced teenage nerd boy who is in love with the head cheerleader. You dream about her, work up your nerve, then ask her out, only to find out she is a real, well it rhymes with witch but starts with a capital B. She hates nerds. You fade away with your shattered dreams. Now before anyone thinks this is based on my experiences I will tell you it is not. If you want to see the wife and my dating story just watch the original Grease movie. Yep I was a greaser with a leather jacket back then! BiaB Style = Pop Ballad at T60 - Slow EV.16 Tempo - 60 BPM I deleted the drums and replaced them with GrooveMonkee MIDI drum loops and I used Steven Slates SSD5 drum VSTi. I added a touch of Raum reverb on all but the kick drum. Piano - keystone classic - preset piano - FX - PSP piano reverb Strings - Kontakt - Artic Strings - FX Raum reverb Guitar - Kontakt - Hybrid Keys - FX Raum reverb I am playing the Swan Tenor sax via my wind controller. FX - Presonus Saturation Knob & Raum reverb, my fake Tele through Amplitube preset Ambience SR, my fretless bass through Amplitube preset SVX - pop chorus, and the tambourine via my keyboard MIDI controller using Kontakt preset Brio Ensemble tambourine. As usual all comments, good or bad, are welcomed.

Nice pleasant track. Always enjoy your sax parts and the guitar was a nice addition. The backing was good and the repeated sax melody was nice.

Hi Mario.
I assume the sax is the young man dreaming/desiring and suddenly at 1.55 the angry guitar (cleverly supported by piano stabs) represents his crushed ego. Then at 3.15 the sax returns to assure the young man that all is well with the world. At least that's how I interpreted this fine piece.

Then at 3.15 the sax returns to assure the young man that all is well with the world. At least that's how I interpreted this fine piece. That sounds good to me. I had the lower sax as the teenager dreaming about the cheerleader, the higher sax telling her of his desires, the guitar as the B(itch) cheerleader, and the ending as him fading his dream into the sunset. But your interpretation is very good also. I find it very interesting how different people interpret instrumentals in different ways. All ways are good, just different. Thanx for listening and the comments. I greatly appreciate them.

Hi Mario,
Yeah, the story-line certainly resonated with me - I was hopelessly shy until playing in a band changed my confidence level and consequently my life.
No one captures a mood any better than you do and this is well up to the standard I've come to expect from you. Nice playing and phrasing throughout.
Cheers, ROG.

Mario,
Well done.
Nice job on the sax AND the guitar. They both tell a story...
Good mix. A very cinematic piece. Very much enjoyed the listen.

Hi Mario, Sax sounds great! Amazing that you are able to do that via a wind controller. I also really like the drum sound you are getting, I'll need to check out that Slates drum VSTi (I use EZD2 here). Also like the guitar work of course Good instrumental!

In my ears the guitar sounds wounding, like a fight with the football player boyfriend I really enjoyed the sound of the dreaming sax, so smooth and wistful, well played. Nice to hear an instrumental which tells a story, even without your description. Janne

Well, if you had been a guitar player in a band in high school, you would have had all the girls.... sadly, I was never in a band in school. That came later.
Cool interpretation of the work.
Nicely done.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

A word of warning Slates SSD-5 in not a GM drum map. You will have to move drums around to get the right sound.

Maybe she felt "wounded" when a nerd asked her out?

Nicely done. Herb, I was a guitar player in high school! I was also a greaser, l.e. leather jacket or a t-shirt with a pack of cigs rolled up in the sleeve! I had no trouble getting the girls! I'm glad you liked the song. PS - I forgot to mention those horseshoe taps I had on my boots!

Mario, you never fail to amaze me with your abilities on the wind controller. Midi has always been and continues to be above my comprehension level. I am in awe of your knowledge of the subject. Your sax and guitar playing are a pleasure to listen to! Tom

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."
