Hello PG Music. Please taken a listen to my latest song Seasons of My Time. I arranged song in Band-in-a-Box then uploaded to RealBand using Real Tracks along with BiB strings, guitar.

https://soundcloud.com/carolyne-swayze/seasons-of-my-time

714 Piano- Acoustic Rhythm-Miles Black
712 Acoustic Bass- Bossa- Neil Swainson
Bossa Brushes #1 Real Drums
Mixed in : PG Dynamic Main Mix Gentle Opto Leveling; PG Ten Band EQ; and, then loaded a WAV and MP3 using Audacity.

Wasn't until I tried to upload this song that I realized I missed the fact that I won a PG Music 2012 Showcase Award. I hope you like this one...a little different.
Best to all, and thank you for the opportunity PG Music.

Hi Carolyne,

I have to say that I've just spent a very pleasant 6 minutes listening to your composition. It's clever, tasteful and thought provoking. I love the way you employed BIAB smile

Best regards,
Noel

P.S. Congratulations! It does indeed look like you are a prizewinner.

Not too often do we have spoken word with music. This is like the beat poetry of the 60's to some degree.

BTW: shoot PG an email... they might still be holding that prize for you.... I was several weeks late in discovering this myself..... they sent it right out.

Hi Carolyne,

Ahhh the spoken word backed by a cool track. It held my attention for the entire 6 minutes, and that is saying something. As noted already this was very cleverly written and soothingly (if that is a word) performed.

Have you posted anything else here in the past, I can't remember seeing or hearing any of your work before?

Back to the composition it was very refreshing indeed, I can't wait to hear more.

Later

Hi Danny,
Thanks for listening and the kind words. Yes, I have posted before. In fact, I won the 2012 Showcase Award. I can't believe that, I've never won anything. I didn't even know until I uploaded Seasons of My Time. Another song of mine is Syd's Song.

You have also helped me tremendously, because I haven't known how to describe my latest creation. Your reference to "the spoken word, backed by a cool track" has made the day. I hope you won't mind my using the quote. Below is one of the the song that I think won the award, not sure because I added several.

Hi Carolyne,

I'm sort of hypnotized by your "song" and your voice.
Very clever, very enjoyable.
Like the style a lot.

Carolyne,

Loved the poem and the music fit it beautifully. Your speaking voice is so musical I thought at any moment you were going to break into song.

So lovely.

A very professionally done piece.
I like the tone/sound of your voice.
To win a showcase award with so few posts shows the quality of your work, well done!

Mesmerizing! You have a beautiful voice for this type of song. Very well written, and thought provoking. Music really fits the song.

Different (and that's good) and well done. Enjoyed the listen!

Congrats on the award -- we also won last year (using "Mootsman" at the time) and have been having a large time with all the tracks. So many genres to explore.

It looks like I've dug up a bit of an 'oldie' here, but what a gem it turned out to be! Like diamonds & fine wine, age only makes it better smile

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."
