Hi, this is my first post. I recently joined the groups Band in a box user group and Band in a box music anytime. I played some of my songs and was advised by a few members to post in the user showcase. I write songs in all genres and have no particular favourite. I tried to get the feel of the band Coldplay with this track. I usually get others to perform vocals but I decided to have a go at this one myself. This is all in BIAB........ my vocals were done in Audacity. Most of the tracks were Pop Power tracks with the drums being Praise and worship. I used an effect on my vocals...... nectar elements in Audacity. Thank you for listening https://www.bandlab.com/joewynne/newest-shoulder-to-cry-on-in-e-render-5a946b95?revId=6ebbc471-e45f-ea11-a94c-0003ffd1cad8

Joe,
Welcome to the forum!
I enjoyed your vocal and the energy of this song ( no reason I can hear that you`d need someone else for vocals).
Your Real Track choices for the song sound good and I like the "I don`t want to fight a war" hook.
Its always good to post lyrics - folks here do take notice.
Robert

Hi Robert
Thanks for the welcome and your kind comments.
I hadn't visited this page before so I was unaware of the lyrics being part of the process. I will remember that.
I have been lucky to have found some great singers who have performed for me on some of my tracks which I will try and post eventually.
I will start looking and listening to other contributors as well.
Thank you

Joe,
Excellent use of BIAB. Good tracks, nicely mixed.
A good vocal. It is just slightly "too upfront" for the song style - not much, but it kind of "sits on top of the mix". A small lowering in volume (maybe 1 dB) would let it "sit in the mix" some. But like I said - that's all just slightly...an opinion, of course... (it is a very nice vocal!).
Good song. Enjoyed.
Welcome to the Showcase!

Welcome Joe,
I've only been here a few months myself.
That's a damn good first song.
Don't outsource your vocals, you sound good!

Joe, this is one hell of a super first post!
I love everything about this one. You vocal is really strong and the backing tracks are spot on.
You should be very proud of this one.
I got banned from Weight Watchers for dropping a bag of M&Ms on the floor.
It was the best game of Hungry Hippos I've ever seen!
