This song contains only 1 real track #364 Acoustic Guitar. I then took the left side of stereo guitar and deleted the right and vice versa. I then put it in DAW to create the stereo. If you have the capibility to do this try it you will be amazed at the difference. I probably should have panned the guitar a little further apart, and might have gotten them lined up better volume wise but you have to move with the 5090 challenge. I hope you will give any tips and suggestions so I can try and incorporate once the challenge is over. Thanks! 3. My Song

I really like the guitar but I am not sure exactly what you did. I'll play around with it. BIAB is really a great tool that can be used in so many ways.
Nice song.

Poster: jptjptjpt I really like the guitar but I am not sure exactly what you did.
Response: As you know when you make a wave file of the instruments from band in a box they are in stereo. This is a neat trick my father in law taught me. I took the stereo guitar and high lited only the left side and deleted it; I saved this file as finger picking acoustic right. I then reloaded the original stereo guitar again and highlited only the right side of the file and deleted it. This was saved as Finger Picking acoustic left. That way when you load into your daw you have both sides seperate. Listen to them seperate and you will see a huge difference from having both side together. I think this trick would really make a huge difference in a multiple instrument mix, for example take and load the left side of the guitar track on one track and then the right side of a piano track and notice how clean it is and notice the seperation you get. I hope this helps.

Are you sure you're not John Starnes in disguise (Closer Than A Heartbeat, Holy Ghost Do It Again, etc.)? I love your voice and your dedication to your beliefs come across loud and strong in your words and music. Nice job!

PgF, Nice work on these songs. Good luck in the 50/90 Challenge! I hope someday I have 50 written, never mind the 90 day part! Regarding the stereo track splitting effect, It really makes a great improvement. There is a function in the RB track menu that does this automatically. Have you tried it? Might save some effort. SD

This is my 7th 5090 challenge song. The vocal is uneven, I am going to have to work on that later. The reason was I had to break the vocal between chorus and verse because of the difference in eq to make them go through the mix. All feed back is welcome. 7. Fly Away

This is song 10 in the 50-90 Challenge. It was inspired by my own life experience and Proverbs 24:16. I am always sad when I hear someone say they believe they can be saved and then lost again. Because when the Son sets you free you are free indeed. Not believing that Jesus is the Son of God, and that He died on the cross for your sins, and then rose again is the only way not to be saved. 10 Jesus Never Left

Robert, your songs are always uplifting with super lyrics. Your vocals are always spot on, as are your various backing tracks. Having said that I do believe that “Jesus Never Left” is your best to date.
Two thumbs up!

This is song 16 of the 50/90 challenge, It uses the style Promise Piano and El guitars. I actually started with the demo songs chords and then made some edits to get the finished song! All feedback welcomed! 16. New AgainNew Again (C)2012 I was a rotten apple, rotten to the core I fought God at every turn until I had no strength to fight anymore then I fell down on my knees I prayed Lord please forgive me, and He washed away all of my sin He made me new again I am new again my slate wiped clean as far as the east is from the west He put my sin the scars are gone He Crossed them out when He stretched His arms out wide and took my pain He made me whole He saved my soul Jesus Christ made me new again I heard His gentle voice calling out my name I felt His love around me drawing me from Hell's flame then I laid down all my pride, the old man died leaving me, with love where only hatred use to be I am new again my slate wiped clean as far as the east is from the west He put my sin the scars are gone He Crossed them out when He stretched His arms out wide and took my pain He made me whole He saved my soul Jesus Christ made new again

Robert, Your music and dedication is a testament to the work you are doing. Your voice alone emits gentleness in the messages you are giving us. "My Song" is a very intereting technique to get a really nice split in the sounds. Your vocals nicely fit the simplicity of the guitar. Gentle and Kind. I've been using a free plugin Mstereo expander. Down near bottom are the free plugins. http://www.meldaproduction.com/download.phpYour music already makes you a winner, good luck on the contest!

Hi Robert, "Trust Me" is a beautiful song - nice use of lyrics. For me, though, your "Giggles and Sunshine" song is best. Love the whimsical style and lyrics on that one. Not to take anything away from "Trust Me" - it is terrific... Oh well, what the heck - they're BOTH great!

