I decided to re-do it with my new setup. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs/when-the-world-was-real When the World Was Real David Snyder V1. I miss the 4 track reel to reel I miss that love that we used to feel It was strong as American Steel And brave men weren’t afraid to kneel My lover sang me Let it Be She reminded me Paul’s mother was named Mary My friends knew all the notes to Purple Haze Cause people could really play back in those days CH: Dylan asked me how it feels To be out there on my own Well I really don’t mind that much at all I’ve always been a rolling stone But I miss those days in a million ways It’s exactly how I feel I miss those days baby… I miss those days when the world was real V2. I kind of miss Led Zeppelin 4 The smell of vinyl in a record store Walk in the valley of nevermore Pull on my railroad boots and head right out the door I dream sometimes of that silver girl, and I wonder If she’s still sailing round the world If the bridge over troubled water fell into the sea Then she’s probably left stranded on the shore CH 2: Morrison said break on through Keep going to the other side But we never made it to the promised land I guess we must have missed the ride Well I look around and I’m a stranger babe It’s exactly how I feel I miss the magic baby…of the days When the world was real… Interlude: CH. 3 Dylan asked me how it feels To be out there on my own Well I really don’t mind that much at all I’ve always been a rolling stone But I miss those days in a million ways It’s exactly how I feel I miss those days baby… I miss those days when the world was real when the world was real like a 4 track reel to reel like the love we used to feel strong as American steel when the world was real when the world was real when the world was real All music and lyrics copyright 2014 by David Snyder **** Song Summary *********** Title: When the World Was Real Style is _ATMSPH3.STY (Atmosphere Chillout) RealTracks in style: 1536:Bass, Electric, PopBelieve Ev16 065 RealTracks in style: 2542:Pedal Steel, Background ModernBalladAtmosphere Ev16 065 RealTracks in style: 1543:Synth Pad, PopBelieve Ev16 065 RealTracks in song: ~508:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Dire Ev 085 RealTracks in song: ~896:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Rhythm FolkRock Ev 100 Produced and engineered by David Snyder.

You've certainly been a fountain of compositions in that short time. I admire how quickly you create and some of the great imagery and titles you come up with. All the best, Noel MY SONGS...

You did a good job of picking a few nostalgic memories and working them into a story that a whole generation can identify with. Chords were interesting too... nothing cookie cutter about this song. You're on a roll, buddy! Keep 'em coming! https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ey71h8ep047758h/AAC12jNM0Hz9Q8zsh5iDeqNHa?dl=0

I like your vocal style -just the right amount of world weary in the feeling. Robert Last edited by Robertkc; 07/24/16 04:38 AM.

I really liked your vocals on this one and the lyrics were spot on, especially for this old timer! This is a keeper. 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. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

floyd jane Veteran Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 11,675 Florida	Terrific write, David... you can pull off those type references like no one else - your delivery screams "I believe every word of this!"... a gritty performance - a great blend of Bob and the Boss... The guitars sound good. I thought the bass needed to be a lot more prominent and the drums a bunch deeper and louder (just opinions, of course) - a snare instead of the stick in the verses... (a big one)... I really like this! Almost forgot... that little piece of piano at the end (a mistake?)...extend that some (20 seconds?) and fade it slowly.... I was disappointed when it stopped... floyd 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

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."
