Ok, I redid the vocals to give them much more texture and tone as well as clearing up a sour note or two. I also elevated them in the mix to make them dominant. Any thoughts?

You may all of the right corrections. Your vocal is really top notch plus I really liked the fact that you only used a piano as a backing instrument. Well done.

This is super!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

That was beautiful... I could feel the sorrow in your voice.

We fully agree with Mario. The changes you made are exactly what this needed. Simply gorgeous, my friend. Good luck with this. It's an amazing song and your delivery is spot on. Best to you & your music.

Yep... that works better.

Nothing in the vocals drew unwarranted attention which is exactly what you want.

I think you have a winner there. Best of luck pitching it. Be sure to come back and brag a bit if it gets picked up by a producer. You deserve it with that song. Excellent work.

If it's of any interest to anybody I redid the vocals using an old soul singers trick I learned from . . . well . . .an old soul singer. If you stay up until the middle of the night, in this case, 3 to 4 am, then track your vocal, it gives it a much richer color and tone. While it won't make poor vocals good vocals, it can really add a great feel to a voice. After I tracked this, my wife asked, so . . .. why don't you track all your vocals late at night, they make me feel funny :-)

Sounds very nice! I listened to the other one and thought the vocals were nice. My impression is that the new recording is better. Good luck with it! Take care. Greg

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

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."
