Hello, forum friends Sometimes I would like to remake my old vocaloid song to a real vocal version. This time I reproduced one of them with female vocal. Any comments encouraged. Always welcome. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi Title: Say Hello To You Vocal: Yoko K., my friend Link: https://soundcloud.com/animarorecords/say-hello-to-you-2020-verStyle is _JBREEZE.STY (JazzFunkBreezy Rhythm Sect[75RS]) RealTracks in style: ~1636:Bass, Electric, JazzFunkBreezy Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: ~1639:Piano, Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkBreezy Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: ~1637:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkBreezyChords Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: ~1638:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkBreezyMuted Ev16 075 RealTracks in song: 1058:Sax, Alto, Soloist SmoothJazzPoppy Ev16 090 RealDrums in style: JazzFunkGroovin^1-a:HHSdStk, b:HHSnr Additional Strings, Clavinet and Percussions from SWAY.STY (Sway - Smooth Jazz - Latin Pop, MIDI) Clavinet: Native Instruments Kontakt5 clavinet Percussion: EastWest Goliath GM Percusion 4 part strings: EastWest Symphonic Orchestra Summary of lyrics: I say hello to you Like the sky without an end Wherever and whenever I will fly to visit you I have been thinking I could never see you again But I noticed it would come true someday If I kept wishing it strongly I'll definitely reach you Before I knew it, I gave it up I was becoming timid Now I can't wait to call your name It is so nostalgic I was thinking about everything I could not do But now I only think what I can do Dreams are not just dreams How close is your town? I say hello to you, hello again to you Like the sky without an end Yesterday is me and tomorrow is you I want to be by your side from now on I'll never leave you again I kept thinking you strongly Now the wish will finally come true Your town is shining there I posted the vocaloid version here on January, 2015. https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=49019&Number=340544#Post340544

Shigeki,
Pretty tune and lovely vocal. I don’t recall hearing a prior version, but can’t imagine it topping this. Really strong in all aspects—impressive music-making!
My very best to you,
Deej

Hi Shigeki,
Your production is outstanding in all aspects and, wow, does Yoko ever deliver a fine vocal!
Her vocal sounds very heartfelt and soulful ... qualities that always attract us.
And your orchestra is tremendous. We'll never understand how you put all those tracks together but they are so well mixed and layout an impressive soundstage on our monitors. The sax is exceptional.
Well done by both of you!
J&B

At others said: outstanding. If it wasn't for the more modern mix, you could easily convince me it came off an album. But as much as I love saxophone, how about a flugelhorn lead instead?

Adding touches of the "real" to BIAB makes everything even better. The vocal does get a little loud/aggressive at the 41 second mark but it's not significant other than that it runs counter to the smooth, warm, friendly sounds of the track. Ms. K is as fab as the music.

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."
