Same Bar Same City a Few Beers Later

A sequel to After Hours in the Big City.

All tracks are basically first takes. There are a few warts in here but considering the title I decided to let them ride.

BiaB style = Miles Slow Funk (Fusion)
Tempo = 100

I deleted all but the drums; the drums are verbatim. I am playing everything else.

Drums - various Steven Slate SSD5 drums

Rhythm guitar - Casio MG510 - with wah wah straight into mixing board - fx- compression

Lead guitar - Casio MG510 - fx-Amplitube 5 - preset - ping pong - compression

B3 - B4II -preset - soul expression - via my keyboard controller

Trumpet-Kontakt - preset - Screaming Trumpet - via my wind controller -fx Raum reverb - preset sports hall

Alto sax - Swam - preset - alto sax - - via my wind controller -fx Raum reverb - preset sports hall

Bass - Squire P-Bass - fx - compression

Let me know how you liked or disliked this little jam.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

I love it. Impressive how good and natural you got the trumpet and alto to sound.
Yes, it sounds like a jam, but that is a good thing... it sounds like a live performance (which it somehow is...) smile

Thanks a lot for sharing, Mario!

Sounds good! With a title like that, I would have expected the players to be a bit less... sober. wink

I think the trumpet sounded better here than in the prior song.

The balance of the horn section vs. the other instruments seemed to be a bit mismatched.

Fun tune!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanx David. This is a different trumpet sound (screaming trumpet) than the last one (chapman trumpet). Note that the sax and trumpet players were drunker then the others and were pegging the mix needle on this one. I'll have a talk with them. Thanx for bringing that up.

Thanx so much for these nice comments Scott. I am still trying to learn that wind controller. I'm doing less editing now but I'm still doing some.

quite an accomplishment to play everything and do it so well! My hat's off to you Mario.

Regarding the mention of any warts: you set it up pretty well. These guys have been up all night and had (WHO knows how many?) beers... I'm impressed. They must be pros.

You must be a keyboard wizard to get it like that, Mario.

Very nice job. And the title.... been there and done that a few times. Well... maybe more than a few times. I remember this one time down in.... nahhhh, you don't want to hear that story.....

Good job

I barely drink but I'd up it to a fifth a day if I could play ONE of
these tracks much less the whole damn tune.

A lotta tech and talent.

Cool.

A well constructed funky piece of fun.

Well done.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
