Just publish my latest tune. Nite at the club! I used a lot of stuff. Part A used a loop from Splice that I modified and deepened with other drums I created. I also implemented staccato synth/strings with the plugin Scaler (part A).
Part B uses Ez drummer and BIAB for - the bass - the electric piano chords and solo - the sax solos
I play the guitars
Mixed in reaper, Ozone 9, THU full plugin for my guitar sounds (2 sounds used).
Then created the clip.
This one took me a lot of work! Hope you will enjoy it!
Well, all your work was worth it because the result was excellent. TBH I can get bored with instrumentals but this held my interest throughout. Great work!

Man, what a treat! All that work you applied turned into one big heap of fun and entertainment. Your cuts are always very professional-sounding and have tons of commercial appeal. Loved that bass and hi-hat intro ... really cool! And the horn stabs are the perfect accent to everything else.
The variations are nicely blended and are mutually complimentary. Translation: Fantastic song that I truly enjoyed!
Look forward to more excellent cuts from you. Hope 2021 treats you in a most excellent way.
VERY modern jazz funk club of the 70s. I almost didn't listen though - the "title music" at the beginning is anodyne and almost turned me away. It might be better suited to the end. The kick drum sounds wrong in the quieter passage...all click and no thud. There're some lovely parts in this one but there're not enough of them repeated to ctreate some sense of SONG as opposed to jam. Nice mix.

I'm a sucker for great bass riffs and this one really does the job, wow.... A very fine and marvellously produced piece of funky stuff - a fantastic start into 2021. Thanks a lot and stay safe,

Excellent mix and a terrific video.
No doubt about the amount of planning and effort that went into this and we most enjoyed the outcome!

Thank you very much Stefan! Even if I play guitar, I do really love bass indeed, such a wonderful instrument! Thanks again, and happy new year!
Nice guitars. Super cool bass (wish you had noted what BIAB track that was...). Sax sound good. The brass stabs are cool (did you say where they came from?).

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
