Now, that's my kind of Gospel! Not at all what I generally expect. One thought--I wonder if you might try a little slap echo on the voice to give it an edge and blend with the style more?

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Robert.

I always love the blues and this is a great one.

Good lyrics and a mean harmonica. For me, I'd bring the bass and drums up a bit in the mix and as Richard said, possibly look at the effects on the voice.

Might sound nice with some backing vocals in the chorus and if you want to try that I'm sure our team here would be happy to provide them for you. Still a good track anyway.

Robert,

I gotta say you totally blindsided me with this one... not at all what I was expecting to hear based on the title... but you sure did make it work! This is a good example of the fact that Christian music isn't a genre, it's a MESSAGE delivered in MANY genres

I especially like the last line in each chorus. The way you
built this in the story was very nice.

The music sounds surprised me a bit, but for the good side of things.

Thanks for you hard work!

This is fantastic Robert. As always great vocals and super lyrics.

Two thumbs up.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hi Robert.

Spectacular!!! Like others, I was completely blindsided by what I heard. I even did a quick double-check to make sure that I hadn't clicked on someone else's song.

You should feel very satisfied with this one!

Regards,
Noel

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.

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."
