What a lovely song. It's perfect for the Eclipse, and a really neat way to capture the experience.

We didn't have a total eclipse here on the island, but we still got some really cool shadows, and the outside world had such eerie lighting!



Great job!


Cheers,

Great!

We enjoyed everything about it. Nice write, performance and arrangement. Cool drums...never listened to that RD

We had 97% of the eclipse at our home. Should have driven 80 miles for the entire experience but it was exciting watching our woods somewaht darken.

Thanks for sharing!

Clever set of lyrics, SD.

Very well presented.

Harmonies gave fullness and richness.

Excellent. Everything about this is spot on.

I think this is your best to date. Your vocals and lyrics are super!

Great backing tracks also!


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.

Thanks. Those Timpanis weren't a RealDrum track. They were actually in the orchestral midi drumkit on my Cassio keyboard. When a play the song on piano a use a low D, G in that spot but the Timpani synth only went down to G. I understand real Timpanis go down to low C. They might be too heavy to get down the stairs into my basement studio.

Glad you liked it.

Thanks. I'm not a perfectionist, obviously, but I do worry about the mixing every time. It's such an alien art-form for me. Thanks for listening.

I'm so glad you got to hear this one. I always love to hear from you. Of all the hundreds of great songs we have here on the Forum your song "It is what it is" is my #1 earworm.

Tyler,

27 posts, register in March 2017, welcome to the forum!

I'm so glad you liked it. You raised an important point. Songs need to be sung with emotion if they are to evoke an emotional response. Nice to know it hit the mark

Also, Thank you PGM for putting this song on the "Hot Topics" list.

Thanks for your kind comments. I used the TC Helicon harmonies in RealBand. I was going to sing the harmonies myself but thought better of it.

Thanks. That's high praise from someone who really knows. I guess I'm learning.

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."
