I thought I'd try and post one of my original songs where I used Band-In-A-Box to compose all of the backing tracks. I wrote the words and the music. I did the vocal. The song is called "I BLAME IT ALL ON THE RAIN". Any feedback would be quite welcomed. I hope this is the right method for posting a song. If not, please somebody let me know. Here is the song summary from the BIAB file. SONG SUMMARY “I BLAME IT ALL ON THE RAIN” ****** Song Summary ************* SONGWRITER: ALLAN JUDD Title: I BLAME IT ALL ON THE RAIN Style is _TRUSTY.STY (Trusty Country Blues Shuffle) RealTracks in style: 1583:Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockShuffle Sw 130 RealTracks in style: ~956:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryBoogieGrittyA-B Sw 110 RealTracks in style: ~1141:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountrySwingCleanPicked Sw 110 RealTracks in song: 2685:Guitar, Electric, Soloist BluesShuffleBrentSimple Sw 130 RealTracks in song: 2728:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm BluesShuffleMike Sw 130 RealDrums [in style: PopRockShuffle: a: Snare, Closed Hatb: Snare, Open Hat Below is the link to the song on my Soundcloud account. https://soundcloud.com/user-530363504/i-blame-it-all-on-the-rain-soundcloud-wavwav?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Hi, Allan. Nice blues! Good work all around - nice vocals, good arrangement, clear mix. You might move the link to the top of the post, so it's easier to find and click... for lazy people like me who have trouble finding things buried at the bottom of posts.

Very cool blues tune. Super vocal and backtrack. Guitar was excellent as well.

Hello, 'alsky'...
Sounds to me like you bit off a big ol' chunk of heart-broken blues, chewed it up real good, digested it nice and slow-like, and then wrang it out of your tortured heart for all to hear.
Your vocal track possessed an authentic aching, despairing, and weary sound that brought out the best of your Real Track selections. Great storytelling power in your lyrics. It's the kind of blues performance that leaves a stain on your soul that isn't easy to wash out. Applause!

Welcome to the forum, Allan. A well-mixed song that seems to tick all of the usual boxes. The beginning sounded a bit chopped-off (you'll probably find half a note on the cutting-room floor ), otherwise a very pleasant listen.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

In a few spots, mainly the LOW notes, your voice levels dips down to almost inaudible. Give 'em a boost.
Nicely done.
Cheers

Thanks for the feedback. I'm really new to mixing. I guess I need to pay more attention to the entire vocal track and look for weak spots.
Thanks, again.

Thanks for the comment. I just went out to your website for a listen. I really like the mood and music to "Blue Guitar" and several others. Nice mixing of the instruments.
