You nailed the vibe here. Nice arrangement.

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

Whoa... I started typing at about 140BPM, and quickly settled down to a mere 40. Now I'm sleep-surfing. Man, that flute sounds as if it was played by Morpheus himself. Mario, you are SOOO good at creating feelings with music.


Enjoy whatever happens!

KONA (King Of New Age) strikes again!

Interesting to have the nylon play the piano part and a harp play the guitar part.
Nice work with the controller (as always).

Good mix.

Meditative.

I'm a big fan of relaxing Chillout/New Age music, so I like it. A lot!

The flute melody is just beautiful!

Mario, your atmospheric synth work is very cool...I don't think it needs to be tethered by a drum track at all.

Hi MarioD,

nice instrumental composition full of sweetness. This is what pleases the ear. It's well done. The orchestration is perfect and the flute is very realistic. I appreciated. It is for me one of your best instrumental compositions. Well done.

Hi Mario ...

Enchanting and ethereal. I think I like this as much as anything you've posted in a while. You post the best New Age music on the forum.

This is so relaxing. And you have the perfect title for it. I always enjoy your music. Thanks for the journey ... Now to find my way back to reality. Well, maybe I won't - I'll just stay here a while longer.

Alan

Good stuff, I quite enjoyed it. You should think seriously about getting a Ketron SD2. They have a Jethro Tull flute that is very percussive and breathy. The horns on it are amazing. I'd love to hear what you could do with it.

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
