Ok, now I'm REALLY going out on a limb.

Early Sunday morning, I was thinking that it might be fun to make a new song for my wife for Valentine's day. I started from the chords, and the lyrics and melody came together pretty quickly. This is my first try at singing since grade school, so be gentle.

This uses the :GEORG_P and a trumpet soloist.

Forever Valentine

Thanks!

Hi Matt,
You have a nice voice - not to worry, confidence in singing comes with practice. You put together a good arrangement. I enjoyed it. It's heartfelt and I'm sure your wife will love it. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Matt,

You have a very good voice!

This song is super; great mix, chord progression, vox and outstanding lyrics.

Two thumbs up.


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.

Matt,

She's gonna love it! How could she not??

If it's really your first try at singing since grade school... Well Dude, Good Job! Like Josey said, confidence comes with practice, so keep at it and it'll only get better! Practice makes improvement.

Take Care,

Greg

Thanks everyone for the comments. I got points for creativity and romance this year. I've been tinkering with another instrumental, but I'm not going to shut the door on vocals. Now, if I could only get my daughter to sing - she's got the voice in the family!

I have been so busy writing songs for the FAWM challenge I have not been able to listen to a lot of songs. I am glad I did. Nice lyrics. Nice easy feel. Excellent production. Thanks for sharing!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.

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."
