You’ve heard about my methods

This ain’t no spelling bee

Patience is no virtue

When it comes to me

Particularly liked those lyrics. Very good write!! Interesting subject matter. RTs are used perfectly-arrangement and solo couldn't have come out any better if these guys played it custom. Very well put together. Enjoyed a lot!! Take care. Greg

Fred.

You really HIT THE MARK with this one! Excellent start to finish.

Terrific, interesting write. Well sung.

Love the BAND! on this - great combination! - You're right... this sounds like a Neil Young song and production, everything about it... like a cross between the "After The Gold Rush" sound and the "Tonight's The Night" sound. Excellent mix.

Excellent! Worth many listens.

Fred, I am always drawn to that major to minor chord progression in the same line of a song. You did it well here! Also, I think most folks can relate to the line "patience is no virtue when it comes to me". Thanks for your work! Torrey.

Love your posts, Fred! That distorted rhythm guitar sounds absolutely awesome and transitions excellently into the chorus. Great write, too -- really engaging lyrics and the picture you paint fits perfectly with the instrumental.

Fred,
I very much enjoyed the unusual inspiration that comes through well in the lyrics - a nice feeling of menace there!
Terrific production and spot on guitar solos.

Great RT band! Well selected and mixed. It has the "pro sound"
on our monitors for sure.

We are fans of film noir also...as Robert said "a nice feeling of menace there!"

Everything is nailed. The arrangement, vocals...heck, the entire production
is hittin' the note.

Superb!

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."
