In 1993 I composed the songs for my first gospel album with my band "Single Heart"...to celebrate it's silver anniversary I'm taking the original vocals and some of the guitar work from the 1993 recordings and remixing them with totally new sound tracks made with Band-in-a-Box 2018...this is one example...I used style BRAMBLE.STY Bramble Fast Folk with Brushes at 144 bpm in the key of E...I always hated the tracks from 1993 but love the new BiaB ones so far.

He Calmed the Storm Within
Writer (words/music)Dan Simmons
Copyright 1993 Daniel B. Simmons

I was on sin's restless sea drifting hopeless, endlessly
And I could not find a thing to bring me peace
Drowning in the waves of pain and staring off into the rain
I prayed for a way to find a release
Upon the waters of this sea, within the storm He Came to me
And He gave to me what I had found nowhere
A source beyond the storms I knew
A solid rock to hold on to
And a shelter from my sin and my despair

He's my brdge over troubled waters
He's the Master of the raging wind
I know when I was going under,
I felt His arms around me
He whispered peace be still
And calmed the storms within

As I sail these troubled seas, I sense the joy the victory
Though winds may rage and round me billows roll
And though the storm it seems so frightening, within Jesus' love I'm hiding
I have found a refuge for my soul
And as I stand within His will I realize that He is still
The God who will supply my every need
Oh, His Spirit is my sword and shield
His loves the power that I feel
And His grace by faith has set me free

He's my brdge over troubled waters
He's the Master of the raging wind
I know when I was going under,
I felt His arms around me
He whispered peace be still
And calmed the storms within

He'll be your brdge over troubled waters
He's the Master of the raging wind
I know when I was going under
I felt His arms around me
He whispered peace be still
And calmed the storms within

Right off the bat - those humming harmonies are captivating. There is a lot of power and sincerity behind this tune, and you can really hear it in the vocals. It is an incredibly strong song, and I can't help but imagine how good this would sound in a live setting.

Great work, and thanks so much for sharing!


Cheers,

Thanks Bob for the kind comments...harmony was easy then (remember the vocals are 25 years old :))

That was really well done.

I can see the setting folk/country venue, and that song being played and sung with those harmonies just as the sun is setting.

Awesome sound and arrangement

Love everything about this! It's a beautiful song and so uplifting. Fabulous harmonies.

And you did a great job of mixing the old recorded tracks with the new realtracks. I'd like to know more details about how you accomplished that. You made it all fit together so seamlessly.

Josie...some of these songs were really tricky...they were originally recorded on an ADAT 8 track tape deck and tape speed though it was a digital format by the end of a song did not always stay in sync...long story short I tried to match the BPM's and hope for the best 'cause I had no sync (MIDI, time clock,etc.) except my ear...some worked and some didn't. When you consider there was a 25 year separation between the two...well I'm very pleased...thanks for the comments...I'm glad you enjoyed it...I have five others done as well from that album.
Thanks again for your comment
Dan

Loved everything about this! Can’t give an improvement comment on any aspect of it, and on top of it all, so pleasing to listen to it. I especially liked the introduction of the tambourine towards the end as a slight added element to highlight the repeated chorus.

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."