This is song 25 of the 50/90 challenge. I used the Genesis Account of creation and put it to my own personal life. Here is the link, all comments welcome, thanks and God bless! 25. That DayThat Day ©2012 My life before Jesus was like the void before creation only darkness there was no light to be found but then a knock so gentle and when i let the Savior enter the Light shown through he turned my life around He smoothed a heart so callous it was a major restoration to turn a heart so solid into clay that is why I praise Him because of His salvation and the love that He poured out on me that day That day He breathed in me new life That day He spoke and there was light The evening and the morning I will shout in endless praise for what He did when He came in to my heart that day I know how He salvaged me when I was drowning in my sin filled with shades of gray pulled down by the current He filled me with His Spirit I thank Him for the miracle that day Repeat Chorus x2
My TunesPsalm 57:7 My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

This song was inspired by a Cancun key holder on my wall. I have seen it countless times; yet yesterday when I saw it, I thought does it come in a bottle, lol. I then got the idea to use city names to try and create a song. One of the 50/90 Challenges was called nouns. It is 25, it is comedy. It has a bluegrass feel. Comments welcomed. 25.

This song incorporates the 5 senses in love found, and then in love lost. The 1st vs and chorus are all Major chords for the love found, the 2nd verse and chorus uses only a piano and minor chords to portray the sadness. This is song 26 of the 50/90 Songwriters Challenge. All comments are welcome. Thanks in advance. 26. Senses Senses ©2012 Robert Taylor Girl I saw your beauty it was like the sunshine you spoke my name I heard a symphony just a taste of your lovin and the smell of your perfume I felt all of the senses when you touched me girl I saw the colors of the rainbow I heard lifes song in high fidelity tasted all the joy life had to offer life smelled sweet like roses wet with dew when you touched me girl the day you left me I was speechless you said goodbye life lost it's harmony I got the taste of heartbreak the smell of endless doom I went numb when you left me girl I lost my senses I was blinded by the pain deafened by the sound of your goodbye life lost all its flavor the moment that you left me the sweet auroma in my life was gone I was numb the when you left me I was numb the when you left me

Bob,
Very touching music, with happy/sad story told by your vocals.
The ending with sadness infused was a real stroke, finished of the story nicely.
Thanks for sharing!

I wrote the lyrics to this and then went through BIAB until I came across Crossover Pop style. I used the the original with a slight modification. It seemed like the perfect style for the lyrics. Instruments are Bass #784 Acoustic Guitar #785 RDrums Nashville Crossover Electric Rhythm 786 Electric Rhythm 787 Here is the link with lyrics below 27. That's Enough About MeEnough About Me ©2012 Robert Taylor I could tell you of a man so full of anger empty inside and still so full of shame it was always someone elses fault his failures he never would admit he was to blame (Chorus) That's Enough about me, I want to talk about Jesus the Son of God sent down here to free us by His grace the lost are found He put a new heart in a dead man breathin' but enough about me I want to talk about Jesus I would blow my stack and act so foolish I always hurt the ones I loved the most I was thinking that I was the captain all puffed up sinking as I'd boast Repeat Chorus (Bridge) Talk of His forgiveness about His endless love the Carpenter from Galilee the Shepherd of the flock the way He was yesterday, and forever He is today do you hear Him knock open to the Rock I stand on the Rock Repeat Chorus That's enough about me I want to talk about Jesus are you in His flock Let's talk about Jesus Let's talk about Jesus

Robert, your song writing and mixing skills are second to none! You always seem to find the right lead lines and backing tracks for all of your lyrics.
As always-another super job on Senses and Enough About Me.
Two thumbs up on both songs.
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

