Interesting use of movie snippets. Good mix, and there is a lot in there. The sax could be louder, and the melody maker is probably too loud --just opinions. Well done, Mark.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Mark,

A long time I did not hear from you, but probably you were on the forum and I was not.
I like what I heard here from you. The title was well chosen because when I head the (female) vocals I thought "what did you say"
You are always very creative with sound. This song is no exception and the simple melody worked out just nice.
It's an intriguing song and in a way much too short!
Enjoyed it.
I also noticed you had another bulldog. Great!

Mark, this sounds great.

I think the sax should be as loud as the lead.

I liked those "vocal" inserts - brilliant

I'm not someone who actively listens to Lo-Fi Hip-Hop, but I sometimes listen to it as background music when I'm sitting at the computer because it relaxes me.
Nicely done!

Hello Mark,
I find the synthetic snare a bit loud & the tick tick a little distracting.
I really like what's happening in the soundscape and can imagine it with a more Massive Attack/Mezzanine or Portishead rhythm.

Mark ...

This is not a genre I listen to very often. But this was very entertaining and sounded good in my ears! Nicely done!

Smooth as velvet. Bring the sax up a bit and the lead instrument down just a tad. Nice pad work. Nice job...could be commercial with some tweaks.

Very creative Mark.

The use of the snippets is interesting and effective.

We do agree that the sax could come up ... it's a good mix that sets up up a nice soundstage on our monitors.

Enjoyed it,

J&B

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."
