Hi All Appreciate any comments and critque on my new song " All I Want Is You ". Here's the details: Key: D - Style (not sure)  RT: El Bass #534 sw 65 - Drums: Jazz Brushes - Ac Guitar Fingerpck #526 Hank SW 65 - El Guitar CtrSW #968 Sw 85. Midi: Lead guitar - strings - pad - choir Lyrics from the web. I guess the song is a bit unconventional. My plan was to make a very simple song with a acoustic guitar, bass and drums - it turned out to be something else. Thanks Jan

Nice job. I would recommend bringing those vocals up out of the mix. They are buried too much and so it is diffcult to hear the verse. Probably too much FX on them also - is that reverb?, a little goes a long way. Cleaner vocals is better.

Jan,
I liked this song. I know the usual observations about reverb on vocals, but this mix had a Euro sound to it that I really like... partly because of the reverb. I especially liked the female voice in the background and the way it was placed in the verse.
Your intro said that the lead guitar was midi, but it didn't sound like MIDI to me... can you tell a little about what synth and patch you used and how it was processed (effects?)
As far as the song being unconventional is concerned, what does that mean in a creative sense? That it defies classification in a genre? However you might classify it, it sounded good to me.

Sounded like some TP vox effects as well. I admit I wasn't too crazy about the soprano at the very beginning of the song but that's just me and I liked the rest of the arrangement. Ethereal and ambiant. Different in a very nice sounding way.

Hi Jan,
I like this song.
It has a very laid-back mood.
I would agree that you need to back off of the reverb a little and bring your vocals to the fore.
Well done
Best regards

Thank you Jazzmandan, Pat and Josie for taking your time to comment on my song. I'm not really satisfied with the vocal track, I did some additional tweakings, still not very good. (if you like you could give it a second listen)
Josie you didn't like the 'screaming women', I couldn't help trying them off in the tune :-)
Pat, the lead guitar is from East West' library - quite impressive synth.
Thanks again
Jan

Jan,
In the end it's what you want that counts. I listened to the new mix but I am now jaded because I really liked the reverb on the first one. I thought it added to the ambiance of the song. It's a really beautiful melody and I like the lyrics too. So you'll have to live with it awhile and decide which way you like best. Decisions decisions. grin.

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."
