Hi everyone I have been using and enjoying Band in a Box for several years now. I have composed this song called: ‘I’d Like to Sing a Song’ in Band in a Box and I finished it off in Cakewalk. I am using Bygone Style My RealTracks include: Dulcimer 3668 Bass 1136 Piano 1791 Drums GypsyJazzSw Guitar 1210 Guitar 1209 Horn Section 2593 used twice The Vocal Harmonies were generated in the main window by way of Harmony then Audio Harmony. I choose Harmonize based on Chords with Band in a Box Intelligent Mode. This is the first time I have uploaded a song to PG Music so I hope you will enjoy it. Regards, Dermot Mc Mahon Here is the link to my Song: https://soundcloud.com/mail-15-5/id-like-to-sing-a-song-1?si=58d74ce15f3b4be4bfbd1cc474b18037&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Hey Dermot, welcome to the forum.
For a 1st uploaded song, this is great. You've demonstrated quite a mastery of BiaB.
And your vocals have an element of Ringo in there, the lyrics would have been nice.
An enjoyable listen for sure. Great job!

Even though it's not the genre I usually listen to, I like your song, it has a nice fifties (or even forties?) vibe, and your voice fits well with that style.
Well done!

Absolutely man, you have talent. And it was refreshing to hear that old style.
I didn't know that BiaB had that style built-in.

Hi Dermot,
This is a good song and you have put a lot of work into it.
Vocals sound fine but I would love to hear it with the lead vocals much higher in volume.
Best Regards
Nigel

Great job, Dermot, this was very entertaining! I agree with Nigel about the vocal. The horns were also busy, but the only solution is to splice up the horn track and that is a rabbit hole you may not want to go down. These are only minor things, you did a great job. I especially was impressed with the harmonies.

A very pleasant song! As TuneMonger said, the horns are bit busy. Sometimes it's simpler to drop some parts out for a verse rather than trying to figure out how to simplify the part. In particular, horns can be hard to balance in a mix. I enjoyed this - and your singing - for sure!

Dermot...welcome to the forum...great use of BiaB...we don't hear many songs like this...and you did a great job...the vocals and harmonies are excellent and fit the genre so well...the timbre of the recording gave it an old record vibe and again suited the song so well...I really enjoyed it...hope you post more...Dan