This is probably my world record for writing lyrics, I sat down at 9:20pm and lyrics were complete at 9:51 Pm. I made the mistake of adding a stereo effect to this song, so in a few places it sounds a little warbled. You should be able to get the jest of it. I will fix it after the 50/90 challenge. I saw this title on Hamigos thread (thanks for the inspiration) with the same title. Check out that song it is excellent! immediately the idea for this song and the words began to flow. I listened to Hamigos version and they are completely different songs. 28. Let Me Go Let Me Go ©2012 Robert Taylor You don't walk these hallways anymore you will never walk back through the door I will never kiss your lips again memories are all that still remain you don't dent your pillow anymore I never see your shoes left on the floor why it still hurts I just don't know but I'm begging you let me go Let me go so I can live again Let me go take away this pain I don't understand it how I'm still caught in your hold but tell your memory please let me go you don't call my name out anymore you will never send me to the store my heart is filled with so much woe I'm begging you let me go Let me go so I can live again Let me go take away this pain I don't understand it how I'm still caught in your hold but tell your memory please let me go just like you never left me every day is the same just like the day you left standing in the pain Repeat Chorus

Bob,
Haven't listened to all your songs, but "Let Me go". What a tearjerker that is. Almost sounds like you relied on some life experiences.
Not sure if enjoyed is right words, cause its so sad, but very good job on your short time writing... And I did think back....and enjoyed it.
Very nice song.

I got the idea for this one at McD's. I was sitting outside eating at a table and a little bird landed about 3 inches from my hand and sat there for the longest time. I began to think I wonder where he has been and what he has seen. This was also used for the 'second person' week 8 challenge at 50/90 Songwriting Challenge. Here is the link. The bird is midi. The guitars and drum are Realtracs. 32. Little Bird (Spread Your Wings and Fly)

Hi Robert,
Wow! I've been listening to some of your 50/90 songs. Your songwriting is zooming! "Fall On His Grace" is exceptional. It is lyrically simple, wonderfully melodic and spiritually uplifting; these features makes it highly memorable and perfect for a hymn. It's a real credit to you.
An interesting fact is that 9/8 was regarded by the Church in Bach's day as the perfect time signature because of its association with "3" (i.e. 9 = 3 x 3) and thus the Holy Trinity. For this reason, many of Bach's works are written in 9/8. The Church used to use a circle in the time signature to signify this time signature. If the time signature was anything other than 9/8, the Church used to use a half-circle. In time, this half-circle developed to become our "C" for "common time".
I'm heading back to listen to #33 again, now.
Regards, Noel

Thanks Tommyc, I appreciate all of your feedback. I have always liked the blues. I loved the early blues by Elvis. The sound they got at Sun Studio was amazing. It is funny they call it the blues and yet the music itself is so lively in most cases.

This is a contemporary Christian/praise and worship tune. The bass came with the style I added the piano realtrac from a different style. It is song 37 of 50 for the 50/90 challenge. I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to listen, and those who have given feedback. Band in a Box is the perfect songwriters tool. Of course you all know that, Lol! Here is the link 37.

Song 46 of the 50/90 Challenge, my voice is getting a little shaky a lot of singing since July 4. The funny thing about this song is I sat down writing lyrics for another song that I had thought about, and then this one popped in my head and just began to flow out. I had my microphone in a box that my brother built, since I do not have a soundproof room; I took it out of the box for this song and set it up in the middle of the room; I noticed in the box I was getting a lot of extra low end to my vocals even when I stood far away from the mic. This song I stood about 6" from the mic. All feed back is welcome. 46. The Rock of Ages
My TunesPsalm 57:7 My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

Robert, What an amazing body of work! Although I haven't listened to all 48, you really have written some great stuff. You should have 49 and 50 any day now. Are you going to make the 90 days goal? Are you going to keep going on or are you exhausted? I hope when you done you can summarize your experience for us.

SpaceDog, I hope to have 49 posted later today. It is written just need to do the demo. Had not thought about posting a summary but you have given me the idea, so I will as soon as 50 is posted. I will probably hold at 50 as my voice is nearly shot. I have gained a new respect for the professionals who sing night in and night out. They said Elvis did sometimes 2 or 3 shows a night in Vegas, His throat must have felt like sandpaper, Lol! Thanks for the kind comments!

So true!
I think it's amazing how productive you are. You are a songwriting inspiration.

