21 tracks?
Man that is light years above our mix pay grade.
We felt your SC comment “… cerebral film piece, Dramatic but cautiously uplifting” was a great description of what we heard.
What to say other than amazing and very well produced. Your friend is lucky.
Enjoyed it!
J&B
PS Just read your comments on Cold Plate … you do realize Bud is older than you? 😀

Eastern chillout with a touch of Tangerine Dream synthesizer flair.
I like that! Mr. Thomas ... I love the Tangerine Dream analogy! They pretty much introduced the world to legit synth music. I always liked their song "Raum". Thanks for the kindness! Alan

Nice as ambient music for the puporses your friend wants, but I was surprised that the dizi was so low on gain. Thanks for dropping in for a listen. The flute was a bit more forward when I presented the song to him. He wanted it softer, so this is where he was satisfied. I would agree with you, though. But he signed the check! Thanks again, Alan

Alan, you are a mix master. How did you get all of those tracks to blend like you did?
I also liked the Tangerine Dream background.
Super leads and great instrumentation.
I liked it! Hi Mario, The biggest challenge in the mixing process was their respective places, both horizontal soundstage and the depth of each. Determining the depth was more difficult than the horizontal panning. It took about an hour of mixing trials to figure it all out. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting me know. Alan

Hi, Alan. As usual, you've crafted together a coherent story from diverse sources. It reminds me of the loops in the old Korg Wavestation. My only negative thought is the synth stabs - they stand out and call attention to themselves. I'd have assumed that an ambient track would be a bit more anodyne, but... the paying customer is always right!  Good Evening, David, "coherent story from diverse sources ..". Thanks - I like that! A little trial and error played a big part in that. Anodyne was an excellent word choice. The track was, indeed, meant to represent the temporary respite the astronauts/space explorers enjoyed the demands and challenges of their mission, according to my neighbor. I assume you're referring to the stabs on the far right periphery. I originally had a different, softer track there. But my neighbor wanted something to remind the subjects there were still important things going on besides the reverie of the beauty of the scene outside their vehicle - his words almost verbatim. So this is what he chose. When the Name on the "Pay To The Order Of" line on the check is mine, I'm open to change! Thanks again! Alan

Love it, Alan. So cool that that is going on for you. I dig it rght from the title. It's amazing how you complied with his request creating ambience that keeps the mind awake, interested and receptive. I guess there's no way we can tell what the movie is about since your composition wasn't to reveal any of that, but you did a fine job mixing the perfect piece. He's right about how a catchy chorus could be distracting, but I hear how you're just chomping at the bit to expand the tune. Excellent title. Is the next one going to be called Copious Callosum bringing the listener right and left with clever panning? Hi Marty! Hope all is well in your part of the Keystone State. I'm delighted you enjoyed it! he didn't tell me the complete context of the movie - just that three men were en route to a distant celestial body and that the year was 2050. That's all I really needed to know. He said he still hadn't settled on a title. Hmmm .. Copius Collosum. That's an idea! Over the years, I've made a bit of money with my music (my original music, not when I was playing in a band). I had a Gypsy Jazz piece licensed as the intro music for a British documentary about Django Rhinehardt ($800.00) and a really weird piece I wrote about 15 years ago that was licensed exclusively for a Japanese movie ($2,200.00). I've had several pieces licenses off and on for $50 - $200. So, I've made a few house payments form my music. Thanks for the the listen and very nice comments! Take care, Alan

Hi Alan, as most of you know I'm a fan of instrumental tunes specially the cinematic type. This one is absolutely gorgeous. It kept my wanting for more. Lots of work here but it was worth every second of it.
Cheers
Mike B. HI Mike, Thank you very much! Your words put a smile on my face. Appreciate that! Take care, Alan

Great job Alan, you are a BiaB master craftsman for sure.
Soothing, reflective yet creative and flowing.
An enjoyable arrangement, well done.
--Steve Hi Steve, Thank you very much! That's very kind of you to say. Take care, Alan

It's a cool thing Alan.
I agree with you regarding the dynamics but the customer calls the shots. HI Ray, "... a cool thing ...". I'll take that with a smile! But, as you said, when someone else is signing the check, flexibility is always an option! Take care, my friend. Alan

Alan,
It's about time someone start using your music. And paying you for it.
You should be making-a-living doing this kid of thing...
An incredible number of tracks to deal with. Not surprising the mix is excellent...
Nice!
fj HI Floyd, Thabnk you very much. I appreciate your words very much. As I told Marty, I've made a few house payments of my music (referring to writing original music). I mentioned to Marty a couple of nice licensing opportunities that work well for me. At your suggestion, I'm looking at the possibility of uploading to Spotify, ITunes, etc., and maybe a music library or two. I'm pretty ignorant about all that, so I want to look a little closer and educate myself before taking the plunge. But I'm thrilled you suggested my music reaches that level. Wishing you & yours the very best, Alan

I'd say, mission accomplished on this one, Alan! It definitely sets the mood you described your friend was looking for. There are so many ways to make money with original music and you've touched on one I've never heard before. Thanks for sharing your story and the music!
Dewey HI dewey, It's always good to hear from you. yeah, there are opportunities abound, but discovering them can be a bit of a chore. This one just fell into my lap. I had a piece picked up for a TV commercial a couple of years ago. Thank you for those really nice comments! Best to you, Alan

PS Just read your comments on Cold Plate … you do realize Bud is older than you? 😀 Hey Folks, Well, we need to raise your pay grade as your music is always among the very best on the forum. Glad you liked my SC description. That's how it sounded to me upon completion. Uh, yes, I know Bud has more time on the job in this world than I do. I defer to his seniority! Actually, I defer to the superior talent both of you always exhibit. Thanks again for the kindness. Best to both of you. Alan

Alan,
The sound is very different from your usual musical style, but I can understand that the production was commissioned by someone else.
I think it really captures the atmosphere of space.
Many synth sounds were used accurately, and I really felt your deep understanding of music.
I am also looking forward to the completion of the other three songs.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Shigeki Adachi Hi Shigeki, Yes, a little bit different from my usual posts. But $$/Yen can foster a change in direction! I'm not so sure about my technical understanding of music, but I think I can usually find decent tracks and make them sound pretty most of the time. I do a lot of experimenting with chords and the [possible RTs for them. Thank you very much for the nice comments! I'll be posting one of the other three tracks late next week. Best wishes, Alan

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."
