Brian,

A pleasant listen. Nicely mixed. I particularly liked the pan flute...

Always nice when an instrumental has a recurring theme to latch on to... well done.

Nice composition. Liked the mandolin and talk between pan pipes and flute.
Mixed and arranged very well. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Hi Brian,

Yes - very nice tune and well played.

I thought a couple of times you were going to break into "Ghost Riders In The Sky" - the Duane Eddy version. One of my favorites.

Maybe you could put a little extra effect on your guitar (Duane Eddy sound).

Best Regards
Nigel

Hi Brian,

Esperanza (Hope) lives up to its title.
Especially when the flutes come in. Then the song comes more to life.
The solo guitar seems to play brighter from that moment. Well composed and played!

I like it,
Hans

What a nice ride. Sure has that fun gallop of the best theme songs. Very well created, played and mixed, Brian. A great choice of instruments and creatively intertwined.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Ghostgum, this is like something out of an old western movie and I love it! Love the instrument selections and the overall final sound! Great job with the guitar parts! The Takamine sounds pretty good to me! Thanks, Torrey

Thanks to all the BIAB reviewers for your positive feedback. Since uploading this track I have made some minor adjustments in the last few bars - the inclusion of some orchestral percussion to provide a little added drama. wink

Move over Morricone! (I was just waiting for the trumpet smile ). Very cinematic and enjoyable, Brian.

Very cinematic in a western way.

Outstanding tone and playing ... mesmerizing.

And topped off with an excellent mix.

Kudos!

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."

Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
