Hello, Deej

Welcome to the forum!
Nice and catchy melody with wonderful vocal!
I think that the structure of the song is also done very well.
It reminds me of the music of the British group in the 60's.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

I'm looking forward to your second post!
Best regards.

Well, this simply goes to show that perseverance pays off.

Yes, certainly a Robin Gibb feel to the vocal track. And.... a really good write right out of the box. Yep, I really liked the song and look forward to what your tunes will sound like as you become more accustomed to the software and getting the most from the tracks in your DAW.

Well done.

DJ...I’m another recent discoverer of this forum, and sounds like your BIAB history sort of mirrors mine. As you have discovered, this is just a fantastic place, with warm support and honest constructive critiques, from songwriters and performers that you can’t help but have tremendous respect for. And it will up your game constantly.

Excellent tune, well constructed, artful lyrics. I didn’t think about the drums when I was first listening (if it wasn’t for BIAB I wouldn’t have drums at all because I’m so clueless about them). On a second listen I get the critique. And there’s one tiny example of the power of this forum and family.

Cheers ... Rob

Rsdean, Guitarhacker, and Rob: Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. Your support is much appreciated.

Guitarhacker: I think it will take me a while to figure the software out, but I'm encourage by this effort. Actually has me thinking of moving from GarageBand to Logic X, but not sure it makes sense at this point given my limited skills.

What think you and others? Worth the investment?

Best regards,

Deej

Nice song. The first line really catches your attention and draws you in. Great lyrics and nice use of BIAB. Keep at it and you'll be a pro at it in no time.

David, Charlie and Sundance (and another shout out to Samuel):

Thanks for the listen and chiming in. I will play with correcting the over-drumming at some point; as I learn more, hopefully I'll get a little better at those things. But glad you all enjoyed the tune (despite the heavy metal drummer!). Appreciate the support and kind feedback.

My best to you all,

Deej

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.

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."
