I made a new version of my very first track. Although the changes are minor the final result is closer to my original vision.
The acoustic guitar sample from BiaB that looped through the entire song is now replaced by a complete guitar recording to create a better dynamic. Also, sound effects have been added to the intro.
Collaborators and lyrics can be found in the video description.
Don't forget to "like" the track if you enjoy it and make sure to listen to my other tracks as well if you haven't already!
A really good song and I love Audrey's vocals. I listened to both versions and both are good, but the new one is earthier with the played guitar.
Some favourite Waoist Adages: #1: Play on the Way. #17: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you. #69: Bring consciousness to it. #74: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made. #105: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.
Thanks for all the kind words! I plan to release some completely new tracks next year so subscribe to the YouTube channel if you're interested so you don't miss out.
Alexander...very pro sounding recording...the vocals (lead and harmonies) are stellar...great melody, tempo and arrangement.

You are who you are because you do what you do because of what you believe.
This is an excellent song and the production and presentation are stellar. Audrey's vocal is so good - as are the bgvs. Very pro sounding.
To my ears, I think it would have been a great song for Fleetwood Mac when Stevie Nicks was still with them. Yet, it has a sound contemporary enough to be a chart song today. yeah - a 2023 version of Fleetwood Mac - wouldn't that be nice?!

Thanks! An honor to be compared to such a legendary band. I think one of the biggest issues as a musician today is to reach your target audience. There isn't always an obvious place to showcase your specific type of music.
I have listened to this multiple times - my thoughts are below. I recognise the time, effort and talent you have put into this. Sorry if you feel any of the negative comments are harsh or unjustified. Thanks a lot for posting the song. Date: 30/12/2023 System: Mackie Studio monitors -------------------------------------------------- Genre Soft rock Key Am Duration 3 30 Overall impression I concur that there is a pretty authentic rumours era Fleetwood Mac feel to this track! Sounds a bit like many things but not exactly like anything (which is the game in pop song writing) All in all a terribly good soft rock composition Song (musical structure, melody, lyric, …) Really like the 3rd chord in the ‘A’ section. By sticking with the Em rather than the ubiquitous E, you really make this progression stand out. In contrast I feel that the A and B sections are too similar to each other. In particular, I would have liked a different starting point to the B section. Lyric is truly excellent – everything scans and rhymes to great effect. Nicely controlled ending. Instrumentation Lovely clear electric guitar (which is also very tastefully played) and not obtrusive either. I would have preferred some kind of electric piano sound over the acoustic piano. (but that’s just me!) Vocals Very cool lead vox and nicely arranged harms too. Mix / Production Sounds great to me What I really liked Chord progression in the A section. What could be improved I’m getting the feeling that not much is happening in the instru section at 2:27. I would simply cut it out making the track shorter.
Thanks! I agree that if I would improve one thing it would be the instrumental part. It does add a new instrument (the piano) but it's a bit simple. My second and third track use electric guitar solos instead. Writing lyrics is what I like the most. My knowledge of music theory is still pretty basic.

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.

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."
