https://soundcloud.com/joannecoopersa/why-i-never-askedI am so excited to present Band-in-a-Box 2020 at this year's FAWM.... I hope I am going to get enough time to finish the 14 songs this year. I have started a hectic contract which is getting in the way! Very quick recording on this one so there are a few issues....but here goes anyway. Straight out of BIAB 2020. No editing, no arranging, no effects on the native style "LOW PLAIN classic country folk". Just some editing, tuning and Nectar on the vocals and some Ozone on the mix. Lyrics again by the wonderful Cindy Prince. You told me often How much you cared But looking back You never shared But the basics You spent some time That much is true But I don't think I ever really knew You at all Now that I'm gone I question everything And I wonder what was there Behind the mask Even though we're through My feelings sting And I can't help but question Why I never asked You always seemed So easy going But after time I have a deep knowing It was an act You lied often But I believed And so right now just leave me to grieve just let me heal Was I afraid of your answer Was I afraid what you'd reveal I think I guessed of your darkness And every day haunts me still Tracks: Title: _LOPLAIN Demo - Low Plain Classic Ctry Folk Bal File:Why I never asked.SGU Key=Bb , Tempo 86, Length (m:s)=3:32 4 bar intro, 68 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 72. Repeat x1 chorus No Melody No Soloist track. Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Style is _LOPLAIN.STY (Low Plain Classic Ctry Folk Bal) RealTracks in style: ~701:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesSync Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 1728:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopBalladJohn Ev 085 RealTracks in style: ~542:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Dreamy Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 3416:Banjo, Rhythm FolkStrumming Ev 080 RealDrums [in style:PopRock8ths^04-a:Closed Hat, Sidestick, b:Closed Hat, Snare *******************

Joanne, A hummable chorus melody showcases your crystal clear warm vocals with wonderful phrasing. I like the lyrics - always well written by Cindy Prince- and the style suits. Amazing you can produce a demo this good under the FAWM time constraints!

Hi Joanne,
That FAWM is some challence! I didn't know you had to make a song every two days during a month. Can you also sleep or is that out of the question in februari? But I heard two songs of you now, the one you sent me yesterday and this one. And they are both very nice. I think you must post the other one as well, but I will concentrate on this one here: Very nice, (a bit) mysterious lyrics and a sweet gentle chorus. The song meanders sweetly through your head and lingers some time. At least that is what it did to me.
Good luck with your project, Hans

FAWM is certainly an ambitious undertaking! Good luck!
You're certainly off with a bang! Lovely song, solid write, good melody, harmonies support the chorus nicely. The staggering of the harmonies make them even more effective.

nice work. It has a 60's feel to it.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Beautiful on every level, I don't know what you did mixing the harmonies but I loved it. What a great talent you have. I'd never be able to do a song every two days. I did November Novel Writing Month but only got about halfway. Good luck with it!

I can't help but question Why I never asked
Wonderful turn of phrase. The Band sounds really good right out of the box. I wouldn't know how to improve on the mix. Your vocals and harmonies are clear delivering emotion and solid melody. A really nice one. Best wishes with all your projects this month.

Nice song. I like it. The clean guitar sounds a little late and causes an bit of an uncomfortable feel to it. Can you slide RealTracks in style: ~542:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Dreamy Ev 085 a little ahead of where it is? On these types of slower, graceful down strums with an arpeggio afterwards the down strum usually ends on the beat not slightly afterwards. In other word the down strum begins just before the beat and ends at the higher note/s on the beat or close to it. Too close can sound unnatural also especially if its exactly the same each time. This might smooth it out a little. The rest of it seams to flow smoothly.
Does the noise in your head bother me ?

Hi Joanne,
This is very easy on the ears. Your vocals shine, the mix is first class and your 'band' is perfect for this contemplative folk song.
I enjoyed my journey.
All the best with FAWM. Noel

Joanne,
Boy, that’s one pretty tune—terrific vocals and magnetic harmonies. For a “quick recording,” quite impressive. Very well done!
All my best,

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."
