I didn't want to bump it up on the forum again. However, I did a Youtube.com upload for all interested ( Joanne FYI - He's Black and White like Emily!) Pancho's Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNri7te9RLw (aka Ode to a Cat), note: skip the ads or not, I just allow them in the slim hopes that youtube will bump up my video. Now for In the Attic (Going back in time) This song was built off my final assignment in the Coursera.org Songwriting Course ( Pat Pattison ). The song memo info follows. It is a rough draft using BIAB and then Sonar X2 for the vocal overdub. But, with BIAB even a rough draft can sound pretty nice ( if they could only BIAB a better vocalist I could just plug in )! Style is _SHSAMBA.STY (Samba w TambourineLoop (190 RS)) RealTracks in style: ~~464:Bass, Acoustic, Bossa Ev 140 RealTracks in style: ~~470:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Bossa Ev 140 RealDrums in style: Samba^1-a:Sticks , b:Ride Contemporary ******************* https://soundcloud.com/musingthemusic/in-the-attic-going-back-in-time-final/s-X968s Look I found a photograph and you and I are framed against the clear blue summer sky gently dancing dust , on lightbeams quietly set the scene In the attic, as i'm going back in time memories filter in, that make me laugh, that make me cry A single tear now falling on a smile I taste the salt, of ocean walks..... feel the love we shared In the attic, as going back in time in reaching now, the box that holds...so many more tips, and keys to memories fall like rain my mind is in a tailspin ...... rearranging all the stories that lie scattered on the floor The Bull Run that we did in Spain, death defied The gyroplane you taught me how to fly hand in hand, exotic lands, (B) the roads we travelled on In the attic, as i'm going back in time. so many trips, so many trains We shared the joys, shared the pain of all too soon, .... Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye Look, I found a photograph Thanks for giving it a listen. -Patrick P.S. I believe I sold a Garage Band enthusiast into purchasing BIAB for his MAC after "Ode to A Cat". That was a real nice BIAB Realtrack/band etc. etc.I think he will be very pleased. Last edited by nobilis; 06/20/14 05:54 PM.

Only suggestion is that maybe allow for more bars in the intro and maybe work on the ending. Somewhat sudden. Take care Mike B.

Overall, very nice work! Cheers, Mike My Music * Asus ROG Strix G15CF 32 GB DDR4 4TB HDD + 1 TB SSD NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 8GB Win 11 AKAI EIE PRO Sound Interface.

My only tweak would be to try to make the vocals easier to understand-possibly a bit more level and maybe some high end to catch the consonants better? Great work! Take care. Greg

OP PatrickH Apprentice Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 276	Thanks for all the feedback on how i might improve /tweak the production. It is in draft now, so i can take the suggestions and move it forward. I'm working on learning some nice Bossa rhythms on guitar to accompany it ( using "the brazilian guitar book"as a guide). And, hopefully i can overlay that with some of the nice BIAB stuff! Kind of hard to sing one rhythm and play another one but a nice challenge. Thanks again. Patrick http://youtube.com/musingthemusic https://soundcloud.com/musingthemusic

Almost expect Fred astaire and Ginger to come dancing out from the wings. Cheers. Last edited by RichMac; 06/21/14 11:37 PM. https://soundcloud.com/tuigorge

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.
