Hold On

I worked with a vocalist to provide the vocals on this one as my microphone hasn't turned up yet. Thought I'd share it with you all and any feedback would be appreciated too!

Style is Royalty Bubble Gum Pop w/Horns. The horns, bass and drum loop are from BIAB.

Nice voice.
The backing leans heavily to the left for a minute but balances soon enough.
Everything sees louder than everything else.
It may not be genre appropriate but if you have you kick, bass & vocal at the same level and then the other parts about 6dB lower and panned away you should then be able to carve some space for the vocal.
Cool song though.


Cheers

Unique, different and really likable.

I think the vocals sit too far back, and perhaps revisiting the mix could make the song better still.

Richard,
Nice modern tune. Smooth female vocals. Listens well. The only suggestion is instruments are overpowering vocals.

One of the best lessons I learned from folks on this forum is try to give space to vocals (or any instruments for that matter) to avoid muddiness.
1)Volumes 2) Frequency clashes. The volume balance is straight forward lower instruments, up (or ride) the vocals. Frequency clashes... I am still learning. I am getting better,but not to the level I want to get. I suggest you look into two of these items. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Hello Richard,

You have made a very nice song, though there is some room for improvement.
I agree with all who told you about the vocals and the band, the drums and room for other instruments.
About the vocals: they are very nice, but watch out for the amount of reverb. You could do with a bit less. I think the quality of the vocals will increase. But perhaps Misha is more clear on that part.

Good song and vocals, I enjoyed it. Yes, it would be even better with more attention to the vocal mix, but it was still very good!

Richard,
This is a good song with a dramatic pop feel I enjoyed.
I think your vocalist is excellent; production improvements aside, this is a keeper that shows you have songwriting skills and understand the genre.
Look forward to more!

Robert

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.
