You just continue to pump out great material.

I wish I knew the secret.

This up-front driving delivery excels.

You continue to elevate this product to new levels.

Every time.

(Wow is an understatement.)



Trev - what a very nice review! I sincerely appreciate it! We are all fortunate to have the magic of BIAB to express our music. It is a most amazing thing...

This is good stuff. The drums sound fabulous as does everything else... Vocal, backing tracks, mix, etc.
For some reason this has sort of a Neil Diamond thing going for me. cool
First time it hit the chorus brought a big grin to my face!

Great Job!

Greg


Greg - thanks for that nice review. I could see this as a Neil Diamond thing - when he gets in his "mean thing"... smile

Thanks, Tom...

I like the "staggered" (relative to the lead vox) background vocals. They add to the energy and intensity.

The song, music and lyrics, is like a good steam locomotive barreling down the middle of my head.

Great job once again on the production.

much enjoyed!


Thanks, Lawrence. Getting the piano right in a mix is one of the hardest things, I think... appreciate all the nice comments!!

David - appreciate the nice comments. It's actually a good thing that the lyric didn't "hit home" for you... that means you never had a girlfriend like this - that drove you to the point of screaming "Grow up!"... This lyric was actually written when I was about 24...a chaotic time in the relationship...

Ooops...time to get this one done and out of the way...

A great rocker, great lyrics and melody.

Agree about earlier comments on hard panning toms.
How do you mix your drum loops? Have you added some kind of compression to them? One or more tracks, bus-mixing?

And your vocals – outstanding! Really enjoying you taking out your american rocker potential!

Thanks for the ride :-)
Einar


Einar - Thanks for having a listen. The drums loops in this case are a stereo drum mix - just like RealDrums are - and just like them, I added the same Studio One preset that I always do - which includes an EQ and a multiband compressor. I just drop that one and then don't touch it...

Always impressed.

Steve


Steve - glad you stopped by (hope we will see more of you this year!). I'm actually surprised that this might be a favorite - it's kinda "the rough side of me"... smile

People have already mentioned many things...the lyrics, drums..all of that...fantastic.

Personally, there is so much working right, that I hate to limit it. I would like to say though, that I really like the hook extending into the piano at the end of the choruses. So cool. The organ coming into build into the next section...awesome! Tearing down and rebuilding that chorus towards the end, beautiful. You did SO MUCH to create interest in listening.

Loved it!

Strangely, as I'm writing this, Born in the USA is playing in the room I'm in. Hmmm....a sign?


Coincidence? I don't think so.

Hello, floyd

Very pop and powerful!
This is exactly American Rock song.
As others said, Bruce Springsteen and Neil Diamond!
Your vocal is very powerful and comfortable as usual.
The great bear of the bass drums is also wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

I don't think BRILLIANT would be too strong a word for this!!! I love the attitude! I love the energy! I love the arrangement and performance! Reminds me of a Springsteen tune...exploding with emotion and passion. You're the man Floyd!! This rocks!!! Take care. Greg

floyd,

I was just scanning through the forum to see what I've missed and I discovered that this song is one of the many!

I listened to "Grow Up" quite a while back but, for some reason that's now lost in history, I didn't say anything!

Your singing, your writing, your arranging are fantastic (as always). And the production... wow!! It's spectacular. I cannot believe just how much sparkle and shine you manage to add to a mix. This is such a good listen!

Really enjoyed it... and then some!

All the best,
Noel

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."

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
