Indian Summer Sunset As you sit under an old oak tree over looking a great lake you are watching the sunset as you play your American Indian wooden flute to the repetitive sounds of native drums that you hear in your head. I recently purchased an inexpensive wooden flute VSTi called Apache. I recorded the track using my wind controller only to find out it did not follow the CC2 volume data. Thus after converting the MIDI to a wav I had to manually input the volume automation, a real pain. BiaB Style - Oort Spacey Ambient Synth. Tempo - 65 BPM I deleted the bass and string tracks Piano - Zak - preset - Tiny Notes Utility Chord Track - Serenity - preset - Aeolus RT 3621 - Guitar Electric Rhythm RD - World Peckketa Slow 16th I am playing my Squire P-Bass guitar and via my wind controller the wooden flute. As always all comments welcomed.

Mario,
This is an excellent piece of music. One of my new favorites from you.
The production is superb - so polished and mixed to perfection.
Loved it!

A relaxing piece of music, if a bit long. I'd like to hear your bass more, and perhaps some changes on drumming here and there. To my ears it really needs more bottom end (I'm listening on decent headphones). After a while the hand drum just gets too repetitive for me.
Minor criticisms. Keep or sweep...

Nice one Mario - as a bassist I echo Redeye's request for more bottom end.
Cheers

Very atmospherically pleasing. I’m listening on an iPad so can’t comment on the bottom end.

Well done ... most contemplative.
Your performances and the mix sound great on our monitors.
We both felt your written imagery well fit the song's vibe.
Enjoyed it!

Hi Mario,
If I could play a flute, I would do exactly what you said;
sit under a tree and make a melody.
But I'm pretty sure I than won't end up with something like your beautiful song!
So probably I would only sit under that tree and listen time after time to your song instead.
You did a great job, I loved the melody, the instruments and percussion.
So relaxing and that's what I need now the most.
Thanks Mario!
Hans

Cool. Relaxing. Spiritual. There was just four of us on adventure through a Navajo-owned canyon in Arizona, and our guide played his flute in the echoing walls. You would have fit right in, Mario. Beautifully played with great tone. Thank you.

Minor criticisms. Keep or sweep... I did listen again and you are right it is a little weak on the bass side of things. thanx for pointing that out. The drums are real drums and yes they are repetitive, thus my comments in my original message. I usually work with MIDI drums but I don't have the kind of drums that were in the RD so I just left the entire track in the song. Nice one Mario - as a bassist I echo Redeye's request for more bottom end.
I agree Ray, see above.

Hans Hans, I'm sure you would do much better at coming up with a flute song than I did. Thanx for this wonderful review.

Nothing to add that hasn't been said. Exactly as described. Nice work!  Bummer about having to manually enter the MIDI data.

Apache sounds interesting, hope to hear it more.
That rhythmic bed is nice, quite difficult to locate it geographically, but that makes it mystical and works well together with the flute.
The chord progression is beautifully calming. I guess you have a very nice view over the lake and lots of oak trees to sit under, because they inspire you for these lovely spiritual journeys, reminding me music of Kitaro.

Thanx so much Janne. The only place where I can sit under an old oak tree overlooking a lake is in my mind, although I am only 5 miles (8 kilometers) from Lake Ontario. Kitaro is one of my favorite new age composers so thanx for that comment, even though I am no wheres near his abilities.

Mario,
Definitely one of your top tracks this year to my taste. Very meditative. Awesome job on your wind controller. As a listener, I have not noticed any issues with it, so your adjustments feel very natural. Good mix. Enjoyed this one and thank you for sharing.
Misha.
P.S. I am pretty sure percussion is by Keita Ogawa, one of my favorite artists who recorded for BIAB.

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."
