I'm uploading new soundscape to my beloved site. The title is "Born to die" or more exactly, To born, to life and to die. The cycle of life is joyful but also sad. With the covid, I lost some very dear friends and I pay tribute to them with this unambiguous soundtrack but where I tried to share emotions. My working method is always the same. I put 4 minor chords in my vst biab. I isolated one or more lines of notes and I used vsts. I reworked some lines taking inspiration from certain realtrack midi files like the mandolin where I spotted the arpeggio areas to use them with harp and violins vst. Of course when I start from an instrument, I try to adapt it to the chosen vst. It's a sad melody. Thank you in advance, to the courageous listeners who will leave me a positive or negative comment on this musical piece.
It is just incredible you can get the sounds get. The production on this song is first class. The music just floated back and forth from speaker to speaker I am a huge fan of your music.
Thank you for your nice comment which makes me happy. This background music does not seem to meet the expectations of club members. I am thinking of withdrawing it to come back with compositions better suited for this musical platform.
Hi Derochette outstanding peace!! very creative and engaging all the way, very clear and crisp mix! I hope to hear more thanks for sharing Eric

Jani, To be born, to live and to die... Naître, vivre et mourir... Geboren zu werden, zu leben und zu sterben... 出生、生活和死亡... Να γεννηθείς, να ζήσεις και να πεθάνεις... Да се родиш, да живиш и да умреш... Được sinh ra, sống và chết...
It translates well. The arpeggios at the beginning are cool and their return adds some excellent punctuation i your statement about the basic cycle. The bitter sweet string lines on the last passage remind me of the soundtrack of Shooting The Past - Adrian Johnston's work for Poliakoff's miniseries productions is always evocative and 1st class...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wobZ5jGL0No

Magnificent piece. The emotions are laid bare in the music. Where others like me use lyrics to convey emotion, you have the ability to convey your thoughts and feelings effectively through your music.
Thank you for the Adrian Johnston youtube link. He's a very good composer. It made me happy that you appreciated and I thank you for the time you devoted to me for this nice comment.
Thank you for your description which fits well with my way of working. I'm not a good singer and a poet so I try to do the best I can with ambiences and instrumental sounds.
Oh, man, Derochette. You are so good at these musical landscapes. What a great, creative sound. This is the kind of stuff that makes good movies great, and makes the instrumental soundtrack worth it.

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks
MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:
There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:
1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track
Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2023 for Windows is Overflowing with Features!
Dennis posted his very thorough Band-in-a-Box® review recently, where he dives into some of the new features added with version 2023: Sound-Guy's Band-in-a-Box Review
Read his thoughts on the Download & Install Manager, partial track regeneration, Playable RealTracks, Audio Editing, the addition of SynthMaster, the VST DAW Plugin, and more!
"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is, without negative connotation, a monster of a program. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. No DAW can do some of the things BIAB does, while BIAB can do a lot that DAWs do."
