Straight up rock song this time up, probably the least most popular showcase genre :P

Hopefully a few people might like it and it shows you can do rock with BIAB despite what some may think.

Time Flies

The band:
RealTracks in song: 995:Bass, Electric, HardRockLA Ev 120
RealTracks in song: 671:Organ, B3, Background Southern Ev 120
RealTracks in song: 1267:Synth Pad, PopShiningA-B Ev 120
RealDrums in song: RockHardModernEv8^2-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Open HiHat

I'm playing the guitar parts (tele rhythm, strat lead) processed though S-Gear.

Trying out the new Scheps Omni Channel plugin on this song, I have it loaded on a few tracks. Also using other various plugins from waves and iZotope for the mix.

Mastered using Ozone 8 and LMC.

Time Flies (Christiane Spruit)

(V1)The prophecy lies
and time flies
I'm wondering why
the baker man
is not breaking the bread
The poets fight
they will probably die tonight
they will probably die tonight

(V2)Among the line
inactivity sign
a red traffic light
We redesign
the blueprint of our life
What we had in mind
it will probably die tonight
it will probably die tonight

And if I ask you
a little question
just the question
Have you ever been there ?
did you ever go there ?
You know time flies
You know time flies

(V3)In the flood of the tide
we are losing sight
Lets say goodbye
Good old friend of mine
The flood will run dry
Is it wrong or right?
We will probably die tonight
We will probably die tonight


Life's a little while
(do what you wanna do)
(do it now)

Life's a little while
(do what you wanna do)
(do it now)

Life's a little while
(do what you wanna do)
(do it now)

SOLO Guitar/outro

As always all comments are welcome.

Really nice work here, BlueAttitude smile I'm getting a strong 80's rock vibe on this one, especially with the vocals. I love the amount of energy behind this. It is indeed something you don't hear a lot of on the forums.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,

Really cool man!

Kinda reminds me of Eric Clapton with Cream and a killer female lead.

That guitar is smokin'!!!!

Dave & Chris,

ANOTHER cool opening (you are SO good at that grab-your-attention thing!)

Wow! Chris really "got her Grace Slick on" for this one! Great rock vocal. The processing on the vocal is excellent - really in-the-pocket.

KILLER guitar. I agree with David - a real Clapton/Cream thing happening... Great tone. That guitar is SINGING!!! All the way through.

The drums sound great. And you ALWAYS get a good organ sound... Great mix.

THIS is a true pleasure to listen to.

Dave,
Your intro here is stellar, and the guitar throughout gave me goosebumps.
Chris sounds like she means it, Grace Slick and the Wilson sisters
combined!
Played loud,going back for more.

Dave,

Excellent song! Love the dramatic opening... Outstanding vocals by Chris and some very exciting guitar work happening throughout.

Very tight mix - a new favorite for me from your catalog...

Dave /Chris
So many clever & interesting touches in the arrangement.Loves the vocal part at 3.50.
Smoking hot guitar solos and excellent vocals.
I still hear some Rory Gallagher attitude in your rock solos but the overall sound is definitely yours.
A real showcase piece all round.

What a cool intro. Gave me a little Uriah Heap vibe when it kicked in... Man do I love this song Dave. Christiane's vocal was excellent and your guitar was so good. Well done. One of my favorites of yours......

Thanks, David!

The first band that really got me into music was the Beatles in '64, but the guy that made me want to learn guitar was Clapton.
First time I heard him was "White Room", so different from anything else I had heard up to that point. Still love that song!

Hi floyd,

I'm using the slapback echo/reverb technique on the vocal as discussed in that thread you started a while back. And a few other things too of course.

As far as Clapton goes, he was the first guitarist I really got into and was my main guy for many years. His early stuff with John Mayall, Cream, and Derek and the Dominos, never gets old for me.

Thanks for your support over the last few years! It is always appreciated and never taken for granted smile

Thanks, Beatmaster!

Never listened to much Fleetwood Mac to be honest, other than the Rumours album. And of course the original lineup with Peter Green on guitar.

Thanks, Robert!

Love the Grace Slick/Wilson sisters comment, and I'm sure it will make Chris smile when she reads it. Happy you liked the guitar too!

Yeah, always better loud smile

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."

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
