Hello there, I want to introduce my first song to the user showcase. Hope you have fun listening ...  Alles ist gutURL: https://on.soundcloud.com/YH4cyUplifting song in german language. Life is fun, sun is shining, let's dance! The song title translates "Everything is fine" or "All Good" ... Used BiaB Style is _stirrup.sty with muted drums and mandoline: ~537: Bass Acoustic, Pop Sw165 ~373: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Hank Sw165 3175: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm CampfireFastSwing Sw165 I took the BiaB arrangement "as is" to a friend to record the vocals. Recording and mixing was then done with Cubase. We also re-added drums to the arrangement with EZ Drummer. Alles ist gutMusic and Lyrics: Alexander Bär Alles ist gut, komm, lass uns singen alles ist gut, die Sonne lacht alles ist gut und wird gelingen alles leichter als gedacht Alles ist gut, komm, lass uns tanzen alles ist gut, es ist so weit alles ist gut, wir stehn zusammen bis in alle Ewigkeit Trübsal blasen, das war gestern
das tu ich mir nicht nochmal an
heut will ich mich des Lebens freuen
absolut und ganz spontanAlles ist gut, komm, lass uns singen alles ist gut, die Sonne lacht alles ist gut und wird gelingen alles leichter als gedacht Frag die Hoffnung, frag die Liebe
wofür es sich zu leben lohnt
schick deine Sorgen in die Wüste
oder schieß sie auf den MondAlles ist gut, komm, lass uns singen alles ist gut, die Sonne lacht alles ist gut und wird gelingen alles leichter als gedacht Alles ist gut, komm, lass uns tanzen alles ist gut, es ist so weit alles ist gut, wir stehn zusammen bis in alle Ewigkeit Alles ist gut, wir stehn zusammen bis in alle Ewigkeit bis in alle Ewigkeit Looking forward to any kind of comments ... Alex

Nice tune! Too bad it arrived a little late for Oktoberfest. This would sound nice in a biergarten for sure! The BiaB instruments sound very natural how you've used them. Like the key modulation near the end. Might want to think about ways to vary the backing instruments over the course of the song, maybe with shots and/or holds on one or both guitars. Think you're on the right track with everything. Keep it up, BiaB gets easier and generally sounds better the more you use it. Welcome to the User Showcase forum!

All is good, Alex. Yes, it's a very uplifting feel. One needs not know the language to hear the fun. A fun group song, like DC Ron says, for Octoberfest. The change of key adds to the uplifting and even gives it a "where's my stein" kind of urgency. Love the lyrics. Thanks your auntie for the translation.

Catchy tune. I like that you translated the lyrics into English and also show the German. Took four years of high school German many years ago and surprisingly, I remember some of the words.

You posted an excellent first song.
A very happy toe tapping song.
Excellent mix and vocal.

Dankeschön @all for the warm welcome to the user showcase forum and the nice and friendly comments on my song. Very appreciated! @Joe: glad, I could refresh your knowledge of the german language. My next song will be about grammatics and declination ... Kind Regards Alex

Welcome to the forum, Alex.
Production sounds good. Music is up beat. The bass has that oompah sound to. I can imagine everyone raising their glasses in the beer hall and singing together.

A happy bouncy song.
Well done and welcome.

If you listen to the very 1st Alles ist gut and compare it to the others you'll probably notice a bit of aggression/crack/distortion on the 1st syllable.
That could be addressed by manually reducing the level on the attack of that syllable OR copying & pasting another iteration from elsewhere in the song.
Definitely a sing a long story & melody.
Der Song ist auch gut
Cheers

Terrific first post to the forum. Catchy, fun, foot-tapping tune with an uplifting sentiment. DC Ron has it right . . . a good Oktoberfest type tune. Good production and admirable vocals. Hope to hear more from you!

A very happy song, Alex.
I like the melody. The music could use a few twiddly bits here and there.
