I can't keep away from the Band-in-a-Box software, it seems :-) Anyway, here's the latest track I finished this morning ... I hope you like it. Thank you so much for listening and for any comments! https://soundcloud.com/jamesdelsono/memory-1 MEMORY It's been so long since I've been in love; The roses used to bloom in May, We used to walk but hand in hand And smile, from sunrise, throughout the day. The flowers used to turn around when we Were walking, hearts beating so strong, Dark eyes reflecting into your own eyes ... I wonder what went wrong. Cold water thrown across our tables, The fountain sprinkles through the mist ... The time is hazy, the world has moved on And long it is since it all ceased. Today, I walk around once more Retracing my footsteps through the past ... I step outside, the sun shines bright, I am where we first met, at last. Alas, there is no stunning girl To sit where you once sat with me; I sit me down and hide a tear At the still powerful memory. I walk around; I see the garden The place where we first met; It's other lovers who are smiling now Hoping to avoid our Fate. And me? I've turned down everybody since; I live, alike a ghost, but in the past; Until, one day, I'll breathe one final time, And hope to see your face again, at last. **** Song Summary ********* Title: Memory - 19 May 2020 File:Memory - 19 May 2020.SGU Key=A , Tempo 75, Length (m:s)=4:16 No intro. 76 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 76.

Just a little loud compared to your tracks and a very slight bit of "boominess" that could be tamed with some simple EQ settings.. 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

I do agree with Floyd in the fact that you voice is a little "boomy". I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon! 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

OP musician17 Veteran Joined: May 2018 Posts: 2,063 United Kingdom	Thanks everyone! I'm beyond useless with even simple production things, but one's gotta learn, so ... I'm going to experiment with the EQ settings and hopefully, through trial and error, I'll be able to tame this "boominess". It's this wretched mic of mine ... it's boomy by nature, it feels - I've had better ones in the past ... but, again, no excuses ... I'll work on the EQ and see what happens :-) Thanks so much for listening and for such nice feedback! My website

I'm taking a little break from writing now, which I hope will prove helpful when I start to write again. Sometimes, one's just gotta take a step back and take a deep breath, but who knows what may follow? Again, thank you so much! My website

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
