Wow, this is so good! And is it so incredibly well mixed. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I have this supernatural ethereal feeling that you worked with another producer on the forum, some type of musical guru, or super genius, who stood by you like a Guardian angel of sonic clarity, and carefully guided you under the light of heaven's bright beams, until the song and mix was pristine, and became an example of absolute and sublime perfection, and wholly acceptable in the presence of the divine. Don't know why I have that strange feeling--but I just do. Anyway, this is phenomenal y'all. Great song and stellar mix. Nice and warm!! Guitar is just right!!!!!!

Nature should not allow me and sublime perfection to be referenced in the same post. I don’t know how that got through. Regardless of the astronomical improbability of that we thank you! J&B

Yeah! Very different.
Janice is awesome as usual, love the way she phrases "snake oil"!
Those background vocals are very cool too.
And a big tip of the hat to Peter, I love what he brought to this.
Nice one guys, enjoyed the listen!

Another tremendous vocal workout by Janice, with some extremely cool backup singing.
So well done...

Well, team, you never fail to surprise, you never fail to deliver.
This is no exception. That doesn't mean for a moment that it's not exceptional, actually it really is.
The answer-back lyrics give another dimension to a truly great sound.
Cool, smooth, funky, great.

Was this the song you were referring to the other day? This song came out so good! The vocals are so on point and really bring the song to life. You guys all did a really good job on this one, and thank you for bringing us a genre we don't see too often in the showcase!
Cheers,

Janice, Bud & Peter,
Wow! This is a blast- I agree with all the positive comments above.
I might have missed any reggae you`ve done before but everything about this tells me you must have been around this style before.
Above all the production & performance highs its also a really good write- not sure I get all the lyric references ( well, ok I know what "night soil" is), but who cares, Mr Fox is an interesting character.
Well done- way to have some fun with your songwriting!
Robert

Hi there Peter and J&B.
Absolutely COOL.
A super smooth reggae turned soulful by Janice's wonderful voice. Hey Janice, and
what about those fabulous "Rock-Chick" backing vocals? Inspired.
Peter - some very lovely guitar work in there. So effective, so in tune with the feel of
the track. SO professional in it's execution.
Bud - Excellent mix. Clear, but still powerful.
Oh, and great cajon playing too!
Loved the whole thing.
ROG.

It is so good. I can't put my finger on it either. Each of the instuments and vocals so well defined and so well blended and balanced. Awesome job , Bud, Janice and Peter..

Who let that fox out? Get the dogs!
Y'all never miss. Ditto to all that has been said already.
Ever instrument sits perfectly. Gorgeous mix.
Peter's guitar - a perfect compliment.
Janice and the Girls have outdone themselves. Again.
Many listens.
Amen!

Very well done! I'm definitely getting some summery vibes with this one. The way you incorporated the reggae aspect here was very well done! It is wonderfully catchy as well. I wouldn't bat an eyelash hearing this on the radio among other classics. Thanks so much for sharing
Cheers,

Hello, Janice & Bud, Peter
Janice's Background vocals are wonderful.
I was carried away.
As David said, it was so incredibly well mixed.
Peter also has a very good atmosphere.
Wonderful collaboration!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

The soulful bluesy vocal laid on top of the rhythmic reggae track really sets this one off into the stratosphere. Excellent tasty guitar work and some beautifully executed cajon playing capture the groove. The inspired hand claps on the three was a nice touch. Perfection on the mix. A nice little side trip to the land of distant genres, Tom

Thanks for all the comments and mentions on Fox Den(just back from a short break). It was great to work again with Janice & Bud - those backing vocals are amazing, and it's always a joy to assist with what will inevitably be another great song.

Janice/Bud/Peter...
Who let that fox out? Get the dogs!
Y'all never miss. Ditto to all that has been said already.
Ever instrument sits perfectly. Gorgeous mix.
Peter's guitar - a perfect compliment.
Janice and the Girls have outdone themselves. Again.
Many listens.
Amen!

Thanks floyd for the kind words...and thanks for getting us to think more about BGV's and their mixing. And, yeah, hoping that fox is on the run... J&B

Thanks floyd --much appreciated Wow this is so creative. Very cool song. Super vocal and love the harmonies jumping in behind the vocal. Peters guitar was so unique and original. So good. Boy I agree with David on the mix. It is so good. I can't put my finger on it either. Each of the instuments and vocals so well defined and so well blended and balanced. Awesome job , Bud, Janice and Peter.. Thanks for those comments Scott Peter

Very well done! I'm definitely getting some summery vibes with this one. The way you incorporated the reggae aspect here was very well done! It is wonderfully catchy as well. I wouldn't bat an eyelash hearing this on the radio among other classics. Thanks so much for sharing Thanks Deryk. Glad we could post this after you’d commented on the lack of reggae in the forum. It was timely! J&B You guys were flat cooking on this one, loved the SSSSSSSSSnake oil , Janice, loved the guitar Peter, and you mixed to a teeeee Bud!!! Thanks! You mentioned everything we had hoped would work. J&B

fantastic work Janice and Bud! Very easy to drink coconut water to. Excellent ambience with the vocals too. Great work as always! Not much left to say, other than that a heck of a lot of fun to listen to. Love the chorus echoing the parts. Hey y'all, we appreciate you listening and commenting. Thanks! J&B

Hello, Janice & Bud, Peter
Janice's Background vocals are wonderful.
I was carried away.
As David said, it was so incredibly well mixed.
Peter also has a very good atmosphere.
Wonderful collaboration!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thanks Shigeki! We always appreciate and look forward to your comments. J&B

The soulful bluesy vocal laid on top of the rhythmic reggae track really sets this one off into the stratosphere. Excellent tasty guitar work and some beautifully executed cajon playing capture the groove. The inspired hand claps on the three was a nice touch. Perfection on the mix. A nice little side trip to the land of distant genres, Tom Thank you Tom. Janice was tickled you mentioned her percussion and we were glad you liked the claps on the 3. We felt that gave it a little more of the reggae groove. Perfection on the mix? Well, coming from you that makes me think maybe I just ougta stop right now! J&B

Cool.
I'd have loved a little more accented reggae guitar rhythm but hey.
The guitar licks reminded me of the augmentation done at Island Studios on Marley's Catch A Fire.
Cool.
Cheers

Cool. Thanks Ray. We appreciate it and I'm sure Peter does also re the guitar. Yeah that accented rhythm could be stronger but this is only the third attempt at reggae over the years. I tried to enhance a bit with the claps but if we attempt another I think we'll immerse ourselves in some classic reggae early on Thanks J&B

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."
