New song from Dave and Chris: PaperbackUpdate 2/23: Chris just did a video for the song, here: Paperback on youtube The band: Drums: BluesRock 12/8 Bass: 564 Piano: 2733 Rhythm Guitar: 1924 Lead guitar: '94 Fender strat, lace sensor pickups neck position through S-Gear amp sim Mix/pre master: Reaper with WAVES VST's, Final master: Adobe Audition V3 with Ozone V3. PAPERBACK (lyrics by Chris Spruit) (V1) Taking the road, I never walked into the silence I did not talk leads me to a crossroad Heard a song la da di la da di lada dia and I knew I’ve heard it before (V2) And in the sky, I heard that noise way in the distance, I had no choise leads me to a garden Birds in the sky la da di la da di Lullaby and I knew I’ve been here before CHORUS: And a road winds back and my ink turns black running down the paperback what a great time dried in the eyes of a child- hood lies deep down, inside Solo (V3) Recalling a word, I never quote writing a sentence, I never wrote standing at the crossroad a world, build blind, in defense of a broken mind But it makes no difference. CHORUS: And the road winds back and my ink turns black running down the paperback what a great time dried in the eyes of a child- hood lies deep down, inside Solo, outro vamp Song also up on soundcloud here: Paperback but sounds better on reverbnation to my ears.

Nice work.
Loved it from the drum intro at the start. Nice guitar licks. Well played solo.
Good work all the way around. Good singer too.
A bit long.
All in all, a good song and a good job with the project.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Lovin' us some Strat!
"And a road winds back
and my ink turns black
running down the paperback
what a great time dried
in the eyes of a child-
hood lies
deep down, inside"
The write is very engaging and the fine vocal performance really brings it all home.
The production shines on the KRK's -- superbly engineered with a nice open mud free mix.
Yep, we love it!

Y'all get better with each release. This is excellent.
A good write. Interesting - and "engaging" as Bud said... Excellent vocal - "comfortable" sounding...
Cool drum start. Gorgeous leads - love that tone! Excellent mix.
Great listen. Exceptional!

Hi BlueAttitude, Nice work on this! I really liked the guitar! Really nice vibe to this. Good job! Thanks, Joe! Especially the comment about the guitar. Normally I don't spend much time on the lead parts, but for this song I did quite a few takes before coming up with something I was happy with.

floyd Floyd, thanks so much! The last 18 months or so has been a real learning experience for both of us as far as a songwriting team goes and a hell of a lot of fun! Your comments made my day, and I'm sure will make Chris's also once she has seen them, thanks again

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
