HI Bob ...

Thanks so much for the very kind comments. It's one of my favoprite acoustic guitar RTs. This is the 3rd or 4th time I've used it in the past year or so. It's very adaptable to various genres.

I'm delighted you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know.

And we appreciate your thoughts for Di.

Sorry to hear about Di's ongoing health problems!



Hi Scott ..

Thanks for the feed-back on the muted guitar on the left. The more I listen, the more I'm satisfied with it. So, I'm gonna leave it as is.

And that lead guitar RT is one of my favborites. As I mentioned above to Bob, I've used it several time over the past year.

Thanks for your thoughts on Di's health.

Alan

Hello Floyd ...

Thank you so much! This is one of my favorites of the acoustic guitar tunes I've posted in quite a while. The various trracks on this song sound more "natural" than many of the RTs. I just play around with them a little to get the sound I want. No big secrets. I also liked the clarity of the strummed guitar on the right side.

Thasnk you very much for ther most genreous comments. I have about a dozen or so of these "quick-hit" pieces. I'ver done mosdty of the work on the,m on my laptop as Di is receiving her treatments. And thanks for your thoughts on her health.

Alan

HI Misha ...

You are much too kind. But thank you for the kind words. I would be more than happy to do a video if I knew how to film it and upload it. I have no idea how to do either. I'm pretty good with the hardware side of computers. But on the software side, I'm an idiot.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know!

Best to you ...

Hi, Alan.

Nice work - it sounds really good through my speakers. And the stereo image is especially good.

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

So good, Alan. A good feel with a fine melody soaring through. Well played and written. Yeah, I like those chords that come from misplaced fingers. This tune has such a good feel and you play it so well. Man, you wring out so much emotion. My thoughts are with you and Di. Stay well.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Al-David,

I enjoyed the sound and playing of the guitar. It's light in tone and it pleases. The instruments are in their place in the mix. Well done.

Alan,

I've had that happen a few times on the guitar and the piano too, where I hit a wrong note in a chord and realized that it was better than what I originally had. Your "oops" works well here. A very pleasing composition that moves along smoothly.

Very relaxing easy listening piece, the guitar melody is very nice. This is one of those of your instrumentals that I would like to hear with a real singer, the band is sweet and smooth, and the chording is so beautiful that a soft female voice on top of this would be like icing on the cake smile Well, I'm just dreaming now... great work with the mix. All the best to you and Di!

Hi Janne ...


Short replies today as my wife is very ill. I agree with you that a soft female voice would be perfect for this. MNy wife can longer sing as good as she once did (health). But glad you enjoyed the instrumental version. Thanks for letting me know.

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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."
