My very first video I've never done one before, its basic but I thought this was a song that would suit a video, if you want a wee look.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=133C9asZjKA&feature=youtu.be

Any comments , help, guidance on the song /video would be welcome.

Thanks I have the bug for video now.

stay safe,Take care.

'beatmaster'...

Everything comes together in your song, As the Night Falls, sir.

The music sounds like something out of the folk-rock era of the 60's and 70's, but a little quieter to allow the empathy and support you are rounding up for the 'front-line' health workers and doctors to be heard.

Your voice was youthful-sounding, and clear. Although the video was a perfect visual complement to your lyrics, I really didn't pay much attention to the images in it as I did to the lyrics and the music because they were memorable enough for me to envision my own thought-pictures in my own head (and heart, too smile ). That's how genuine the sentiments in your song felt to me.

It's a little boat of good will and hope in a sea of troubling awareness of what COVID-19 is doing to the human community all over the world.

Truly,

LOREN

Nicely done, does have a 60's Gerry & The Pacemakers feel.

The video is good and the lyrics heartfelt.

Good work.

beatmaster,
Clear mix and well sunged. I would prefer a more fuller drum sound, but that is a matter of taste. Nice tribute!
A good friend, doctor from NY just successfully recovered from covid last week. He put his life on the line to save people he never knew. That what defines a "hero" in my book. Doctors need all the support they can get. Thank you for sharing.

Beatmaster,

A really nice melody and mix on this one—the vocal sits just right. And a nice write, and worthy tribute. Good work on the video, too. Enjoyed this one!

All the best,

Deej

From our perspective you need no guidance.

The video images well supported the production and the message.

We need to think about these folks ALL THE TIME and this is
a very well performed and timely tribute.

You have a fine voice and also the ability to process and
position it in the mix in a very appealing manner.

Excellent!!!! The entire production.

J&B

PS FWIW The only vid suggestion we have is to pop the lyric in just as
the vocal starts for its respective section (or have it scroll upward timed with the vocal). Seeing the lyric first can be somewhat distracting. That timing is not always a breeze. I’ve often struggled with it.

The only thing that I can say is

Oh, what a masterpiece!


Everything is perfect! What a great tribute to the first line heroes. Your vocal is amazing. Great work.

Sweet lyric. I'd never thought of "Night time falling" as anything but the beginning of the night. But, sure enough, it does fall when the day comes. Enjoyed the listen/view and am glad yours are back with you.

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."
