Well, first, I really like the song. Excellent write and the vocal arrangement is great for the song. Like some of the others, I'm a bit on the fence with the interaction between the two guitars and to my ear, the bass never seemed to find a comfortable place to sit in the song. Lebz has a wonderful and unique style and it seemed BIAB music wasn't in the same groove. It may have worked better for him to record both guitar parts and used a more simple bass part. Just my opinion and not to diminish the fantastic job and top notch recording you guys turned out. I'll be listening again.

I enjoyed the song! I agree with all the nice things that have already been said. But... I fall on the "have issues with the guitar" side of the fence. I think the guitar is a bit too bright, so calls attention it itself. If you did a low-pass filter on it - at least, during the singing - that might help it sit in the mix a bit better. One of the things I love about DAWS is being able to "fix" the timing of parts by slicing and sliding parts around. Of course, it's possible to sink way too much time into that sort of thing. But when you don't feel like re-recording a part, it's a wonderful thing.

Sometimes I think Lebz is better without BIAB at all. For our second album together "Duo" we just used BIAB drums to get the groove and record with and then muted the drums in the final version. Lebz recorded a bit of bass so the album is just bass, guitar and vocals. He has such a unique way of playing the guitar that it is actually enough. When we perform live we have two voices, two guitars (or his guitar and my uku) and a kick drum and seem to get quite a nice full sound.

The song was written and recorded in one afternoon and I think it would be a better recording if we lived with it and even performed the song for a few months before recording. Also I could have been a little more careful in editing the guitar.

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."
