Alan and Di,



What a wonderful power ballad.

As I sat hear listening, I found myself being very moved by your singing, your arrangement, your music and words. Images of those who were dear to me and whom I've lost over the years filled my mind. I sincerely appreciated the memories that you brought back for me. Thank you.

With gratitude,
Noel

Irrespective of your caveats smile it's a fine song.

I would not think anything more or less than the guitar as is would be better. It fits very well.

And your vocal chops are packed with soul and that's always what counts in our book.

Big sounding and well done!

Noel,

What does one say after such a wonderful review? A sincere and heartfelt "Thank You" is what comes to mind. Above and beyond your kind words, you certainly make my years of music "dabling" seem worthwhile. As soon as that opening piano riff finished, as I was putting this together, I knew I had a "Big" song somewhere in the making - big, as in powerful. It's one I worked pretty hard at as i was restructuring it. Of I could find a "big" female voice to sing this, it would be the perfect topping for the music tracks. Until then - you're stuck with me!

Again, many sincere thanks! Wishing you and yours the very best.

Alan

Janice & Bud,

Thank you so very much! i think you're right about not adding much more to it. the only exception is, perhaps, bringing the strings a little more forward on the choruses. That's an easy fix.

Again, many, many thanks! Best to both of you.

Alan

Hello, Alan

Very dramatic ballad!
A minor part and a major part are delicately combined, and It definitely raises the hearts of the listeners.
I think it is an exquisite composition technique.
Not only your guitar but also your vocal are great.
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."
