Nicely done as usual, am listening several times now, enjoying it with my lunch.
I think the problem with the MK lead RT is not that it makes everything sound like MK but it makes everything sound like Sultans of Swing. At least that's my experience with it. I'm still determined to find good use for it one of these fine days.
Thanks for this, Al! TM ... Thanks a bunch. Glad you liked it. I agree with you about the MK RT does tend to mold the entire groove of the project in the Sultans of Swing direction because it is such a strong influence on that particular song. My thought, as I approached this, was to a Mark Knopfler sound, rather than a Dire Straits sound, on a Smooth Jazz project that the likes of George Benson or Ken Navarro might have done. It was just one of the spur of the moment things that crossed my mind for who knows what reason. Again, thanks a lot. Take care and be safe ... Alan

Great instrumental Alan, love the Guitar, all mixed perfectly together, radio ready as they say.
Really enjoyed the listen. Hello MusicLover ... Thank you very much for the listen and most kind words. I'm delighted you enjoyed it. Love the "radio ready" thought ... appreciate that! Wishing you well. Be safe ... Alan

Well done Al!
You are a highly talented machine stamping out one after another great BiaB instrumentals with remarkable consistency.
The hinted Knopler vibe was very cool as we are big fans of his playing and tone.
Great soundstage on our monitors ... just kick back and listen with no parsing needed.
Excellent!

Hey Folks ...
Sure did put a smile on my face as I read your comments. I have a dozen or so of these waiting in the wings. I'll be posting a new one every four or five days. I generally don't like to post a new one when the current one is still on the front page.
I appreciate you folks very much. Always a delight to read your comments. Many thanks.
Take care and be safe ...
Alan

Hi Alan and sleeping beauty,
I was lucky to scroll through all the posts on your song, Alan. I wanted to say something about sleeping Di while you were creating a masterpiece before she woke up! Then I read Stefans'remarks. He started with that exact same sentence I had in mind! I think we both got caught by the image Di taking a nap and in that same time you hurried on the sologuitar to get the solo done. When listening attentively I can hear you were in a hurry playing that solo.
I might have told you I am not very fond of instrumentals, except yours and recently also those of F.F.M and Tangmo (but yours first of course), and there is a reason for that; with your music on I can easely picturize myself somewhere in a lounge or whatever, behaving like a dandy and try to impress others... No not that, I just can see myself sipping my drink and enjoying your song. That's what happens when listening to your songs. And I like that!
But what I don't get is it only took you 6 hours to make this song, mixing it and mastering it too. I can be quick, but you beat me with this! And still it stays a very good song (while Di sleeps...). That's magic! And what happened when she woke up? Was she anoyed you didn't make the food?
I enjoyed this song, Alan. Give Di my best regards, Hans

Alan, you never fail. Love your arrangements! Very cool Bossa theme tune. To my ears, it is ace! I wish there would be more Bossa oriented RT/RD material available in BIAB Enjoyed my listen! Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Hello Al-David,
Very well done instrumental. I didn't see any unpleasant interferences. I am amazed at the time you devote to complete your project. (speed). It's pleasant. What more.
Kindly regard

Very nice Al - very smooth, great guitar and a beautiful clean mix. I particularly liked the change when you switched the drums to brushes. Tasty. Another top-notch effort. Best wishes to you and Di. Cheers, Mike

I don't know Mark Knopfler's playing or anything (I'm really useless with these things - now ask me about classical music and I will feel a little more at home there, haha) ... BUT: once more, when the track started, I just felt compelled to put everything else I was doing down and just sit and listen ... without taking notes, without commenting, without that voice in our heads (well, mine at least) that keeps people like me busy with mental chatter, etc. ... just listen and soak in.
To my ears, the guitar was superb, as was the rest of the track. A musical journey which kept my attention throughout. Really enjoyed it - thanks so much for sharing. I know I'm late on commenting on this track (I've been away for a while), but I always jump, pleasantly surprised and excited, whenever I see a new track of yours on here. Please keep them coming if you can - it's a genuine joy to listen.

Tasteful, nuanced, elegant, with enough riffs and accents to keep it interesting throughout. Listened a couple times through to fully appreciate it and soak it in - always a good sign.
Thanks Alan

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."
