A very enjoyable piece. Dramatic. Nice orchestration.

Interesting and original.

Hello Sunny,

A nice intro with those chopping violins. The orchestra is well done especially in the transision from chorusses and verses (v.v.).
Your vocals in it were nice, but maybe you could have bring them more upfront? To me they sound a bit 'shy', although you want to shout out and tell the world about your freedom ;-)
But I liked it very much!

I liked this song a lot - interesting arrangement, catchy chorus!

Minor nits: the short strings were a bit dry for my taste (which is, admittedly, out of date). And the fade at the end was a bit abrupt.

Thanks for posting it! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Good write & orchestration...
Very pleasing to listen to
I like the beginning...
It was an attention grabber for the entire piece.

Did you use notation software to pull the composition together?

I like it.
The arrangement is well done.
I agree that the vocals need a stronger position in the mix.

Lots of work on this one. Agreed, the vocals need to be more upfront. Other than that, very nice.

Really well done - it flows really nicely, and the chorus is a big standout for me. Definitely an earworm - delightfully catchy, and I like the orchestration throughout. Gives it an 'epic' sort of feel.

Thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

Welcome to the showcase!

Really cool composition that holds your attention
and sounds really good on the monitors.

Would love to hear more about how you put it together, etc.

Nice!

Hi Sunny,

Wow!

You've done a great job with this. It's easy to hear just how much consideration you've given to the orchestration, the mixing and the presenting of this work.

It's very satisfying listening.

Regards,
Noel

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.
