The notes, the words, they don't come any more; I write, if right or wrong. And I almost put my pen aside But one thing's on my brain ... If this was my last day on the Earth, To you, what would I say? I love you, every day. And I look down at God's green Earth Where pain does never cease I look at you, my soul so broke And all I want is peace. And I almost give up straightaway ... But one thing's on my mind If this was my last day on the Earth What words, to say, I'd find? You're ever so kind ... you're ever so kind. The night goes by, so does the day, And, writing through the tears, I think of what to say to you That I haven't said in years ... And if I never write again If my pen I put down If this my last breath does represent Before to Him I bow ... What would I say? I love you, in every way. What would I say? I love you, I love you always. **** Song Summary ********* Title: I Love You, Always - 6 March 2020 File:I Love You, Always - 6 March 2020.SGU Key=Bb , Tempo 60, Length (m:s)=3:28 No intro. 48 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 48.

The vocal sits too far out front of the tracks. If you could get it to "sit in the mix" a little more that would help. It might be that the vocal is simply too loud compared to the underlying tracks. 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

I'm notoriously useless at weighing up the voice versus backing track balance, so yes, it's probably that the voice track is too loud. I will experiment with it in the morning! but thanks for listening and for your kind feedback! My website

Once you nail it and as long as you are doing a stylistically similar number you can just clone over all the settings. An suggestion suggestion is to find a reference song you like and do back back and forth comparos with the overall gain the same. Get that reference in your head and go for it on your production!

OP musician17 Veteran Joined: May 2018 Posts: 2,006 United Kingdom	Thanks Janice & Bud and thank you Ray!!! I will absolutely take those suggestions on board and apply them whenever possible. As I said, I don't know why I just don't hear these things straightaway ... I'm used to the solo line being more powerful than the backing track, perhaps, and it's a hard habit to shake ... maybe that's a reason why this is so. Regardless, I will do my best in future ... I'm told (and I feel it myself) that I have improved, so, with any luck, that'll continue? In any case, THANK YOU for listening and for the feedback!!! My website

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."
