These Days This one started as a piano demo Chris sent me a couple of weeks ago and progressed from there. Initially I built a bed with BIAB but ended up replacing everything except the bass track. Drums: EZDrummer2 Bass: 776:Bass, Acoustic, PopWaltz Ev 085 I'm playing the guitar tracks and Chris did the piano and Pad tracks. Mixed with reaper using plugins from Waves and iZotope, mastered with Ozone 8 and LMC. These Days (2018, Christiane Spruit)V1: You know my love life is on the run rainy days they may come life is like a breeze and we both know these days to come V2: All that we've been through me and you when the wind blew hard did we fall apart? we can make a stand but we both know these days to come V3: All these years my love we won and lost but most of all we paid the cost we've cried some tears no need to fear these days to come Solo Bridge: I know nothing that I wouldn't do for you there is no doubt in my mind no doubt to be finding you Love is in me, love is in you V4 (repeat V1): You know my love life is on the run rainy days they may come love is like a breeze and we both know these days to come All comments welcome! 08/16: made a couple of minor tweaks to the mix and uploaded to soundcloud. Not perfect, but as close as I can get for now

Dave & Chris,
EXTRAORDINARY!
Excellent Rock write. Chris' best vocal yet (and they have all been excellent lately). I really like the processing on it.
Nice piano. Opened the song well.
The drums ROCK. Great sound.
Dave - your solos on this are goose-bumpily! LOVED 'em!
I thought the guitar hits in the last part were a little "too crisp" - could be a bit "warmer" (Everything else about them is good - they work).
This is excellent!

Love the guitar solo tone. Very reminiscent of Gary Moore. Very strong. I can't pick out anything to complain about. Well done.

Dave and Chris this is a very cool song. Very different from the last couple of song you have done. Chris vocal was so good. Excellent piano work as well. I listened the song a couple of times. I think Dave (GocartMoz) hit the nail on the head with the Gary Moore vibe on your guitar solo. Slow and lingering notes with such a cool vibrato. Each song you do seems to top the last. Tough to do as they have been all so good. I am a fan

Love the guitar solo tone. Very reminiscent of Gary Moore. Very strong. I can't pick out anything to complain about. Well done.
Dave Took the words right out of my mouth. A female Gary Moore on vox and Gary himself on lead guitar. We lost a good pone when he died in Spain. This is so well done in every possible way. Simply fabulous! This is one great song and production. WOW, over and over. Wish I could come up with all the accolades it deserves. However many of them there are, this deserves every one of them. I could blabber on forever how good this is, but I think you have figured out I like it so danged much! Best to both of you. ALan

This probably your best to date. Great vocal! Super piano and mix. Couple that with that great guitar part and you have a winner.
Both of you should be very proud of this one.

Dave & Chris, A big WOW! Much as I like Chris` more abstract lyrics, the more accessible ones here are such a good vehicle for her voice... the whole thing just smokes,,, even before the guitar solo! Right up there with the best you`ve produced.

Really well done! A great song through and through. Really catchy, a great groove, and a amazing vocal performance. Just a great tune - it hits all the boxes for me in terms of what makes a good rock song. Not a thing I'd change on this one - be proud! Thanks for sharing

fj Thanks for the excellent comments, floyd! They made my day and Chris' too when she read them. I brought the volume on the guitar hits at the last part of the song down 2db and also rolled off some of the highs. I think they fit a bit better now, thanks for pointing that out

Simple arrangement carry the beautiful vocals nicely. Haunting melancholy lyrics, Eagles-like chording and Gary Moore guitar solo make this a great ballad. Interestingly no chorus, but that makes only the bridge more effective.

Sounds wonderful!
Love the grit in the vocal on the refrain "these days to come"
and the guitar soloing is outstanding
I listened to both versions and I think I hear the kick and snare clearer on the soundcloud version.
Very glad I stopped to listen. Thanks for sharing.

All the good adjectives have been taken, so: what they said. Yes, the idea was to slowly build the intensity with each verse and then climax during the bridge, thanks for noticing! And thanks for the comments on the mix too, spent quite a few hours over a couple of days working on it

At this point any accolades that we offer will be redundant...but we're gonna do it anyway - The build is very, very effective. - The write is everything the tunes needs and nothing it doesn't. Classy. - The guitar work is both scorching and super tasteful. - The piano sits in perfectly. The first few notes were to us gospel tinged. Maybe Aretha is on our mind. Love it all. - The vocal is outstanding (and so well processed)...hard to imagine anybody else doing this. Oh yeah, there are the drums..wowzer. EVERYTHING just smolders...mix is tremendous on our monitors. J&B

Janne Well, for a blues song simple is always best IMHO. If you try and get too clever with the arrangement it's no longer blues. Thanks for the listen and comment

Sounds wonderful!
Love the grit in the vocal on the refrain "these days to come"
and the guitar soloing is outstanding
I listened to both versions and I think I hear the kick and snare clearer on the soundcloud version.
Very glad I stopped to listen. Thanks for sharing. Thanks very much for the listen and comments! I typically prefer the way the songs sound on reverbnation, although I haven't A/B'ed this particular song. Reverbnation requires a 128K MP3, for soundcloud I upload a WAV, but they convert that to either 128K MP3 or 64K Opus for playback, not sure which.

At this point any accolades that we offer will be redundant...but we're gonna do it anyway - The build is very, very effective. - The write is everything the tunes needs and nothing it doesn't. Classy. - The guitar work is both scorching and super tasteful. - The piano sits in perfectly. The first few notes were to us gospel tinged. Maybe Aretha is on our mind. Love it all. - The vocal is outstanding (and so well processed)...hard to imagine anybody else doing this. Oh yeah, there are the drums..wowzer. EVERYTHING just smolders...mix is tremendous on our monitors. J&B Awesome comments, thanks J&B! And thanks for mentioning the drums! I had a blast building that drum track. Also I tried a couple of new (for me) techniques when I mixed the drums. I'm experimenting a bit with sidechain compression to control the reverb for example. Looking forward to your new one!

DAVE!!!
This made me sweat, brother. So glad you've found some vocalists too, since the old days. Chris can freakin' sing. Well put-together song, sounds great, and feels great. Hey Tang, Well, the story with Chris is I was just getting back into music after taking a few years off for various reasons. I uploaded an instrumental over on soundcloud which she heard, and she asked if I would like to work with her on a song or two. That was 2015, and we have done almost 30 songs together at this point. Good to see you here and looking forward to hearing your music again!

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."
