Thank you for this one Bob.

I find it very refreshing to listen to something that sounds so real and worthwhile. Your vocal suits perfectly.
I like the grittyness, imagery and emotion and also very much the sun coming up on a new day at the end.
Let's hope it does.
Two thumbs up.

Cheers.

Masterful writing. At the same time a photo rendered in words and so much more.

It takes a special talent to write so well, about something so politically charged and not preach about the politics of it.

I especially love the "tears upon the heathers" line. So vivid!


And, I like what you did with the reverb on your vocals.

I like what Scott said. Tough subject. Handled with care and looked at with the poetic imagery you are so good at. The production is great and really brings home your message. Extremely well done, Tom

Really nice job here, Robert! The spoken word-esque vocal delivery words wonderfully in this instance. It gives it a very eerie tone, and helps the lyrics hit really hard. Not to mention, the mixing job here is fantastic.

Thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

A lean production, but very effective.

Well done.

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

Hello, Robert

The combination of acoustic piano and mute guitar lasting at 8 beats creates a very nice atmosphere.
Your vocals are perfect with the accompanied tracks.
As Noel said, it's a very powerful composition and your arrangement and your performance catapult it into the territory of exceptional songwriting.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

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."
