I just finished an 8 Day Sync Songwriting Challenge. I learned so much during this course and met some very talented people. I teamed up with a few of them writing and producing different songs. This one I co-wrote with Kim Williams from Ontario and got it performed and recorded by Kathrin Jakob an amazing vocalist from California. I used BIAB for the base of the song and then added some synths in Cubase. I think it came out really well and I hope to be pitching it for licensing soon.

Lyrics: (Verse) Take back the night Take back the light Take back your innocence It's time to make it right
Change up your path Set a new course Strike a match and let it light Your heart and soul
(Chorus) There's no time to waste (No don’t waste it) It’s time for a change (A change is happening in me) A new day has dawned (grab hold before it’s gone) It’s time for a change
(Verse) There is only now You'll make it through Keep knocking down those doors And make your dreams come true
Life can change fast Like a flash in the night At the speed of light Just hold on enjoy the ride
(Chorus) There's no time to waste (No don’t waste it) It’s time for a change (A change is happening in me) A new day has dawned (grab hold before it’s gone) It’s time for a change
(Bridge) It’s time to make a change It's time, make a change in you It’s a new day a bright beautiful day It’s time, make a change in you
(Chorus) There's no time to waste (No don’t waste it) It’s time for a change (A change is happening in me) A new day has dawned (grab hold before it’s gone) It’s time for a change

Pretty cool but the vocal has a very strident, almost ice pick quality that is quite fatiguing. It's something you should be able to address with some EQ or something nifty like the PSP Vintage Warmer 2 that can saturate, EQ & saturate in one VST. Otherwise - perhaps have a look in your best parametric EQ plug and tame those peaks a little.

Thanks for the feedback rayc. After working on a song all day its nice to have fresh ears listen. I made a few adjustments in EQ and Compression that I think helped a little bit.

Hi Samuel Davis, this was wonderful! I also found it very easy to listen to and the mix sounds well polished too. Good use of EFX on the guitar. The vocals harmonize well with the other instruments. Well done!
Cheers, Joe

Samuel
A very polished production. Nice sounding guitars and a really nice mix. Heard it post eq'ing and the vocal sounds good. Enjoyed the build up. Nice work.

What a tune! Really catchy, and some incredibly good progressions here. Not to mention, that vocal performance is truly stunning. An immediate earworm, and the kind of tune I wouldn't bat an eye to if I heard on the radio. Great work, and thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

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."
