All By Myself According to his biographer Berlin wrote the song the year before his mother died as a meditation on solitude and the misery of growing old alone. It was introduced in The Music Box Revue of 1922. The song is now in the public domain. Vocal & Arrangement - Janice Merritt Vocal recording and song mastering - Bud Merritt Arrangement and guitar solo - me. The horns were altered in Melodyne and the strings were produced using the midi chord track rather than a RT. The Band: RealTracks in style: ~~481:Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Ballad Sw 085 RealTracks in style: ~~557:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Ballad Freddie Sw 085 ('B' only) RealTracks in style: 2593:Horn Section, Background CroonerBigBand9-Part Sw 110 RealTracks in song: ~487:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Ballad Sw 085 RealDrums in style:JazzTerryClarke^01-a,b:Cross Stick Tom 1
All By MyselfAll by myself in the morning All by myself in the night; I sit alone in a cosy Morris chair, So unhappy there playing solitaire All by myself I get lonely Watching the clock on the shelf I'd like to rest my weary head on somebody's shoulder I hate to grow older all by myself.

Lovely.
The tempo, phrasing and inflections of the vocal are wonderful and the guitar is a terrific example of taste.
Cheers

The best thing I've heard on the forum in quite a while. Just perfect. Great vocal, great song, great production. Guitar was perfect, too. I wasn't familiar with this song by Berlin, but it's a winner. I can just see him sweating out the details of it (as he was wont to do) over his transposing upright piano, working those black keys.

Peter, Janice & Bud,
This is absolutely one of my favorite collaborations that the three of you have done.
The production on this is simply outstanding... It sounds like an old recording, but with nuance and polish.
I don't think anyone's phrasing or delivery on this song could be better than what Janice has done here - I could listen to this over and over again. Superb...
Love Peter's guitar - flashes of Barney Kessel. Just a perfect solo for this piece.
Bob

That clock on the shelf may be from some other era, but you guys knocked this out of the park.
Very well arranged and performed, great job and kudos to all.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2024 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Janice - Goosebumps! Could not be done better. Stunning.
Nice guitar work, Peter.
Nice arrangement.
(not a fan of the BIAB ride. But you know that...)
Very cool horns!
(a bit too-up-front, I think, for the genre. Would rather hear them "underneath" and less "bright".)
Beautiful work, y'all.

Wow! I should probably stop there  Fantastic rendition. Such a cool blend of old flavored horns, strings & piano infused with modern Janice vocals with Peter's guitar. Love Bud mixes. Every instrument is very well situated. Easy listen. Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Janice's interpretation is very cool, as is the guitar. Melodyne seems the perfect tool for working with those BiaB brass parts! And of course, a nice clear mix. I enjoyed listening through this a couple of time!

Nice!
Love the arrangement, especially the way it builds towards the end, and interesting to read how you manipulated the BIAB horns.
Janice knocked it out of the park with this one, couldn't possibly be better! Just perfect tone and phrasing.
Sounding good, Peter, very tasteful playing throughout, and love that fast little lick you used to end the solo.
You three have a knack for taking an old song and making it your own, well done.

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."