50 songs in 90 days is in the books, I had to put this song together at warp speed, to get it done in time to finish the challenge. The title was inspired from a message I heard from brother in Christ Matt Black. Here is a link to his music Matt and Joanna BlackHere is a link to song 50 of the challenge 50. My Constant Need

I want to thank all who took the time to listen and give feedback on my 50/90 Songwriting Challenge material. I begin this by saying if you love writing this is the challenge for you. The 50/90 Challenge is to write 50 songs in 90 day; from July 4th to October 1st. Here is the link to it 5090 Challenge I have participated in 2 of them now and it is a blast, you meet so many great people; I have been able to collaborate on several songs. Each week they post a challenge: some of the challenges this year were to write a song with late in the title, use Olympics in the title, there were 13 challenges in all. Also individuals will post there own challenges if you choose to try them. The rest of the time you just write what you feel like writing. I was given the idea to write about how I accomplished the challenge by SpaceDog. First and foremost I thank God for giving me the love of music! I prayed before I wrote each song, sometimes the song would be a message “I Want To Breathe”, other times it was just something meant to bring a laugh “Microwave”, which I wrote to fulfill one of the challenges about naming food in the song. I sing all of the time, instrument or not, that is all Him! Since I was 12 I have wanted to write songs. Many people think that you have to wait and be inspired to write a song. The whole premise behind the Challenge is to just write and that you do not have to wait to be inspired. That you want to write a song, that is all of the inspiration you need, and putting your life or what you see in life and the way you feel in words is inspiration you turn into the lyric. My Lord saved me and gave me a reason to sing and write, so most of what I write about is Him. Sometimes I wrote about what He has done in my life song 28 "That's Enough About Me, sometimes I wrote about things that have happened in my life, other times it is just something off the wall that I think will bring laughter or a smile. I got inspiration from quotes, song 49 “Keep On Living” was inspired by this quote, “when life gives you a hundred reasons to cry live like you have a thousand reasons to smile.” Sometimes it was something I heard someone say, the 50th song was inspired by a fellow brother in Christ who was giving a message and he talked about his “constant need.” Bam the light came on and I thought that would be a great title for a song. Band in a Box is the perfect tool for the Challenge because you can go from lyric to full band accompaniment in just minutes. The hardest part for me is the mixing; getting everything to sound good in the mix, and that takes the longest of anything. I would suggest to all who would endeavor to do this, finish one song at a time, do not try to work on several at the same time. Try to do the best you can to finish one and move on, realize that time flies and you can go back when the challenge is over and correct mistakes you made and make a polished master later; the goal is to get a workable demo. Many folks at the challenge use only a guitar or piano, or ukulele some even do the work accapella, still others only post the lyrics and then look for people to collaborate and add music. I use Biab because it is just so easy to create a song in it. When you say 50 songs in 90 days it sounds daunting. Here is a breakdown of how you can do it, this was written by a fellow 5090er. The Challenge begins on July 4th and Ends October 1st. Days July songs needed 0 4 0 7 11 4 14 18 8 21 25 12 August 28 1 16 35 8 20 42 15 24 49 22 28 56 29 32 September 63 5 36 70 12 40 77 19 44 84 26 48 October 90 1 50 One guy at the Challenge this year posted 241 songs, is that not amazing?! This was the process I used, I wrote the lyrics on a program called lyricist and then put the chords in BiaB to add the music, I try to write the lyrics in the evening and then add music and post the next day,. It does not always work out that way. That is why I said before to make sure you work on one song at a time. The goal is to finish as many as you can, with the goal being 50. The good thing about the Challenge is it gives you a reason to make yourself write. Before I got in the Challenge I would sit and wait for “the magic inspiration” and From age 12 to 46 I had written around 70 songs, Then I joined 2 February Album Writing Months (Another Songwriting Challenge 14 Songs in 28 days or 141/2 when February has 29 days in it.) Here is the Link FAWM and 2 50/90 Challenges and in 2 year I have written over 150 songs. I had so much fun with the challenge I want to bring the challenge to you; write a song about the thing in your life that means the most to you. Post it as MY Challenge Song. You want inspiration? You got it! I look forward to hearing them. You have all the tools you need in Band in a Box and a piece of paper and a pencil or word processor on the computer, LOL. Have fun!

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."
