Paul,
Nice tune. Good message. This will sound great once you fine tune the mix.

I've studying sound engineering techniques.. and this mix I've put in what I 've learned so far.. teh tracks are actually sound shaped into different positions in the spectrum...to ensure nothing gets stomped on.... you got to love modern techniology..lol

A very nice song Paul, especially the guitar solo, and your vocals are as usual very impressive.

Thoughts as I listened:
- 5:05 is too long. Once the chorus message is delivered nothing different happens afterwards. I think shorter would be more impactful.
- The key change near the end feels like a big lurch; it's a good idea but somehow sounds awkward at the moment.
- I'd put your vocal back a bit in the mix. I know from your other songs you like it well forward, but the backing sounds firmly relegated and somehow separate when in fact there are things in it to listen to and enjoy on a par with the vocal.

As I said, just thoughts; bin 'em as necessary!

John

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.
