Strolling at the Sock Hop If you are old enough to remember sock hops and the stroll then this might bring back memories. Remember when just before the dance the gym was decorated with a ton of crepe paper so it looked just like a gym decorated in crepe paper? BiaB style = Vinyl 33 New Orleans Rock n Roll Tempo = 85 BPM Bass - Ample - preset - P-Bass Guitar = Kontakt - preset - Jazz Guitar Piano & Strings - EZKeys - upright piano - preset standard Drums - Steven Slate's SSD-5 - Vintage drums I am playing the lap steel via my MIDI keyboard controller and the tenor sax via my wind controller. Many thanx to Stan the Cornet Man. He used to be on the forums but hasn't posted in a long time. I helped him with BiaB and other music programs. He bought a EWI-USB back when I did. He only played it a couple of times. The EWI-USB survived a California fire and many moves. When he found out about mine he very generously gave me his. It took a while to get it into working order as it needed a XP machine in order to set it up. Again many thanx to a man I never have personally met, Stan.
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.

Hi Mario,
I remember sock hops, but they were on their way out by the time I reached that age, second half of the 60's I guess.
You captured the vibe pretty good I think. Lap steel sounds very realistic! Could be a bit louder in the mix for my tastes. And the sax is right on the money.
Nice!

Mario,
This definitely has that "Sleep Walk" sound... A bit 50s sliding into the 60s. So cool!

Ah, that New Orleans stroll. Man, you take us back. This could be in any movie of the 50s. I can smell the sawdust on the gym floor. That lapsteel and sax sound so good. And you kept it under 3 minutes for airtime. Wait, in the 50s it was 2:30, right? Hehe. It'll have to wait for FM. Always a treat, Mario!!

Great job Mario, definately has that sock hop vibe. You played that lap steel with perfection.
And the story about Stan is neat.

Mario, Had to google Sock Hop to get visuals  Fun arrangement. Very realistic sax. I was playing it in a car today, sounds very good (I usually test "drive" my mixes in the car). Good one! Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Nice! Thanx so much Dave. I try to get my emulations are realistic as possible. Thanx for commenting on that.

Bob Thanx Bob. I was listening to and playing 50's and 60's songs in the mid to late 60's. Great eras for music!

Excellent tune. Very nostalgic. Good mix. You got that piano working nicely.
Loved that drum intro too!

I'm definitely too young to remember, but I still like the song, it's pretty cool what you create with those MIDI controllers.

Mario,
I had a definite idea of what sounds I might hear before clicking on the tune just based on your very appropriate title . . . and I wasn’t disappointed. That piano really captures the mood and feel and carries the song for me. Great playing on the lap steel. And that sax is the topper . . . Wow you’ve really capture the right sound and mood here. Excellent!
My best to you,
Deej

The modified doo-wop puts it right into that era. The sleepwalk was just the right distraction to sneak a little squeeze in, which I won't say she wasn't expecting. The jazz sax works in fine.

Loved that drum intro too! Thanx so much. That drum intro was just the last couple of beats from a B fill. That option is in the count-in window. I'm definitely too young to remember, but I still like the song, it's pretty cool what you create with those MIDI controllers. Thanx so much for listening and commenting. I have a lot of fun as well as a good amount of frustration with my MIDI controllers

Deej Thanx so much Deej for this very kind review. I was just listening to various BiaB styles and when I heard that one I immediately knew what I wanted to do with it. I'm glad that you liked it.

Is the girl wearing a plaid skirt, bobby socks and saddle shoes, and one of those creamy soft cashmere sweaters with her hair in a bow?
Bright red lipstick and sandy blonde hair? And winking?
If so, I am hopping in the DeLorean right now.
0h wait a minute. Sounds like a famous movie. Never mind.

Yes, she is wearing all of those items and luscious red lipstick. Plus she loves my blue suede shoes! Thanx for listening David.

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."
