Hi DC Ron, Excellent composition with good musical rhythm. The mix is very pleasant and it's very catchy. Well done I enjoyed it. Jani
Thanks, Jani! "Catchy" is what we're going for, so happy you were "caught".

THANK YOU, Vic! I do love that for our lyricist, the rain in Spain doesn't fall mainly in the plains, if you know what I mean. Besides, if it weren't for my fondness of these sometimes offbeat lyrics, we wouldn't have any songs at all.

Glad you liked it, Brad! I really keep the mixes simple, with the vocals, bass and kick in the middle and everything else somewhere else. I'll pan guitars hard left and right if it's not a distraction.
I didn't understand a word BUT I don't need to understand the words to know a good song when I hear one; and I just heard one! Very clever animation. Excellent song. PS - last night we had rice with chicken!
How many inputs do you need? Are you recording one track at a time or do you want to record 8 at a time? That can be a big concern, or none at all, depending on your target setup.
Dan, first thing is I'm so sorry to hear about your wife's issues. Great song/cover. I can feel the love in your vocal. Loved it. Stay strong my friend.
Great song BD! Your productions are always so cool and I loved the guitars in this. The end was pretty cold, but I probably only felt that way because I wanted the song to continue. Really good stuff, Brad
The only music I have been playing lately is the stereo. Most likely get back to the music in Augest. I have enjoyed the satalite radio when I have the time. I have been a hundred miles offshore by my self a time or two. That requires constent attetion to what is going on. For now..... Scamp Grouper 20 to 28 lbs, Mutton Snapper, Yellow Eye Snapper, And one small Sand Tile Fish Hope this findes all you people doing well. Cheers, Billy
Cool song, and done soooo well! Y'all work so well together. Fun song all the way around. I thought those hand-claps were a good addition - made you feel like you're right there. Great job by all. Brad
DrDan, I agree - I'd like to see this done more often. Floyd is a great writer IMO, and I sure am glad he let you cover this. The song is great and your rendition is very well done, very heartfelt. Brad
Vic, I loved this one! My kind of music. Loved the instruments you used, I hope you post them. That guitar gave it a good ol Waylon sound, and I'm a big Waylon music fan. You done good son! Brad
Man, you're melodies and productions are just so far over-the-top good. Fabulous instrumentation and production with so many unexpected pleasures - a great listen! Brad
This video came in, may be of interest for keyboard players on a budget. Music technology keeps moving forward and this can do more than my much pricier board can do. Apparently, you can program a chord progression into it. He addresses this board around 4:00

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
