Konnichiwa Shigeki Adachi-san,

I really enjoyed listening to your song and to Yoko Kawajiri singing. She has such a beautiful voice. Please tell her that she has a fan here in Australia!

To my ears, your arrangement sounds rich and luxurious and is loaded with creativity and inventiveness. You've done a great job putting it together. I admire your composing and arranging skills.

While your song definitely has elements of American Country, I can also hear the influence of jazz and film in its arrangement. It's a very interesting combination to listen to and I like it. I suspect that this composition could be arranged in many different styles and all of them would sound terrific.

I always enjoy listening to your work.

All the best,
Noel

Shigeki Adachi,

This is a very nice song, cool to hear something Japanese for a change!
One little nit: the pedal steel guitar is sometimes a little bit in the way of the vocals.
Apart from that, very well done!

Noel said it all well. There are hints of country surrounded by pop textures. This is beautifully sung, arranged and mixed. Superb all the way around!

Another yes, yes, yes and yes.

I really liked the vocals. I didn't understand a word but what a beautiful voice!

I wouldn't call this country. I would call it more pop or jazz. But who cares, this is one outstanding song!

Loved it!

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.

Fantastic production.

Take a bow:)

Hello, Noel, floyd, Charlie, Guenter, Rob and Anne-Marie, Greg, Janice & Bud, Mario, Scott, Tom, Dan and everybody,

Thank you very much for your warm comments to my song and to Yoko Kawajiri singing.
She was very very glad to read those messages, because she has not often experienced to be raised for her voice.
It seems so high to clear a hurdle of country genre for me, but I was highly encouraged by your comments and would like to make further efforts.

I will post my music again.
Thank you

Shigeki Adachi

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."
