This is a blues I just came up with, nothing new other than trying the women's vocals. let me know what you think
Solace Blues

Style is _MORASS.STY (Morass Baritone Harmonica Blues)

Added some stuff to it and change the original Upright bass for an electric one which after reading the suggestions it seemed more suitable for the tune. Thanks to all.

Hi Mike ...

Loved the intro with the harmonica. And the lead guitar is sweet. The femme voices work for me. Liked it a lot.

I do think it could use a little more bottom. I'd bring the bass up a bit and the drums just a tad. But, it was a great listen as is. Take care ...

I agree with Alan - a few more db on the bass would make it a bit more immersive. The intro was great but I found the harmonicas a little intrusive later on (from 0.55 onward). The guitar lead was less busy and seemed to fit much better.


My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile

Really liked the beat and I thought the vocals were a very nice touch. I also agree with upping the bass a little. Neat little blues tune!

I used this harmonica track in one of my songs, haha ... great to hear it here! That player is genius, he has SO much to say.

Apart from all that: what a great track! I wouldn't know how to advise you on post-production matters, but I enjoyed the writing! Excellent - well done!

Thank you all for the suggestions, I went ahead a change the upright bass original in the style and made some other changes. I think it sound a little better now.

Cheers

Great track! I like both the instruments and the vocals, but I think the vocals get buried a bit too deep behind the instruments. Also, the lead-in drums feel unnecessary.

Nice blues experiment.

The vocals work and the guitar sounds good.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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."
