I Threw You Out I have made several versions of this song with different female Vocaloids, but for this version I hired a real vocalist. Maybe too expensive way when songwriting is just a modest hobby for me, but I wanted to try something different and the end result is not so bad. RealTracks used: Acoustic Bass #481 RealDrums JazzTerryClarke Acoustic Piano #2314 Acoustic Guitar #527 Electric Guitars #939, #969 Trumpet #494 Solo guitar melody uses SampleTank Silk Shake - I have used lots of effects to find the sound I want (echo, chorus, stereo expander, compressor, eq), but I'm still not fully satisfied with the result. Mixed with Adobe Audition. Janne

the end result is not so bad......That's an extreme understatement. This is excellent!! Music works great-great composition and great use of "the Band". Love the singer-perfect for the song. Trumpet works beautifully. Great job all around!! Take care. Greg

Janne, this is fantastic! Great sound selection, tempo, and mix. Great work on that guitar solo.
PS - keep this singer as she is great!

Hello Jannesan, We think this is a very good song. The vocals are also very professional. Speaking of which, next time you may want to hire one of us for your vocals. We love to do it and we're probably going to be a lot cheaper  . Regards, R & AM

Janne... would you please post the lyrics...? I'm having trouble understanding the words... and what I manage to catch sounds very good.. I don't want to miss any of it! I agree with Floyd about the reverb being a bit too much... in fact, I think that contributes to my inability to understand the lyrics Once again, this is a very pleasing and interesting work! I'd like to hear more! Oh, and can I assume that www.DEMOMYSONG.COM is where you hired this singer?

Thanks all for your nice comments! Pat, yes I used DemoMySong , I was hoping to get another vocalist, but she was not available at that time, so they suggested me Melissa, first I thought she was not the best possible singer for this kind of tune, but she did very professional job as commentators have stated. You and Floyd are right about the amount of reverb, I got also their own mix, which had drier vocals, but I had to do my own mix and I wanted bit more reverb - I guess I added bit too much :-) R & AM: thanks for your suggestion, I keep that in my mind when a suitable song comes along. Pat requested the lyrics, so they are below. I'm not native english speaker, so there definitely are language issues, but I hope they can be accepted as artistic freedom: I threw you out nothing was left to talk about quiet mummy in the armchair was not worth the affair. I threw you out when I was in fire, you were drought seasons of souls never met burning lips without sweat. A teenager living in her dreamland wish I could teach her the erosion of the bond too many homes built on just sand the first waves weather the fond. [Chorus] Middle-age chaos swirls in my heart undermining the equilibrium bliss what used to complete tears apart too proud to cross the abyss. [Chorus] --- Janne

Yeah... this is very well done.
When I work with folks in other studios I always , always insist on dry raw tracks. I can add what level of verb I want.... I can not undo what they do, if they do anything to the tracks.
Certainly this is a well done song. Production chops are top notch. I could hear this in any number of movie scenes as either source or underscore.
The call to use a live singer over the vocaloid was a good one on this.....
I like this song.

I think the song lyrics are better than what your Professional singer interpreted them to be...
I don't think she was the right voice for this song.....I'm hearing a more soulful singer who sings with much more feeling and maybe a lower register....

#TBT - Band-in-a-Box® 2006 for Windows Ear Training Fun!
With the release of Band-in-a-Box® 2006 for Windows we added two great games for ear training: Pitch Invasion and Music Replay!
Pitch Invasion helps to develop perfect pitch as you shoot down "alien" notes invading from above (you hear the note sound, and click on the on-screen piano/MIDI or QWERTY keyboard to shoot them down).
Music Replay develops your pitch, rhythm, and melody recognition by replaying what the program plays, in note, rhythm, or melodic modes.
These games can still be accessed with newer versions of the program - in Band-in-a-Box® 2018 you'll find these by accessing the Practice Window or Ear Training Window, both located in the Window drop-down menu. The Practice Window can also be accessed using the Practice button within the main Band-in-a-Box screen (don't see it? CTRL+T to change the view).
Learn all about the features released with Version 2006 here.

Amazing Band-in-a-Box User Comments!
Great program with lots of support through the publisher and after-market. Use it for teaching, practicing, and gigging.
-Andrew L.
I just got my 6th film placement on a song recorded entirely in Band-in-a-Box. You guys rock!
-Terry Fernihough (Band-in-a-Box Endorsing Artist!)
I love this program. I have only had it for around a month but it has made things a lot easier for me. I no longer have to scour the internet for backing tracks. I just plug in the chords I want to use, find the style I want and done. Saving me so much time and being able to transpose into different keys is awesome too.
As the days go on I will be delving deeper into what it can do, importing some of my backing tracks into Abelton 9 to play with and writing some songs.
Best money I have spent on something in while.
-Peter S.
I started using Band-in-a-Box around 1990. It was the DOS version naturally and I used one of those old portable computers with dual floppy drives and a built in 9" monochrome display. I connected midi cables to a great sounding Yamaha keyboard and played my music using midi tracks. I did a demo for a university music class that was a lot of fun. Wow, it is almost unimaginable to see where this product has elevated to today. I have upgraded many times over the past 28 years but each time I am even more amazed. Thank you PG Music for being such a major part of my love for music all of these years!!!
-Dwayne G.
Incredible Software. Great for ignorance and experts and for anyone who wants to deal with music. If you do not have a hobby and want to have one "band in a box" is the best choice. Simple, but if you want to be an expert on it, you need to make an effort to master it perfectly for perfect use. The only disadvantage is if you do not want to become a musician, and use it, you will become a perfect musician. Therefore, be cautious. It's not a toy.
-Ilija B.
I’ve been using it for about the same time (20 years). I’m a trumpet player and just really want some backing on lead sheets. With the Real Styles - it sounds fantastic! Takes just minutes to input chord changes and find the right style. There is so much you can do and I love having the Soloist features to really add color.
-Mike B.
Read even more great feedback here.
