I`m very glad you enjoyed the laid back feel- listening to bamboo in the wind put me to sleep for many years living in Asia.

Ditto!

We enjoyed it. The mix presents a very nice soundstage on our monitors.

Nice work!

Hello, Robert

Very beautiful song!
Shakuhachi is very fitted to this tune.
I am very surprised that you play shakuhachi.
Not so many Shakuhachi players in Japan recently.
But we always hear Shakuhachi music in the town at the beginning of new year.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best Regards.

Thank you for your listen and comments Shigeki!

Unfortunately that`s not me on the Shakuhachi- its a synth RT with reverb added, which was the closest I could find to the real thing.

Hi Robert,

I enjoyed it! Personification is such a powerful lyric-writing tool. I've never had much songwriting success with taking the perspective of an inanimate object and breathing life into it. You've shown me how! I'll remember the lesson. Thank you.

It's amazing how you've managed to capture a feel that's uplifting, nostalgic and yet tinged with melancholy and sadness. I guess that's what Life is all about!

All the best for 2017,
Noel

Noel,
Yes, personification in song is tricky - I can`t think of many where it really works ( I`m A Little Teapot might be my favourite, though Mary Chapin Carpenter`s I`m A Town is close).I`m really pleased you felt the device works here - thanks so much for this!

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.

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."
