I saw the rabbit hole and went down it.

It took me to places desolate. It took far too long. I'm still in recovery.

In my journey I ran across many people and finally found Jeff Mueller @ Seventhtrumpetstudios.com.

He mixed and mastered the album that became "Vessel"

Anyone who has listened to my songs will recognize all of them. I have posted them here already but they have all been remixed.

They are all done with Band In A Box instruments with one or two added guitars. And kick and snare samples added.

If anyone is interested in the CD send me a note I will gladly give you one.

Peace,
Lawrence Olivier

Lawrence, really enjoyed that. The mix is great, very polished.

That rabbit hole sure turned out to be a good thing.

Great to hear all those again, Lawrence.

(I always thought your own mixes were good... these sound good, too)

Hope you will spend more time with us here... Your songs are a joy to listen to - even the pain-filled ones... smile )

Lawrence, that is a fine collection of your work. Not a bit of filler there. They are all strong, well sung and written productions.

In the proverbial perfect world this would be on the Americana charts.

Outstanding!

Lawrence,

This album is truly a work of art. These songs are so well crafted, produced and sung - you should be very proud... Best of luck with it.

I want to see "A Tangle With Love" flying up the charts... smile

Great mixes and a great collection of songs,
I remember most of these, didn't make it thru
all the songs - bad internet connection - but
what I heard sounds really good.
Enjoyed

Finally all the cool songs on one album!
But we're missing one, our nearly favorite: Love Again (where is it?).

Luckily it's still here:

Love again

Lawrence's songs did some serious bar raising here on the forum.
Our absolute forum favorite of all times is Seventh Skin. A genuine masterpiece with unparalleled lyric.
The kind of song of which singer-songwriters think 'man, I wish I wrote that one '
But they didn't, Lawrence did ;-)

This is really good. Great vocal, lyrics, mix and super guitar leads. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

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.

Hey, that's a nice sounding collection of songs. I popped into a few.

Vessel was good. Sometimes having an outside party mix and master can do good things.

Well done and some mighty fine writing as well.

Lawrence,

Your writing, singing and presentations are outstanding. It was a pleasure to work my way through a selection from this collection and hear how someone else interpreted your work from a mixing perspective. They have definitely done you justice.

All the best,
Noel

I'm the guy who mixed this album and instantly became a fan of Lawrence. The whole album is on my playlist because the writing is out of this world and the song composition is top notch. That makes mixing and mastering fun! Great job on this album Lawrence. You're an incredibly talented guy. I sincerely mean that! Jeff (Seventh Trumpet Studios)

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.

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."
