Another recent original I did for Song A Week Challenge. Bass and drums courtesy of Band In A Box. Not entirely happy with the performance but I ran out of "A Week" :-)

I've had BIAB for at least 10 years, used it only sporadically, but more in the last few months than ever before. Still a newbie. And I only just discovered this user forum; there is some truly fantastic music here. In the future I'll aspire to measure up :-)


Lyrics:
There you are with them same old cryin eyes, guess I’m
one of those 12 steps made you sorry for your lies
Baby you may have found yourself you may know what to do, but
honey we both been here before this ain’t nothin new

And here we go again got one last cross to bear
you’re one of those steps this fool took back lookin for my share, well
fool me twice you know the shame is still on you
we been down this road before this ain’t nothin new

I wish you well while you struggle to your last. I know
blessed is the one who makes some bargain with their past
But leave with my memories lord I have a few
but we ain’t making it any more this ain’t nothin new
... this ain’t nothin new ...
....this ain’t nothin new

This is really excellent - a very cool Neil Young vibe. Good mix as well.

Nice work here, kybordr smile I don't think you need to measure up too much, because this sounds really well done! I love the gentle groove of this one, and how well put together the arrangement is. Not to mention that guitar solo is something else!

Overall, a really nice tune smile Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

kybordr,

Welcome to the Showcase.

This is a good listen. Has a mid-70's Rock sound that we grew up with. Nicely done.

You mention BIAB for drums and bass. Are you doing everything else? Keyboards (no doubt) and guitars?

Good vocal and good mix.

This was a really great song. It has a smoothness to it that I really link. I think you did a pretty stellar job here. smile I see you're relatively new to the forums, so welcome if I haven't already said so!

Hi

Love the slinky backing particularly the guitar
and the world weary lyrics.

Good one.

Cheers.

Yeah! Very much a Neil Young vibe happening, "down by the river" type groove. Your lead guitar work reminds me of him too.

Great vocal, great job on the live instruments too.

Welcome to the forum, looking forward to hearing more from you!

kybordr,

A belated welcome to the forum!

It's Sunday morning here in Australia and I'm sitting here listening and REALLY enjoying what I'm hearing. You've done a great job with this composition. Your vocals, arrangement and mix sound excellent!

Thoroughly enjoyable. You've captured and delivered a truly great performance.

Excellent songwriting. Would really appreciate to hear more, that's for sure.

The lead break sits perfectly, and the overall feel is flawless. That bass line rocks.

We agree with Bob on this, that is has a Neil Young feeling to it.
Good work!

Cool vibe!! I think you chose the perfect band. The vocal is good but could be a little more forward. Absolutely love this line

fool me twice you know the shame is still on you

A great twist on the classic saying!

Enjoyed this!! Take care. Greg

I particularly liked the lyrics on this - glad I caught it this time around.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

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."
