I had a few very bad days... two close family members went to hospital on the same day.. five of my colleagues got fired... it all felt unbelievable to be happening at the same time... I had to get my frustration out in this very short heavy metal track...

I'm not a big heavy metal fan, but I like parts of this, the chugging guitars panned left and right are pretty cool.

I didn't know BIAB had heavy metal realtracks to be honest, so I learned something new.

I like how you don't stick to one genre, you are always switching it up. Well done!

My oldest son is real into metal music, so I've had to listen to a fair amount and have learned to appreciate the high technical aspects of it. As well as I really like some of it. Nice way to express frustration. Well done.

Sorry to hear about your hardships - this really is a great tune though, you can really tell the tune was a way to vent. The guitars all flows really well, and it has the perfect level of aggression to it.

Hope things look up for you - thanks for sharing.


Cheers,

Nicely done - certainly evokes a frustrated feel. Don't hear the heavy metal tracks used very often.

Will,
Not a big fan of Metal myself, but I do understand it. It is done well. Both arrangement and mix is at pro level.
It reminded me of an experimental album of one Russian band that I was a big fan in my youth. What was interesting about the tunes in that album, they would start out similar to your "Bad Busy Days", but then they would go to complete release of tension, about half tempo of the drums and slow bluesy guitar in the same song. It was very interesting and emotional.

I hope problems that are possible to resolve - take turn for the better for your family and friends.

Best regards,
Misha.

I can feel the frustration pounding away in this piece. I hope writing the music gave you a bit of solace. Cool, rocking piece, by the way!

Hi all,

Thank you so much for all of your kind comments and thoughts - it really warms my heart!

Some of you mention that this is not your style... well, I can reveal that it is not my style either, but it just felt appropriate in the heat of the moment.

I will be a little less active on the forums until things are going better with my family members - hope you understand!

I hear you Will! Sometimes music is what pulls you through! Lonesome Dave Peverett of Foghat called it "Rock And Roll Therapy"! Hope better days are ahead! Good work by the way! Thanks, Torrey

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!

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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."
