Thanks for all the comments on my last post, "Victoria".

With this one, my assignment was to write a ballad with a girl's name for a 50's band. This demo, "Leighann" is all Band in a Box 2015. Some samples from Sonar X3 in there too. Rode NT1000, ART Pro Channel preamp. Not something I would have done on my own but sometimes an assignment makes you think outside the box if you will excuse the pun.

Wonderful!! I didn't catch all the lyrics but heard some wonderful images in there. The arrangement is perfect, and the vocal very passionate and heartfelt (heard a little bit of Dead influence in there). The sax just sings. Great wistful quality to the song. Just loved it!! Take care. Greg

A very enjoyable listen. The chorus melody is especially nice.

The sax is a great addition (at the right time).

(you might consider listing what RTs you are using and a lyric...)

Leighann

Photographs in rubber bands with old thing
holding hands giving her you class ring
you're there again and suddenly the light turns green

her cherry hair flowing off her shoulder
counting stars wishing we were older
went chasing dreams but there was just a seat for one

Leighann why'd I ever let you go
why whas I the last to know
when you started walking away
Leighann we were gonna run away
maybe California
jut a dream that faded away

I stop for gas some cigarettes and soda
it starts to pass I'm thinking that its over
I start the car it's just like any other day

Jeep Cherokee pulling in the next bay
some cherry hair showing just a little grey
a knowing glance then we both go on our way

chorus sax solo chorus

Cool! Solid write, and you've got a strong feel for melody. Pleasant listen.

I'd can't help but notice the chorus uses the word "away" three times... But rhyming them with "California" wipes that sin clean. wink

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

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."
