Carolyne, this sure has a great message. Your phrasing is terrific and provides a fine vocal performance. I like the stops near the end. Your mix and production skills are at a high level. Nicely done. Tom

Hi Carolyne,
I must have missed this last week when you posted it (I've been away).

I think it's a beautiful song with a great message, and I love your voice. In my opinion you are a pro! Sorry to say that I still like the parts where your voice sits by itself. You have the star voice, and to my ears it just sounds unnecessary to add more voices when you sing. That's not a criticism, just an observation.

Thanks Pat. Love the input. While I would characterize it far less generously, I will admit to getting all warm and fuzzy hearing that anyone thinks I have a star quality voice. That said, this is a song of inspiration, praise and worship. For the sake of reverence, the real stars in the song are supposed to be the voices representing a chorus of Angels, or perhaps they're other people praying it forward... I don't know, I just wrote the thing.

I did, however, make a concerted effort that when I speak of my own trials, I sing alone, but when I want the prayer to be heard I felt the need to lift up the voices and sing out so that the message is carried for the neighbors, the poor, the sick, the children, etc.
As for any future harmony singing? I'm thrilled to know I don't have to, because I find it rather difficult!
Take care,
-Carolyne

You have so much soul to your voice! Also, that title...wow! Did you think of that, or heard it somewhere? Either way, it's great! Nice job!

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."
