Hello Boxers,

My latest offering is a reworked song using BIAB. I had recorded this before purchasing BIAB, just using Cakewalk June 2025.

So i've taken advantage of the December BIAB discounts and gone Ultrapak. Man, they're big download files!! The downloading wasn't so bad, but the install took several days. I'm not on the latest laptop, and I had to install them to an external hard drive, otherwise my internal hard drive would have maxed out. So it's a little slower using the external drive, but it works and I now have so much more content to choose from....so I thought I'd try it out with this number.

I've linked both the original version and the reworked version in Soundcloud. Don't feel obligated to listen to both, but if you want to hear the difference by all means do so. I think the redux version is a better mix, the bass in the original is a little full on, all instruments in the original, other than drums, were played by me which explains the bass!! I've also linked the video, I've just added the new audio and not done anything to the video. I can't remember what guitars I used with the original, but I was really pleased with how the "off the cuff" solo turned out. The BIAB style is SEETHE.

It's an okay song.....no great insights into the human condition here!! Hope you like it.
