Lovely composition and guitar performances.

Nice tone on the guitars...sax seemed a bit low to my old ears smile

A fine listen over morning coffee!

Hi Ghostgum,

It's a very pleasant instrumental music that you offer us. I really like the sound of your guitar. Everything is well mixed and spatialized. Well done.

Darned it, Derochette used "pleasant" before I did.

Because that's exactly what it is. Nice backing, nice leads.

I agree with J&B that the sax seems a bit in the background, but then, I've erred the other way before, so you made a better choice than I did!

Doesn't get much more mellow than that! laugh

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

Thanks, J&B. I have taken your astute observations on board. The revised version has beefed-up sax (+4db). I have also redesigned the intro (changed the melody line and replaced the harmonica with a grand piano).

Here 'tis:

Thanks, dcuny. You're on the same wavelength as J&B! I trust the alterations I've made have hit the mark.

Hrm... The version I listened to has what appears to be a harmonica/accordion in the intro, and the sax is still not that upfront.

But it's still really pretty! laugh

Clean, fresh delivery.

Gently sentimental, and the more I listened, the more I was absorbed by the quality. Simplistically perfect, (that's meant as a genuine compliment).

Everything fits together perfectly.

That motif you're playing on guitar is gorgeous! Stayed in my head in a really nice way. The whole thing was good. Nice job.

Thanks, TuneMonger. I never ceased to be amazed how when you add a chord progression to the BIAM real tracks a motif or an accompaniment seems to suggest itself. It simplifies the process of composition to a remarkable degree.
With the exception of the intro, this piece was done in less than a day.

P.S. This particular guitar was shipped to me last month. It's my first experience with a 'classical' and I'm still getting used to it.

Ghostgum,

What a pleasant listen this is . . . falls soft and easy on the ears. That rhythm guitar and the shakers hold this all together, allowing the solos to really shine throughout. Really well done!

All my best,

Deej

I agree that version 2 is better, Greg.
Unfortunately, version 1 goes live on community radio in Australia on Monday and it's too late to change it frown
Should have waited until the BIAB forum feedback was in before I submitted it!

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."
