Very nice Chris. I don't understand a word of French, but I liked the way your singer used his voice. It fit the production well, I thought. I really liked the use of your acoustic guitar and percussion - it really carried the beat well. Also the adding of that dobro was nice. I may have upped the bass a little to add a little more low end to the tune, but that's just me. This is a real good soundin', toe tappin' song.

Very nice track. I agree with Brad about adding bass. Everything else in the mix goes well together. How did you do the part where the guitar pauses on the first beat?

Thanks, Brad an Seth, for your comments.
I've tried to increase the bass volume but I was not convinced by the result.
To get the pause on the chord, you have to select the chord, click right, select Chord Settings and select Hold Chord.

Cool funky tune with a terrific vocal that fit perfectly. Loved the almost percussive nature of Thierry's singing, reminded me a bit of Al Jarreau in that regard. Great job!

Cool funky groove, Chris. Thierry was an excellent choice. I like the whole band, and the melody was quite engaging.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks TuneMonger and Marty,
I've composed this song about 40 years ago.
Thanks to Biab realtracks and thanks to Thierry's voice, I could give it a second birth.

Hi Chris,

Good song, good groove and very good vocals.

I thought the sax and guitar soloists could be quite a bit louder. As a guideline the soloists should be approximately the same volume and reverb as the main vocalist.

Best Regards
Nigel

Thank you, Nigel.
I followed your advice and I've changed the mp3 on Soundcloud.

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.
