Hi all,
Here's a song about people in the parisian Subway.
Philippe Janin is singing. We've both written the lyrics.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/les-ombres-du-metro-avec-philippe-janin/comment-828629887

Here's an approximate translation :

Do these shadows have a soul ?
Or are they only
abused by the wind
which has extinguished their flame ?
Among all the people
Under the freezing neon lights,
They wander mechanically
Until they find a train.

Chorus :
The shadows of subway
Have a heavy heart
They dream of real light,
Space and fresh air ...

And in this movement
Stretches like a shore
On decadent docks
The eternal arrival
Of poor people.
With this flow of characters
My film is falling in love
And this nest egg of pictures
which thus freezes time
makes me think of a cage.
From which hijacking
Are these people hostages ?

These morning ghosts,
Walking the corridors,
Have a sense of duty.
They take the path.
Their sky is concrete,
So they got used to it.
Even the fear of suffocation
Can no longer stop them.

Christian,
very modern feel in the rhythm but a lovely melody over the top.
Philippe's vocal has an odd reverb or room sound on it that doesn't match the one on the music - the solo makes this more apparent.
If they were both like Philippe's then it may give a subway sound but I suspect a subway would give a bigger sound and not as thin as his vocal sounds above such a well rounded arrangement.
I love the story, the melody, everything really - just not fussed on the reverb.


Cheers

Hi Cgris,

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."
