Music is an expression that is a universal language, Never criticize anybody to harshly. They need time to grow but when they do, they do. Always be kind in what you say and do because the man upstairs is watching.

Bob,

It always generates a bit of cognitive dissonance when I hear Christian music that sounds like Black Sabbath, but I accept the idea that music is bigger than the perimeters of my opinions.

I think you did a pretty good job with this song. The tracks were assembled pretty well and the music flowed as expected. I especially liked the intro.. it was a "wall of sound" that caught my interest right away.

In my opinion contemporary christian songs overuse a handful of chord progressions, and this is one of them. But, it seems to be part of the genre, so it works as expected.

Regarding the high notes: holy moly, I can't imagine singing that high unless my fingernails were being trimmed by a radial arm saw!

Regarding the video:
all in all pretty good. What software did you use?


But, having said all that: a pretty good song!

Hasn't everyone learned that he always deletes his songs as soon as he gets any kind of criticism? And it is usually constructive -- like Pat's. I did give it a listen, though, but I know commenting just doesn't seem to help.

Trapper,

I didn't expect you to pull the song, just fix the spelling! It was a pretty good song in my opinion! As reviews go, it was mostly positive.

As is always true, just because somebody makes a comment or suggestion, you don't need to accept it or even give it credence. Your right to stick by your creative opinion is as valid as my right to make observations about it. I have no bone to pick with you, and I want you to know that my comments were not intended to be mean-spirited. As a show of good faith, I have removed the part of my original review that is most likely to have offended you. (rest assured that offending you was not my intent!)

Regarding the practice of posting then removing: I do that too. At different times of day I have different sensibilities about what is and isn't worth posting. So I'll often post something frisky in the morning when I'm rested and on top of my game. Later that day when I come home from work tired and in no mood to address controversy, I may delete the morning's post. No big deal. You're OK in my book.

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."
