Here's a song I wrote in November 2014 for my wife in celebration of our 30th anniversary. I got a new music computer and audio interface in January for my birthday... So this is my first attempt at any recording with my new toys.  I went from a dual core with 4GB of ram and a Shure X2u interface that I've been using since 2009 to an 8 core with 16 GB of Ram and the M-Audio M-Track Quad interface... Well it's quite the difference!  My latency problems are a thing of the past. Anyway this song consists of 3 rhythm tracks from my Martin (Dean) acoustic and 1 track where I did some fills, vocal tracks, and 1 RT which is the Bass. I may do another version with full band RT's later. All comments welcome as always. Hope you enjoy, Greg http://achordmusic.mymusicstream.com/track/just-you-and-meJust You And Me ©2014 Words & Music: Greg Achord I look at you and I think about everything we thought it would be We were gonna change the world Strong as two that’s me and you facing everything in our path Eyes wide afraid of nothing at all As long as we are together I know everything will be alright We make each other the best that we can be I look at you and I ask myself how’d you know that she was the one The one that was gonna change your world I don’t ask how I don’t ask why some things are just meant to be I feel so lucky for everything I have Not everyone gets to feel this way some search all their lives To find the love that I found when I found you I look at you and I have no doubt this is how it was meant to be Just You And Me

I love it. Great ballad. Excellent write and performance. Would suggest if you do revisit the mix to turn the BG vocals up. I like this arrangement. Your vocals are superb on this.
You did a good job recording the live guitars. Played them nice also.

Hi Greg,
Nice overview of 30 years of happyness! Congratulations!
Guitarplay and vocals are lovely, your tremolo is special.
I would put the backings a little bit up to.
A classic!

Nice work. The tracks sound good... nice sounding acoustics and a good job on recording them to sound great.
Good job too on the writing of this song.
Congrats on 30 years.... that's a classic milestone. My wife and I passed that one and are headed to 32 this year.

Greg - very nice. Congrats on the 30th. That's a milestone these days!
"I may do another version with full band RT's later..."
I would really like to hear that version too. I can hear a band slipping in on the second verse.....a little piano....
Regards,
Bob

Fred Thanks Fred. My tremolo's been a blessing... and a curse since I started singing.  Such a pretty anniversary song and so romantic. Love your vocal and the guitars. Congrats on the new toys too.

+1, I agree that the bg vocals should come up. Good work all around. Tom Thank you Tom. I may have to render another copy and turn the BG vocals up since most seem to think they're too low.

I have re-done some of my BG vocals and updated the track. Because after closer scrutiny.... They were crap!  It turns out I could sing them much better than I did. I also turned them up. Greg

We didn't hear the song before the changes, but we certainly
enjoyed the latest version. We are at 34 years and
it has been wonderful and allows us to appreciate this
all the more. The write, the vocals, your guitars, the mix all
work together for a great tribute.
Like others have mentioned this is a fine production
that might could be "improved" with more RTs. Perhaps,
but we really enjoyed this more minimalist approach.
Nice!!
J&B

Simply beautiful, Greg.
Super guitar sound and expertly played.
Loved all the vocals and particularly the oohs which are a very professional touch.
Whether or not you can improve on this with more RTs, I'm not too sure - it's SO good as it stands. Maybe I'll just have to wait and see what you come up with.
Congrats on the 30 years.
ROG.

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."
