This was interesting - Knopfler-esqe riffs plus synths and organs.
That's a combination I really haven't heard before.
Cool!

Cool guitar riffs. I was unsure about the synths but they were very cool as well. Super playing...

Hi Andi,
Thanks for your comments,
No, I have never investigated "Multi-Riff" and have no clue what to do with it. I just loaded DIR-FSL.STY and let the solo guitar do its thing. I assume the results are due the chord progressions chosen.
Cheers,
Ghostgum

An enjoyable piece. Driven, lots of energy.
Those Dire tracks are so distinctively Dire-ish. They really make it sound like you have Mark Knopfler playing for you.
Nicely mixed.

Hi Ghostgum.
This is such a great listen.
I'm sitting here with my headphones on and really enjoying where you're taking me.
I love the instruments, the mix, the arrangement and the production.
You've done a great job!
All the best, Noel

All the best, Noel Thanks, Noel. Coming from someone with your expertise, that in not faint praise. You were listening to version 1. You might prefer version 3: https://soundcloud.com/user-427542889/an-element-of-risk-1Cheers Ghostgum

Hello Ghostgum,
Upbeat and tasty! The tone of the solo guitar is completely different, but the overall sound reminds me of The Ventures. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

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."
