LOST IN AMERICA_David Snyder

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs4/lost-in-america

Now for something totally different.

I am digging that Synthmaster synth that came with BIAB 2023 and am probably going to be messing with that a lot and doing a whole lot more instrumentals in the next few months, as I am having a blast just playing the guitar.

It occurs to me that it might make sense to do an entire album in this vein, with this kind of sound.

It is a helluva lot of fun.

Also, feel free to visit me on Apple Music (or Spotify) and give me some clicks!

And if anyone wants to hit me up/friend me etc. on Facebook or Instagram or both, go for it! I need an excuse to create more content!! Those links Are below.

(P.S., I had to create another Soundcloud because I ran out of space again, so anyone following will have to re-follow. )

David,

This sounds great. Love the tempo increase about 1/4 the way in. Love the production as well - sounds very full and perfectly mixed.

Yes!! A whole album. Man, this is wild. The guitar is really cool. All the fun you have making this surely comes out in the result. I really like your choices of what comes in and where it goes. Nicely built. Still, there is room for vocals --not necessarily lyrics, but vocals as instruments.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Jeff Beck passed away Jan 10, 2023 and they finally are releasing this song now? Well at least they did. You can tell by his tone and style there was no other like him.

This something different was/is something awesome!

Thanks for sharing your talents David. smile

David, yes that Synthmaster is fantastic. You might want to consider getting the entire Synthmaster package; IMHO it is well worth it.

Yes, a touch of Jeff Beck in this one, and that is a huge compliment.

Good chops and mix.

Yes go for the full album.

PS-you have given me some ideas with this song.

Hi, David.

Nice build, good job maintaining the momentum to the end.

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

Another out-of-the-box experience on this forum, if asked whose song from this forum this is, I wouldn't have guessed. But, of course, I should have guessed, the innovating multitalent DS strikes again. Always full of surprises, this is weird and original, the future of music - the combination of synth sounds, all those bass ones and that special guitar playing makes this something extra ordinary like from another dimension or from another galaxy. Great mix also, although I would have mixed the drums louder. Whole album of these jewels sounds like an excellent idea, maybe with a title Lost In Universe smile

I saw Beck with the Jan Hammer group so can understand the observation.
Sounds like you had fun David.
It was an interesting thing to listen to.

Hi David,

I think the guitar on top of the synth works really well.

Good piece, I like the way you continue to build the intensity. Looking forward to hearing you do more of these!

That Synthmaster sounds like an awesome toy. I have to check it out, I didnt even know I had it with BIAB. Like what you did with it here, especially when the groove kicks it. Nice Guitar work as well. Sounds great

Another successful outta-the-Box experiment/experience.
Took me to so many different places. Psychedelic.

Synthmaster just had a sale nine-for-one expansion sale ($19). then dropped it to 5-for-one (they would never honor the price I had in my cart to buy them all for $27 - that felt so wrong)... SO keep an eye out for sales.
(I've gotten several previously and usually find 5 or 6 sounds that I think I'll use down the road somewhere...)

Keep it up!

Very Beckish ... been fans for decades.

And as Firesong said:
"it sounds like a soundtrack from an urban detective movie...it creates an image of action and adventure!"

Indeed.

Well done ... sounds like you are having a lot of fun with this.

As is becoming the norm for you, a very interesting, unique, and borderline certifiable excursion into sonic mayhem.

Good job on the creativity contained therein.

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."
