Hi Noel

Somehow I missed your song, so am commenting way too late. Apologies.

What an interesting theme for a tune! I really like the way you have delivered a birthday song so well disguised. All fits together nicely. The short viola and guitar breaks provide a nice fill too.

Well done. Thanks

Trevor

Very nice Noel,

I ALWAYS enjoy your singing. The arrangement is interesting with the dual acoustic guitars, organ and finally the viola. The production is clear and precise.

Jim,

I appreciate the kind words. Thank you.

With the arrangement, I used multiriff in RB to generate two different generations of RT 362. I then panned each version of RT 362 to opposite sides of the stereo stage. This approach often to give a fullness to the overall sound.

It must just be about time for you a new song from you smile

All the best,
Noel

Hi cavalier blanc,

Thank you for having a listen. I appreciate the positive feedback.

The nylon guitar that I used for the 4-bar fill is...

Realtrack # 2200: Guitar, Nylon, Background CountryBrent Ev 085

I've found that sometimes when I need a less energetic solo passage, the "background" Realtracks can be very useful.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Mike,

Thank you for the listen. Writing lyrics used to be an impossibility for me. Then I went to a Pat Pattison seminar. Pat showed me the 'how to' and, ten years later, I think I find putting lyrics together easier than arranging a song. In all honesty, I find it very satisfying playing around with words these days.

I've nearly finished another song and your above comment has inspired me to document the process that I used when I wrote the lyrics. I'll post that information along with the song when I finish it. Maybe the insight will be useful to you.

All the best with your jazz composing!
Noel

Dan,

Thank you for jumping into the thread and taking time to listen. I appreciate the feedback. I don't know about you but I find it very hard to hear whether a mix is good or not by the end of the process. It's always a challenge to know when enough tweaking is enough.

All the best with your songwriting!
Noel

Hi Pete,

You flatter me! LOL! Thanks, though. You've shone a bit of sunshine my way and that's a great way to start the day.

What a great song. I love the lyrics of the song, the choice of the viola, and the classic rock/country feel.

Just listened to "just a little after midnight" and wanted to say how great your voice and guitar sounds over this track. You have great pitch. I could sure hear you singing a Jimmy Buffet song. Track sounds great. Thanks for the kind words about "Breaking Through". Torrey.

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.

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."
