Rob. https://soundcloud.com/ironbarkbob/the-miller-by-robert-stanley The Miller There once was miller who's mill was down bye the stream. Awake early morning and stumbled away from his dreams. Bagging and grinding and toiling away at the mill. Though work never faltered ambitions bothered him still. He worked every day at the mill my love He worked day at the mill He worked every day at the mill my sweet. Until There once was a seamstress who worked neath candle light. There once was a seamstress who work till late at night. Both mending and sewing her work would never be done. A life of hard labor and paid with a pitiful some. She worked till the household was still my love She worked till the household was still She worked till the household was still my love. Until While delivering some flour he met her and tried not to stare. A young handsome miller was more than her young heart could bare. They vowed to each other no longer would they be apart. The miller and seamstress now both would make afresh start. He worked every day at the mill my love She worked till the household was still He worked every day at the mill my sweet. Until There once was a couple with three boisterous children at home. The more time together the stronger their true love had grown. x2 He worked every day at the mill my love She worked till the household was still He worked every day at the mill my sweet.

This is a song that could have been the background to my early days on this planet. A nice pleasant listen Alyn My showcase songs My story

You have such a good take on so many varied bygone styles. I also want to comment that you get such clean recordings and mixes. That is quite a feat in itself. Maybe you can elaborate on your gear, set up and recording process sometime. Keep 'em coming. I always enjoy your songs.

I like how the steel guitar sits in the mix quite a lot too. Last edited by nobilis; 05/05/15 04:30 PM.

You've done everything right. Great arrangement, like the way you have the steel guitar present but back in the background where it belongs. You didn't mention what the pad was way in the background but it was very tasty. Your voice shines on ballads like this. Excellent vocal and harmony.

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."
