This is not a song YET, but I wanted to share with everyone, my wife got her results from the doctor on Wednesday, and she is Cancer Free. Thank you for all the prayers, it just goes to prove, God is still in the healing business!!
Yes Floyd, Good Old Morgan is one prolific songwriter indeed. I have no idea why you brought his name up in the context of the song but okay. Anyway, if he WERE the subject of the song, I can only say that all is fair in war and country music. If you do something really stupid and I'm trying to find material for a song, then you're going to end up being collateral damage in another crazy David Snyder song and that's all there is to it. I will not confess to the people who are actually on my Spotify playlist because I don't want to show my hand and give myself away, but it could be that I have actually listened to and studied the outpourings of someone who could put out 36 songs on their latest album. What I'm saying is, there's a slight chance that I might have already listened to those said epic albums to pick up some mixing tips and some lyric tips because you just never know!!!! 🙂
Thank you Hans! The old David never left! He just has a severe case of multiple personality disorder in case you haven't noticed!! Some people drink themselves into a stupor and get arrested by the police, and other people just talk to their imaginary friends and go more quietly! 🙂 But seriously thank you for the kind words and I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I use Master Tracks Pro (abandoned ware). Why? 1) Without audio, the interface is clean and quick. No menus with sub and sub-sub menus to open. Every dialog is available with a hover and click. 2) Very good global editing features. If PTPro adopted the editing features of MTPro, I'd use it instead. Notes ♫
Hi Mario - the whole mood of this track reflects the crushing feeling when you're rejected and shoved to one side (had a life-time of that myself)! You projected the 'cry, depression & aloneness' very well, Be happy & joyful my friend, remember to laugh! Cheers, Carl
Thanx Carl. I'm glad you got the mood I was trying to set with this instrumental.
Hi Noel, Good to hear a new song from you! This is one of your best I think, very well written, and your vocal sounds great. Harmonies really work too. Loved it!
My take, and apologies if this is derailing. BIAB could easily be adapted to perform as an Arranger keyboard system, using a fast processor, adequate RAM and a decent SSD. However... Some of the currently advertised System Requirements preclude this from ever being delivered:
Quote
System Requirements for Band-in-a-Box® Windows®: 11/10/8/7 (32 or 64-bit) Minimum 1GB RAM (2GB+ recommended) Minimum 1.0 GHz processor (2GHz+ multicore recommended)
I don't know anyone running Windows 7 (no longer supported by Microsoft for several years) on a 1.0 GHz processor and expecting anything from producing music. And that's what I believe is holding this opportunity back. Can you even start to imagine the interest that would be generated if BIAB could also operate as an Arranger System that could be used with almost any existing keyboard? Nobody with a 1.0 GHz Windows 7 anything is purchasing the 2024 version of BIAB. Move on.
I feel sure that musiclover is being a little tounge-in-cheek' Quote: "For the first time, music fans can hear the incredible story of Abbey Road and its role in music history," For the first time? Really? 231 GBP is about AU$450 (+Handling and delivery fees - a bonus). I think I'll hold off at this point. And I somehow doubt that this is 'the first time'
Nice one Floyd and Bill! Excellent write and vocal as always. I like the way you build the intensity as the track progresses, and how you bring in the strings towards the end. Top notch and totally professional, enjoyed!
for me with vision impairment ive always found over loads of years and irrespective of daw used vol auto is too fiddly. way too fiddly. now the eye docs have improved my sight somewhat... (im ecstatic)...ive tried vol auto again in the spirit of openness and still it frustrates me. one of the reason i still use reaps v2 is i can split bits of my vocal tracks and useing a cursor visually see the waveforms change... so i can reduce or boost bits of vocals useing just an up down cursor and normalisation...oh how i wish i could do this in thenew fab bb tracks view...its a way better way to balance bits of track and then just glue to finish...and obviates the need to use comp lim plugins which can sometimes create side effects. I really hope pg realise that the new fab tracks view done right viz editing could slay the market. i wouldnt need any other app then. i agree keep f5 for roughing things out. and implement the feature ive described above for detailed track balancing...imho you cant beat seeing all the track clip waveforms. makes balancing the bits of a track way way easier cos the waveform changes viz other waveforms...imho....than vol auto fiddling around. happiness. om 🇨🇦 🇬🇧
Hi Bob, I really like the band you have put together for this one, great sound, and different. Excellent lyrics as always! And I always love your vocals, nice spoken word part too. Nice!
I think to get a whole new user base would be those that use arranger keyboards, there would have to be a large market for those that want real instruments but don't want to pay $5000 for an arranger keyboard with real instruments. Real Time Arranging A decent laptop or something like this could be used in a live situation, look how small these are: HP ELITEDESK 800 G2 mini i5 6500T 8GB RAM 256GB SSD Win 10 Micro PC WIFI I got one as a spare PC for $100.
It would be a big mistake to deprecate F5 as it's quickest way to flesh basic parts. It would take significantly (!) more steps to do similar with volume automation. I just think it would be just easier and less confusing for users to have it all on one page. Volume automation is great for fine adjustments , final draft, but because you can't simulteneously adjust several tracks, it is a much, much slower process. F5 is just irreplaceable

I've worked with all kind of software my entire life, and I'm a fast learner, but this must be one of the most confusing and counterintuitive programs I've ever found. The GUI is, to me, a perfect example of good looks, but very poor usability, and unfortunately the documentation and official "tutorial" videos don't help at all.
HI, greetings from Brasil. Choro music should indeed deserve some attention from PG Music. This an example, "Receita de samba", composed by Jacob do Bandolim, one of the great players in choro.
Thunderthud, Good catch! Since we are on the topic of F5, would you agree that a better way (for user) would be to have a single list of all tracks in F5 menu instead of some showing in the list and the others have to be hunted for in the dropdown menu? I am VERY curious on honest user opinion(s) on this. P.S. I believe it would be more convenient to have same workflow for all tracks. AKA "All tracks are equal".
Sure, that would be great. But I was so thankful for what we got in 2024 version (I didn't want to sound greedy). It has looked to me that PG has been looking to deprecate bar settings use. However, I find using Bar Setting a much quicker way to get things done. Then, you can go back and tweak if needed with volume automation or the tracks view, to get rid of glitchy remnants. .
Dan, beautiful song, and expertly arranged and mixed, as usual. That five minutes flew by! You really do a great job combining the various instrument sources into a cohesive, glassy mix. David's points on the intro/interlude are worth consideration. Really like what you're doing using synths to build song ideas in the style you used to sing. Sounds to me like you've made a seamless transition, and each song sounds better than the last. Looking forward to many more!

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."
