Inner Peace If you are not at peace with yourself you will never be at peace with the rest of the world. BiaB style = C2_Andy- EV8 Country Ballad Tempo = 75 I deleted the drums because the MIDI chart version of the RD was nothing like the actual RD. Drums - Steven Slate SSD-5 - preset Deluxe Funk - MIDI loops from Groove Monkey Bass = Kontakt - Kirk Hunter Virtuoso bass Cellos - bass track 8via - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter Virtuoso Cello Piano - EZ Keys Dream Machine - MK Dreams High strings - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter Virtuoso strings Low strings - high strings down one octave - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter Virtuoso strings Note - all tracks modified to my liking and hopefully yours also I am playing the following: My nylon String guitar My keyboard controller - cello solo - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter Lyric Series - Benning Cello My wind controller - Kontakt - Jubal Flute FXs - all but the drum tracks = Presonus Pro EQ All drum tracks - Wave's CLA drums All but the bass, cello and kick drum = Raum reverb My nylon string guitar and wind controlled flute - Presonus limiter Master - Presonus Pro EQ Let me know what you think.

This song has a really lovely, serene, and easy quality to it. It was definitely a very calming experience to listen to it. Great job!
Cheers,
Ember

Smooth and mellow as a lazy summer's day. I really love the tone of the Jubal Flute - it's got an almost saxophone feel. Nice mix and balance between the instruments. Well, the guitar comes in a bit loud at 2:35. The strings playing the counter line at the end worked really well. So... peaceful... so... sleepy.  Good work!

Just gotta tell you Mario
By devine intervention I was listening to your beautiful music whilst discovering that my daughters new puppy was chewing the laces on my prized Berluti shoes ! Your calming music probably saved the mutts life!
Artful and soulful music.
cheers
Gary.

Love the melody you are playing on the flute! Nice sound too.
Also the guitar part really works well.
Nice piece, Mario, enjoyed.

If you're not at peace with yourself, listen to this, That's my advice. The flute floats me away and that sweet guitar makes me glad I did. Then the flute brings me higher --or lower, can't tell which-- and each new horizon becomes clearer. Beautiful, Mario.

Mario,
Excellent.
All the parts are well done. Cool flute, smooth nylon. Everything fits. Really nice mix.
Beautiful.

Mario,
Good deal! Nice playing on your wind controller. Nylon guitar has a very nice line, kind of slow Bossa motif.
Since you are open to comments, here is my 3 cents. I think from 1:04 to 1:40 strings overpowering guitar... And I would prefer to hear more of that guitar in that segment. Also a spike in a guitar, which David mentioned. Other than that, very nice.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

The flute is very human voice like...nice.
Your nylon guitar playing is lovely but yes that 1st phrase at 2.30 odd is loud and is visually marked on the wave form too. It alters the perceived volume of the phrases after it.
I'm not sure this needed the percussion so far forward but that's not a deal breaker anyway.
Cheers

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."
