Very pretty. There are a couple of spots where the delayed signal confuses the flow, like right on 30 seconds, but that doesn't happen often. Lovely tone and an interesting band.

We like it Scott.
This could be part of a soundtrack for a sci-fi western movie.
Your tone is excellent. Those two amps and mic nailed it.
Although your midi work is way, way above our production pay grades and understanding we thought it sounded excellent.
Well done,
J&B

How about Opus Magnificus, Scott? Call it anything you want, and it will sound as sweet. Hey, that's a rephrasing of The Bard. What a captivating tone, man. Great job on all that background stuff too. Very supportive.

Scott...Great piece...I like the ethereal feel of the synths...your guitar has a haunting quality to it...kind of a "spaghettis western" sound...The Good ,The Bad and The Ugly, For a Few Dollars More, etc. background soundtrack...very cool!

Very captivating title takes me to paradise, the beautiful melody moves lively in the cool instrumentation. I really like the synth landscape, reminds me of Kitaro.

Very pretty. There are a couple of spots where the delayed signal confuses the flow, like right on 30 seconds, but that doesn't happen often. Lovely tone and an interesting band. Thanks Ray for checking out the song. I'll check out the delays between the different tracks and see if I can pin point what is different. Some of the loops and midi instruments were providing there own delays so this might be wear you are hearing the inconsistencies. Glad you liked the song. Hi Scott Very relaxing song The name fits well Great guitar sound and played with a lot of feeling Very good work Scott Many greetings Andi ;-) Thanks Andi for checking out the song. This song was actually created when the temperature outside was -30 C. The wind was howling and I was dreaming of a warm island with a blue lagoon. Glad you liked the song.

A pretty nicely composed piece. Lots of nice elements, and a soothing well played guitar part.
Good stuff.

J&B Thanks Janice and Bud. I was deep into playing my keyboards when I was developing this song. The song came rather fast after listening to the whales biab style. Really glad you liked the song.

Scott, Cinematic and spacey with the synth adding some cool washes behind your fine guitar. Very enjoyable mood music!

I've been away for several days, but this was a good one to come back to! Very inventive piece. A lot of neat sounds in the back with a beautiful guitar up front = hard to beat.

Hi Scot,
This is beautiful music. In the beginning I really could imagine being in a blue lagoon. But this music could also be used for a movie about nature. Love it!

Your comments are very much appreciated and really glad you like the song.

Thanks Dan My keyboard playing comes and goes in cycles. Really glad you like the song. This song kind of feel together pretty quick. I think the new 2022 styles helped this on along. Very captivating title takes me to paradise, the beautiful melody moves lively in the cool instrumentation. I really like the synth landscape, reminds me of Kitaro.
Janne Thanks Janne for checking out the song. I was not aware of Kitaro thanks for the comparison. I am listening to him now. Very pretty music

Outstanding tone and chops backed by the perfect backing tracks.
Janne mentioned Kitaro and I agree with him
Loved it.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

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."
