Hi Scott, I appreciate that! The intent was to make it big and wide. I guess I did! Thanks again. Best to you, Alan

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for telling me. Do I sometimes write songs that I do not like? My answer is I sometimes write songs I'm not particularly fond of. That's usually when someone is giving me money write it. I've written quite a bit of spec music over the years - not all of them were songs I liked. But I did like the check when it cleared the bank! Best to you, Alan

The melody for "One song every day Helps the memories fade away Like a little bird in a tree I feel free" sounds more open, free and unconstrained than the rest of the song...which works given the structure & narrative. Cool sounding thing though the lyrics don't really survive analysis, (perfectly pop).

This SOUNDS great - the narrative - well, it's confronting but so it ought as should every time we reach for animal protein. COOL & COOL.

Ah, I wasn't expecting the OZ blues rock of Chain and was pleasantly surprise by your version of this song. Armstrong's playing is superb on the linked version..the slushy & licorice stick hold their own too. Your version is terrific but you've spoilt it for me by linking Louis. GREAT song, your interpretation is cool.

World weary vocals and a stinging guitar held up to the ear on fat, fat bass. Excellent.

Re: Going Down The Road Feeling Bad (Featuring Janice on vocals) rayc 03/24/24 05:22 AM Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
The only thing that struck me as odd is the "flam" on the snare, (the consistency of it reminds me of glam rock with double drummers like The Glitter band).. The vocals and guitars are, as expected, fabulous but the band is also ace. You really let your fingers fly on the last solo. Janice's voice - ah, me. AND Bud's excellent tracking & treatment.

I could spend time researching this but it’s no point because I completely agree with you that the audio quality for the regular version of BIAB (for Windows), wherever you chart it, should be improved.

Thanks Dave, appreciate the guitar comments. Peter

The wonderland in your video is amazing and beckoning to us. Cool! J&B
Happy you two liked the song, and thanks for the comment over on YouTube also! We are trying to grow our following there and every bit helps. As far as the video goes, I’ve been wanting to experiment with AI graphics after seeing what Scott and Robert have been doing, and Marty has done some cool things with it too. Lots of fun, and quite effective IMHO.

Thank you Floyd, Torrey and Dave. I am really glad you liked this. Awhile back I asked Robert if we could start doing some of his folk songs and poems. I think they make great soft rock tunes and an excellent way to tell his stories in his lyrics..

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."

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
