Barbara's Waltz This is a country swing waltz with orchestral backup, named for a cherished member of our contradance community here in Phoenix who passed away last year. It's funny how melodies come to us. This tune had its beginnings years ago when I was warming up on my fiddle before a dance, practicing vibrato. The "A" part melody lurked in my brain for many years before another band member helped me come up with a "B" part. In my mind's eye, I always saw this as an orchestral piece. Last year, I plugged the chords into BIAB and discovered that the melody works quite well using country swing style _CWALTZP. The end result here is a mixture of country and orchestral, with many variations of the main melody. With the exception of the drum track, all tracks are midi, played using virtual instruments. Drums: BIAB NashClassicWaltzSw RealDrums Bass: Derived from BIAB RealBass 1122, converted to midi and played using AmpleGuitar Upright Bass plugin. Rhythm Guitar: Derived from BIAB RealGuitar 989, converted to midi and played using AmpleGuitar Martin plugin. Rhythm Piano: Played by me using Native Instruments Grandeur Steinway Grand plugin. A few measures were derived from BIAB RealPiano 1701, converted to midi and tweaked. Solo piano: Played by me using Native Instruments Grandeur plugin. Solo violin: Played by me using Native Instruments Stradivarius Violin plugin. Solo cello: Played by me using Native Instruments Stradivarius Cello plugin. Solo Guitar: Played by me using Native Instruments Session Guitarist Picked Acoustic plugin. Piccolo: Played by me using Spitfire Audio BBC Symphony plugin. Orchestral string section: Played by me using Spitfire Audio BBC Symphony plugin. Mixed and mastered using Cakewalk by Bandlab.

Really enjoyable production, one looks forward to the next instrument taking its turn, but it's great when the violin returns.

Really enjoyable production, one looks forward to the next instrument taking its turn, but it's great when the violin returns. Thanks! Originally the B part was to be played by the violin for one of the repeats, but I couldn't get a good sound for that part. Even with a decent virtual plugin for the violin, it's still difficult to get a good sounding violin melody. At least the intonation is always good that way! I'd have to use heavy Melodyne correction if I was playing, and I've not been able to achieve a good sound when recording my own violin. I wish I knew the secrets (besides having a better violin.)

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
