a song for all them warmongers out there ...  ===> Across the SeaLyrics: Across the Sea © Artspurg 2016 SABAM The steel bird’s gone and thus Fear’s in my heart of a coming day The lord is not with us When a gun man tells you how to pray They may keep the show; I’ll bail out and go Across the sea, don’t you bother me, will you let me be Paid me a load of jazz For a plane, a train, and a ferry out Tough road that it was A nightmare one should do without You may keep the show; I’ll bail out and go Across the sea, don’t you bother me, will you let me be Curse the cold and rain Stuck in the land of the free they say Fences block the way A man with a gun says you cannot stay You may keep the show; I’ll bail out and go Across the sea, don’t you bother me, will you let me be (don't bother me, just let me be, will you let me be ... )

Nifty production you have here. The message, the vocal and
the production all worked for us. If you get a chance list
the RT's used, etc.
Enjoyed it!

thanks, i started the arangement & trial with BIAB, came across a RT reggae style, and i think the only RT sugar left over from that messing around is the rhythm mandolin, except for the soloing: that's my good old Vanden F5, some added synth plugin, plus a Jr. Martin Bb cajun accordion for more sweets .... all the rest is redone. - F

J&B thanks for the update on RTs used... I identify with the message. If you find a place to go that isn't worse, please let me know. The problem with bailing and turning expat is that you end up being the expendable outsider when the SHTF globally. But that's a whole 'nother rant. ;-) I really liked the song... vocals were a bit low on my system, and the intro was kind of long.. I kept expecting the singing to start, but the intro kept going.

Updated the soundcloud upload with a new mix after some remarks, and added a RT with some filthy cheapo organ sound BTW .... PS the long intro is meant for the video images still in the works - F

I really like what you have happening here. That beat is very contagious, that is you have to tap your foot, a very nice Jamaican feel. The only problems with it IMHO are that the vocal is too low and you have a harp, at least I think it is a blues harp, playing along with the vocal. Drop the harp while singing and bring up the vocal and it would be over the top for me. This is only my opinion and others may or may not agree.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Level of vocals, always a problem and landmark for discussion. Put them already quite higher to my personal liking by someone's request. As the mix is meant to be a song demo basically, maybe you're right. I use some old Tannoy Little red monitors i learned to trust over the years for levels etc. Most modern mixes seem to be quite over compressed, tried to avoid that. BTW this song also works with just an acoustic guitar, maybe a sign of a working thing musically, maybe should try that. If you listen f.i. to Sting the vocals are sometimes very low-level and hardly understandable, at times almost drowning in a pool of reverb to boot. Now who am i to crtitisize that LoL: i enjoy listening to that stuff ... BTW the "blues harp" is a Bb Jr Martin onerow Cajun melodeon, and i pushed that up by someone elses request, probably a Cajun fan? ... - F

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."
