I'm not sure that anyone has discovered the true Spirit of the song and the spookiness involved in it.

And for some reason I can't help feeling that the main instruments like the guitars and stuff are going to have to be played live along with the singer to capture the ethereal nature of it.

I'm only one person, but I think this is too ethereal to have the main instruments be backing tracks. I think it needs more of a live, flowing feel.

But having said that I really like the direction that it's going in.


Thanks David,
I doubt I'll be able to get to California to play alongside Alison in her studio to get that feel. I think it would be hard work too as she moves across the rhythm and deliberately doesn't hit all the accents points on the beat...I take the blame for that as I set up the draft melody to come in late.
I know what you mean but I can't remedy that situation as things stand.
The next track I'm on very deliberately moves to a different groove/feel and BIAB is hard yakka to get that happening.


Cheers

Could be that's how it's miked and a brighter microphone would be a solution for the next song.

Thanks for revisiting B.D.T.
I checked the original audio & can't find that problem. I will work my way through the signal chain checking for a change.

Ray,
TH1409B sounds MUCH better even in my muddy & boomy Sennheiser Momentum cans.

Hi Rayc,

Excellent work. Very nice composition. You match me with your singer. It's well constructed, full of emotion. Well done I appreciate it. Thanks for sharing

Very nice Ray. Boy is she ever a good singer. Lovely voice. Cool lyric and chord progression. I was listening to 14/09

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.

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."
