Ray,

A very cool song, arrangement and performances from your talented collaborators.
I liked the mix too - sounds great on `phones.

Thanks Torrey,
The reason Trudy decided to sing it was due to the refrain, even from my poor guide vocal, stickin in her ear.
Seems I was lucky this time.

Personally I like the drums right where they are now but like all kinds of things music wise it is just a personal choice.

You all should be very proud of this.

Thanks Mario,
As I was born in the late 50s this is stuck in my impressionable music era I suppose. The vocal probably shoul've been trickier to sit because of the drenching the guitars and gtrFX have in reverb but I think it rides on top and a little in well enough. I agree re the drums - further forward would've been 80s and onward sound wise.

Robert,
Thank you.
The mix was done on monitors but I render it to a file several times so I could listen on a DAP with headphones because I 1st discovered headphones in about 72 or 73 and that was a reference point for the stereo image.

Hello, rayc

Very cool song!
Super vocal!
It reminds me of Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody To Love" a little bit.
The unison of lead vocal and bass is very powerful.
The modulation and the melody of Chorus are really nice.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi, (hey I'm nervous about your name - do you follow the tradition of surname followed by given or the modern, more western, convention?)
Thanks for listening, for the reference to a wonderful song and for your concise analysis.
I've had the chorus progression in my head since 1977! I used it for a bridge in a song in the mid 80s but decided it was nice enough to use properly and more openly. Using sus7 & sus2 was fun when I was learning to play way back then and relatively easy with some minor chords so I just had fun.
Again, thanks.


Cheers

Thanks David,
Yeah, Trudy was much more focused - she didn't spend weeks and lots of energy worrying - just recorded herself singing and it works well for her.
It was super easy to fit into the mix as well. I like things to work smoothly sometimes.
I appreciate your feedback.


Cheers

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."
