Di and I don't usually make a public issue of our faith. So, just a quick comment about this tune. Many songs have been written about how people of faith believe in God. It's our opinion that He also believes in us. This song attempts to express that sentiment. We wrote this back in 2012 and no longer have a full list of the tracks. But, here is what I (Alan) can remember - I think this is correct, I know the style, key and tempo are correct and I'm pretty sure of the rest: Style is C_CLOUDS.STY (Clouds - Top 40 Country R&B) RealTracks in song: 366:Bass, Electric, Country Ev 065 RealTracks in song: 1542:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopBelieve Ev16 065 RealTracks in song: 887:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment FolkPopPrairie Ev 100 RealDrums in Song: NashvilleEven8^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride There's also a Synth track but I don't recall which one it is. It's in the key of Eb @ 80 bpm. You'll notice it has an evolving chorus. It's not too common to do that but we thought it appropriate for this song. https://soundcloud.com/alananddi/he-believes-in-meHe Believes In Me © 2012 Alan D. David, BMI / Diana Bowers, BMI (v1) When burdens cast their shadow, on my weary soul And the light grows dim, from my cloak of sin I know just where to go CHORUS 1 I call once more to Jesus, he will set me free He gives me strength and courage, He believes in me (v2) When I have shame and worries, and Satan takes command Then I reach out, and refuse my doubt When I feel my Father’s hand CHORUS 2 I trust my Lord and Savior, He will always be The truth that won’t dessert me, He believes in me (v3) I suffer greed and vengeance, and lust can rule my day And I call his name, sometimes in vain But he loves me anyway CHORUS 3 I ask Him for forgiveness, and love eternally In spite of all my failings, He believes in me REPEAT CHORUS 3 Yes, He believes in me

Di is so pleased with the reception this has received. She has no idea how good she is. She says I just say that because I'm her hubby. Comments like yours, Rob & Anne-Marie's and others help to convince her she's not too shabby behind the mic. Thanks sagin, we both appreciate it very much. Alan & Di

Greg,
Hi Greg,
Thank you so very much for your most kind comments.
Most people are nearly shocked when we tell them our recording process. As far as the backing tracks, we do not use a DAW whatsoever. All the mixing, effects, panning, tone, punch ins and punch outs, etc. - literally everything - is done right there on the on the chord entry interface. They never leave the BIAB interface where we saved the initial track recordings. We do not use Real Band, Sonar, Cubase or any of those programs - simply the BIAB chord entry and song creation interface. We then record that using Audacity as an mp3 @ 256 rate.
Now, to your real question:
We record the vocal using Audacity and save it as an mp3 at the 256 rate or as a wave file. We use a cheap ($74.00) Behringer unpowered mixer. We use my guitar amp (Peavey Nashville 112) to power the mixer. That's where we manipulate the voice for tone and reverb. The spring reverb of the guitar amp is so much warmer than digital reverb. That's what allows her voice to lay so smoothly in the mix. We tried digital reverb and it sounds dry and "tinny", no matter how we adjusted it.
We run a cable from the amp's "Headphone" jack to the laptop's "mic in" jack.
We play the recorded backing tracks on the music player and record the vocal through Audacity as the backing tracks play in the background. We can hear it all, voice & backing tracks, through the laptop's headphone jack.
We plug the mic into the mixer. We set all the tone controls on the mixer to a neutral position. We run a cable from the mixer "out" to one of the guitar inputs on the amp. We then adjust the tone controls and reverb depth on the amp. We control the vocal volume with pre-gain and the master gain.
We do not record the voice dry. We record it with the reverb from the beginning. It's probably all in our head, but when we hear ourselves in the headphones with the reverb, we tend to sing better. Of course, like I said, it's probably just a head game - but if works, so what!
We use an AT 2035 condenser mic (about $160.00). We tried 5 or 6 different mics, some as expensive as $600.00, but kept coming back to this one. It's a perfect fit for her voice.
I hope I've answered your questions and given a little helpful information you didn't specifically ask about.
Thanks again for the kind words! Best to you,
Alan & Di

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."
