Hello, 'ghostgum'...

The Real Style and Real Tracks you chose unleashed a great deal of exotic rhythmic energy behind the warm, liquid, one-note playing style of your lead guitar track. The flamenco feel conjured up visions of stylish dancers tapping out traditional steps that tell colorful, ancient tales of adventure and romance. Applause for this diverting instrumental production!

Hi, Brian.

Nice track! Pleasant melody, nice arrangement.

I'm not exactly sure why, but I think starting at 1:50, the guitar lead sat in the track a bit better than the other leads. Maybe it was just the register?

Any, good work! The "Oooohs" work really well, too.

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

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the feedback. I think the stanza you're referring to works better because the lead guitar is playing five notes to the bar instead of four earlier in the piece. Later iterations might employ the five-note pattern throughout.

Cool chops and tones with the nylon.

I like the way you mixed it out front ... very engaging.

Fun and well done ... and a bit different from Down At Maverick's Bar!

PS Cool title smile

Thanks, Scott. I'm never quite sure about the mix because the difference between headphone and large speaker sounds is quite significant.

Thanks, bloc-head. I'm enjoying the Takamine very much. The nylon tones seem more at home than the steel-string in these Latin arrangements.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Thanks, J&B. There's a rumor that catchy titles attract more plays.

Who can ever forget these classics? --

"Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict" (Pink Floyd)

"A Simple Desultory Philippic (or How I Was Lyndon Johnsoned into Submission)" (Paul Simon)

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."

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
