Hi Mike,

I always like your music. No exception here. A very nice tune - softly funky and smooth

The only thing I noticed is the acoustic piano is playing a swing melody to an even-based composition. Thus, sometimes it seemed a little off. But everything else is stellar and very enjoyable. I really enjoyed the guitar lead!

Take care.

Alan

I really like the style and the instruments. Binary ternary mixing is bold.

Brilliant, slick, professional - as with all of your songs/tracks. Love that piano, in there. The electric guitar entry is just magic. Beautifully melodic, despite not having an obvious melody track. Nice piano return / recapitulation. Absolutely loved it.

Thank you my friends, always good to hear from you all.
The piano issue, I realize disparity of signatures but after a couple of plays I said, what the heck, I'm going for it. Like Alan said "is a little off" so I just went for it.
Cheers

Mike B.

Mike, no boundaries is the perfect title for this gem.
Super mix.
FWIW - I thought the piano was way to busy to call this smooth jazz. IMHO it sounded more like an after hours jam session.
BUT that did not detract from the fact that I really liked it.
Great work!

Hi, Mike.

As you said, smooth and easy going. Nice mix, too!

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

Mike, this sounds super funky and cool! Love your arrangement and mix. Always amazes me how well you and a few others can weave very listenable long instrumentals out of BiaB. Super job, again!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
