1st of welcome to the forum.

Secondly this is a very good use of BIAB and of course I liked your song also. Other than the abrupt ending I think it was very good.

It is always a good idea to list some details about the song/mix i.e. what real tracks, styles and other instrumentation along with a lyric for to follow while listening to the tracks.

Anyway good effort and again welcome aboard just maybe the nicest forum on the net.

Later,

yeah, welcome to the forum! Isn't BIAB fantastic?
If you just started messing with it this week you sure made some good progress in a short amount of time!

I always like to see people using the music as a ministry. You're not alone.. there are several others here whose songs are faith-based. You'll fit right in!

(have you ever heard a song of the same name by Fernando Ortega? It's One of my all-time favorites...)

Bienvenido, Mivison !

Cmaj7, Fmaj7 wonderful chords to begin with....
To me its seems you are well into BIAB so we´ll all
eagerly wait for your full number !:))
Btw, I think that quite many of us record in their
bedroom (I sleep in my study). All I need is a zoom recorder,
my laptop (lenovo) and a good mixing program like f.i. mixcraft 6.
(Ok this is not pro equipment but I´ll manage) ! Good luck
with your next production !

Cheers
Dani

Not a bad "first time out" song. BB makes it so easy to do good music.

The ending needs work.... I actually felt it was only half way done.... needs another verse.

Keep on writing.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
