On the verge of 2016 we are posting our last song of this year ;-)
It's a collaboration with South African singer-songwriter Paddy Gobel. We had a BIAB funky instrumental project lying around which wasn't going anywhere vocalwise, so we decided to send it to Paddy. He came up with an entirely different singing melody than we initially had in mind. The same goes for the song's theme... his granddaughter. Anne-Marie created the video.
Hope you like it. Best wishes!
Rob & Anne-Marie

An interesting mixture of diversity between music, subject and lyrics. It all meshed well together and worked beautifully. The video helped tie everything together. Very professional at every level
Good song and good lyrics and an absolute adorable granddaughter.
Pretty song, and beautiful little girl!! Another quality production as you guys are known for. Very nice use of the band, excellent vocal and mix. Very nicely done! Take care. Greg
nice tune. You 've got a great voice, Rob. I always have instrumental projects that go nowhere with lyrics; this is one of the reasons why I play the guitar as melody.
Thanks for all the kind responses! The pictures were made by a Romanian photographer, we downloaded them from Pixabay. These were all different children Baby samples: Looperman Best wishes to you all!

It would be very hard to add anything to Charlie's response other than say we agree with every word he wrote.

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
