Re: Painting A Fence musician17 Yesterday at 06:11 PM Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Noel, thank you so much for your very thoughtful comments, and sorry it took me so long to respond. First of all, I hope that your health is better, and that the roller-coaster ride you've been on, for the past 12 months, has given way to some plain sailing, at last! "Painting a fence" ... yes, equilibrium, but also closure. I guess the message also says, to the lady in the song: "I'm done playing your games, whatever happens from now on, I shall be painting a fence". So yes: it is indeed about equilibrium, but, I think, especially about the equilibrium one gains after a tempestuous relationship. Sometimes, one just has to go to "paint one's fence", after such a time, otherwise one will forever be caught in the maelstrom of game-playing, regrets, etc., no? smile I'm glad you've enjoyed this song - you are kind and generous in your comments. I'm not sure what will be next, for me, writing-wise ... I guess I'm as curious as anyone to see "what next" smile Thanks again for such kind words, for this one! smile

David...I fell in love with this with the intro...did you write this for or just about Springsteen? this certainly sounds like something he would cut (though the line about himself would be a little narcissistic I suppose)...I bet your wife loves this...points are always good!...well written and performed...terrific song!

Bob...another beautiful melody with your wonderful storytelling attached...I really like the piano line...very simple and consistent...laying the foundation...I would call it Americana at a high level...and the fade is a very effective tool in the song...especially considering the last couple of lines...a treasure at the bottom of the chest...always nice to find them...and always remember a song that's old to you is brand new to us!

Welcome to the forum. I recommend you start a new post and use the Roland RD-08 in the post title.

AMERICAN MADE_David Snyder David Snyder Yesterday at 04:23 PM Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
So, since I am a really patriotic guy, but don’t find much to be patriotic about these days, I decided to write a song about my lovely patriotic wife, who represents the best of America to me, in too many ways to count. I am a southern boy who ran off to New York City for a long time in his youth, but she is from Jersey. It is a beautiful thing. Jersey girls are the best. Just ask Tom Waits. Anyway, in our house we stand for many American values. We also stand for parallel mastering. On this song, I tried a new trick I learned on YouTube that is based on a technique utilized by the famous engineer Andrew Scheps. What you do is, you create a secondary master buss where you additionally send all of the instrumental tracks except for the drums (which have their own buss), and then you add additional magic to that Secondary Master Buss (aka Rear Buss) that you place side by side with the master master buss. It just so happens that I have the Andrew Scheps Omni Channel plugin which I put on the secondary master bus. Hope you enjoy this. AMERICAN MADE By David Snyder https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs4/american-made V1 She says she’s from Jersey And that’s ok by me Cause she listens to Springsteen And she was born to be free And she’s friendly with Jesus And she’s friendly with me And she looks like a woman In the sun or the shade And whatever I owe her She’s says she’s already paid CH And she’s American made Sexy and strong And she’s American made So I wrote her song Sings like an angel, and her love never fades I thank God that she found me What else can I say She’s American made V2 So I drove her to Pittsburgh To see McCartney play And she said that she loved me When he sang Yesterday And she’s a Rock ‘n Roll Mystery She’s a Rock ‘n Roll song And when I feel her kiss me That’s where I belong CH And she’s American made Sexy and strong And she’s American made So I wrote her song Sings like an angel, and her love never fades I thank God that she found me What else can I say She’s American made V3 So I’m not watching TV Until I’ve cast my vote Cause all of those people They’ll just be cutting my throat I’d rather be with my sweet girl By some mountain steam Because inside of her heart She’s my American Dream CH And she’s American made Sexy and strong And she’s American made So I wrote her song Sings like an angel, and her love never fades I thank God that she found me What else can I say She’s American made All Music and Lyrics copyright 2024 by David Snyder ASCAP/Day of Faith Records David Snyder: Vocals, Acoustic and Electric 6-string and 12-string guitars, Lead Guitar, additional instrumentation, production, engineering, mixing and mastering Dedicated to the lovely and epic Gayle Snyder, best wife, singer, musician, co-writer, best friend, maker of feasts and super awesome party planner and adventurous travel buddy ever.

Re: Ghost Town Matt Finley Yesterday at 03:37 PM Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
You're right, of course. I'm wondering, what with lots of FAQs out there, where this set of system requirements came from? It would be worth sending a suggestion to PG Music to update it. In particular, I think the change this year that loads and regenerates RealTracks so much faster must be taking more computer processing power. Only if BIAB had remained MIDI-only would those specs have a fighting chance. "Turn off Fast Generation" and the like can send someone down an unproductive journey with an underpowered computer.

Howdy Ronnie.... That's very good news to hear. I'm very familiar with all that you've been going through. My wife had her big bout of it too back in the mid nineties and luckily became "cancer free". Best to you both..

Good morning Marty.... I thought it had a good 'drive' of that salsa style too which is not a term I would generally associate with the genre. I will be perusing more of that genre for the next endeavor providing I don't free fall into another 'slump'. smile Thanks very much for checking it our ant the generous comments. Howdy Blue.... I liked that style too which not one that I've employed in the past. This BIAB program is a very cool tool for us song writers and I'd have several songs in my "unfinished" folder without it. Thanks very much for taking the time to give a listen and kind comments. Have a great everyone!

I don't disagree with you guys. Scaler can be perceived as odd and therefore not for everyone. But I would say that what it does, is truely unique. And at $39 it can be entertaining, educational and a great value for the buck. I actually spend more time in the standalone version (which is only coming in Scaler 3, but there is a free addon which works well now). So no need to even open the DAW. And by the way I have never read the manual. There is nothing better to experiment with chord progessions, chord voicings, scales, modes, modulations, key changes, and piano patterns not to mention a wide selection of sounds. Pure ear candy to provide inspiration. I am not trying to change anyones mind here. Just enjoying the conversation and trying to add a perspective. Carry on. Oh and by the way, I do enjoy the videos... grin

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."
