Oh, I love this, Alan. Some fun stuff to play and I love all the Latin stuff mixed together. I remember being asked when starting high school what language I wanted to take. I jumped at Latin and was so disappointed it wasn't a music class. The second year I took French.
This is so much fun, and the changes really make it a smooth flow. So relaxing and simultaneously energetic. You added some many important pieces to the band, yet managed to keep them all heard without overwhelming. Very well done!! Hi Marty ... Always great to hear from you. I also took French in high school - 2 years. I've fogotten most of it. I can speak enough to get in trouble, but not enough to get out of trouble. I'm partial to Latin music ... always have been. "Girl From Ipinema (sp?)" sold me. Glad you found uit fun yet relaxing. That's exactly what I was aiming for. Thanks so much! Alan

Relaxing yet rhythmic. A very good listen.
Good job on the mix. Enjoyed it much. Hi Bass Thumper ... Glad you enjoyed your listen. Latin rhythms are infectious! Thanks for the nice comments! Alan

Hi Alan,
A very catchy tune I must say.
And you 'trew'this together just like that in a 'split second'?
But I had to stick with Scott here, first some coffee. After a couple of hours maybe a bit of what you suggested ;-)
I was wondering why Andy wanted to go back to Greece after hearing this song. I was dreaming of somewhere in the Caribbeans...
Enjoyed it, Alan
Hans

It's amazing how that RT mashup supported by the Latin drum tracks yielded such a cool island vibe. Impressive indeed. And a pop ballad solo? It sounds like it was played just for this tune. Actually the whole band gives a well honed group feeling. No Coronas here but a tip of the soon to come IPA pint glass to ya.  Really well done and enjoyable! J&B

A really pleasant instrumental expertly crafted.
You really know how to get the best out of the tracks you use.

Alan, You "throw together" better than anyone. Your instrumentals always "sound like a song" instead of "sounds like a jam". The guitar solo is ALWAYS well thought out...like someone actually playing over the backing track... (Although the ending sounds like it caught him by surprise ) Solid mix (always). A good listen. fj Hi Floyd ... Thanks a bunch. Sometimes all the time I have is to throw something together in the evenings. And sometimes it works out OK. Appreciate the comment on the solo tracks. That ending will play all four bars no matter the setting. So, I just did what I could with it. Alan

Another excellent "throw together"!
I wish my songs would sound as good as your "throw togethers"!
Great backing track and some excellent chops. What more could one ask for?
Hi Mario .. Your songs soiund just fine - never a disappointment in your catalog. I appreciate the kind words. Regarding your reply to a lengthy comment I made on another forum: Technically, yes, Audacity could be considered a bare bones DAW. I tend to view it, however, as a multitrack recorder with a few whistles and bells. Anyway, I always appreciate your comments and thoughts. You're a very intelligent and creative composer. I often learn a thing or two from your myusic and other posts. Thanks! Alan

Alan,
For an afternoon "throw-together" this sounds pretty good! I've never had very good results quickly putting a track together, usually takes a few days experimenting! This sounds great with a real feel-good vibe! The mix is super also! I know when I hit play on your tunes, they are always going to be put together well!
Thanks, Torrey Hi Torrey .. I always look forward to your comments. The past two years, 75 - 80 percent of my posts have been throw-togethers with six or less hours devoted to the entire project. I appreciate all those other really comments you made. They put a smile on my face. Thanks again. Alan

As others have said, this has a great 'finished product' feel. Very enjoyable to listen to. Hey Bob! Thanks for the listen and supporting feedback. Alan

Hans Hans! How are you, my friend? It's great having you & your terrific music back on the forum. Because of two surgeries I've had this year, taking care of my wife, and attending to everyday chores, I have very little time for music. I also write books and have two that need to be finished soonm - one in February and one in March. One is almost finished (need 7 more chapters) and one is about half finished (n eeds 15 - 18 chapters to finish). So, I have to schedule my time very closely. Thank you for the kind comments! And ... Andi might know something about Greece you asnd I don't know! I was there for only one day in, I think, 1982. Take care ... Alan

I Just keep experimenting until I find something that sounds good to my ears, regardless of individual styles. It sometimes works out pretty good. Sometimes it make me laugh out loud! I'm delight the various tracks "gelled" in your ears. Thanks for letting me know. I'm not too big on IPAs - a bit strong and somewhat bitter for my taste. Best to b oth of you ... Alan

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."
