Soulfully soothing sounds, Carl. A great example of how effective a sparse bass can add so much. "Less is more" seems to be a lesson I only understand intellectually, but not practically. It doesn't seem to seep into my playing. Your playing, however, is superb on each instrument, and your mix allows the listeners' ears to choose & change the part they hear. That makes it so much more enjoyable to listen to over and over. Thanks.

Hi Marty, I make music for 2 reasons - 1: because 'I have to' for some reason, and 2: in the hope that someone somewhere will like and/or be moved by what I do!
Your comment absolutely made my day - thanks so much Marty, chuffed you like my tune!!
Keep well, all the best - Carl

I liked the simple but strong musical motif you began with. Set everything else up beautifully. I wish I was good with MIDI like this, I would be 10x more creative. Very well done!

Hi TuneMonger - thanks a lot for your kind comment!!
I just use Logic Pro X as a multitrack recorder really - the only MIDI I use is the virtual instruments like piano, strings, bass etc with the addition in this case of BB drums. The extra advantage with using a DAW of course is the ability to use effects plugins for both mixing and mastering - like I said elsewhere yesterday, we're so very lucky having these sophisticated DAWs.
Every real & virtual instrument is actually played as it's recorded - the DAW helps a lot with getting some of the timing right, unfortunately my personal timing is atrocious but I do my best.
Thank you for listening, all the best - Carl

Hello camog,
Composition that immerses us in a cozy atmosphere for lovers at the end of the evening. It's very pleasant and the lead guitar is well played. It's a very neat piece in its arrangement. This is what makes all its charm.
Kindly regard

Impressive on every level. Lovely sounding nylon guitar sensitively played. Wonderful accompaniment you put together - all the instruments well played.
A real pro level instrumental.

RealBand® Works Great in Windows® 11!
Here's an introductory look at RealBand® running on the preview version of Windows® 11!
Watch the video.
Customers LOVE Band-in-a-Box® 2021!
Check out some of the latest Band-in-a-Box® feedback we've received:
"There's a saying 'Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.' That's exactly what my friend did in 1990. He taught me how to use BIAB and I've used it hundreds of time to do arraignment and to jam with any style band."
"Love BIAB. I use it daily. Their support is great too!"
"RealTracks are amazing!!! I use BIAB for backtracks in my solo act... Still using the basic package and it's all need..."
"I have used Band in A Box for many years. If it would have been around when I was young, I would have been a much better musician. I use it for all my songs I have written and recorded. With Band In A Box I can sit in my room and sound like a whole band without having to put up with them!"
"If you know something about music and take the time to learn the program, you can make it do some amazing things. It is a great help to songwriters who want to demo their song without paying for studio time. It makes changes and tweaks much easier as well."
"Been using it for so many years. It's a great tool. The instruments that I don't have or play make up the void and it saves so much time. I use this program for every song I write."
"Great tool for the songwriter!"
"An essential part of my studio! I write songs on piano, but I'm not a pianist by a long way. BIAB is like having a roomful of session players in your studio, and just the simple act of taking your basic idea and hearing a skilled pianist play it presents so many new ideas and options you hadn't thought of."
"Powerful, easy to use, inexpensive and they even split the modest payments up if you want. No complaints. Lots of satisfaction."
"I added a steel guitar to a fully produced original. He followed every change like he was in the studio reading the chart. Fascinating technology!"
"I have used it to make backing tracks for six CD's with about 12 songs on each. They make a great gift!"
"It's simply a necessity - buy it now - the staff and support do a great job as well!"
"A great tool for us songwriters!"
"I LOVE Band-in-a-Box!"
"I see it as a very worthwhile investment. In fact, from initial purchase about 8 years ago, using the backing tracks I have made, my income from that investment has returned over 5,000% on the investment!"
continued...

Band-in-a-Box® - Boxing Clever - Sound on Sound #TBT
Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® is more than 30 years old? I stumbled across this 1990 magazine article explaining the relatively new program, and think it's an enjoyable read for any Band-in-a-Box user - it really shows that we are always listening to user feedback when developing our program!
Read the article: Boxing Clever: Band-In-A-Box Software
A few of my favorite statements:
"The intention of PG Music's Band-In-A-Box package is to couple that speed and convenience with the improved flexibility of the personal computer. Versions are available for the Atari ST, Mac, and PC compatibles. Have the programmers succeeded? And can they rid themselves of the stigma of the auto-accompaniment section? Given the above state of affairs, the first hurdle that the program has to overcome is one of acceptance and, frankly, a name like 'Band-In-A-Box' is a bad start."
(I think our name was a great start!)
"The final results are, to say the least, impressive. Band-In-A-Box achieves something that most hardwired auto-accompaniment sections have never been able to do - inject a degree of feel into the music. It really does sound more human than so many of the computer generated pieces I've heard."
"...I'm quite convinced that PG Music will have a winner on their hands. This is one piece of software that you can get more out of than you put in."
