Hi Chris,
I loved it!
It sounds like you have lots of fun putting this one together. You've done a really good job. I'm impressed that all of this was done in BIAB.
All the best, Noel

Chris, whatever you're using on your vocal is throwing the aggressive vocal bits wide in the stereo image which is really odd. The song sounds good melody & arrangement wise. Your vocal is a little loud and above the song though.

Enjoyed that!
It would be cool to hear what tracks you used and to see the lyric!

Hello Jim, Thank you so much. I also updated the style memo
A literal translation of the Lyrics
Annetjie
1In the village of De Aar Live a girl, nice and skinny Face with no stain or freckle I blushed when she greeted me
Annetjie, where are you now Who are you a woman for now? Because my heart is just raw Annetjie, where are you now
2By the old prison in De Aar Was the red school really There I saw her again And keep the image in my head
Annetjie, where are you now Who are you a woman for now? Because my heart is just raw Annetjie, where are you now
Forty years later, winding down Some of the streets and dust in De Aar I'll get her in, Paris She and I, part of a couple
Annetjie, I found you I know now where you are staying But I also got my love But in my head you will stay
Annetjie, where are you now Who are you a woman for now? Because my heart is just raw Annetjie, where are you now

Hi rayc
As always your honest and critical feedback is appreciated and applied. Yeah, I stuffed up by adding stereo and Delay. Disastrous indeed.
I have made changes to mono on the vocals and removed the delay. I will re-post on sound cloud when bandwidth improves next week. Some damage to an underwater cable in the Atlantic Ocean has limited internet speed to a snail's pace
BTW, it was great to do the video as well, I now have a live "karaoke" track with chords.

An enjoyable song! As rayc said, it's got a nice melody. Nice lyrics, and easy on the ears.

This is a really good song. I thought that the vocal was a bit loud and overpowered the backing tracks.
I really did enjoy this one.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hi WobblyGstring.
This is a happy tune. I'm wondering if it isn't a bit too happy for the raw feelings of a man with such unrequited love. Enjoyed the listen though. I look forward to hearing your remix.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Hi WobblyGstring (how could I ever call you 'Chris....),
that was really nice - first time I ever heard Afrikaans spoken (resp. sung).
Having lived in the Netherlands for a while and thus speaking some Dutch I would have expected to understand at least some parts, but nope ... not one single word.
Nevertheless: cool !
Cheers,
Stefan

A good singalong happy melody ( maybe the singer sounding more cheerful than he feels about losing Annetjie!). I agree vocals could come down a few dbs. Very enjoyable to hear a different language on a forum song.

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."
