Hi all,
Here's a french song.
The title means " As long as... ".

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/tant-quil

RD NashvillePop16^1
RT 1162 Acoustic Bass
RT 2914 Acoustic Guitar
RT 3059 Acoustic Guitar
RT 3198 Acoustic Guitar
RT 2870 Piano
RT 667 Electric Guitar
RT 2336 Viola
RT 3267 Cello
RT 66 Harmonica

Here's an approximate translation for the lyrics :

1) As long as I have a song to write,
a thousand times on the loom, I will come back.
So my words will be woven
around mixed music.

2) As long as I miss a star in my sky,
the need for light will be essential to me.
And I will always look up,
looking for bright skies.

3) As long as it remains a part of dream in me,
I will go to meet it in the land of emotion.
Quiet, as long as he can dream,
my mind will get exalted.

Very nicely done...
Makes me wish I were fluent in other languages...
Nevertheless, I enjoyed the listen.

Great work on this Chris37, fantastic choice of instrumentation on this. I found this very easy to listen and the mix sounds well polished too. Excellent guitar riffs too. Great work!


Cheers,
Joe

Interesting bluesy rhythm, exciting combination of instruments, cello and acoustic bass work very well with the acoustic guitars, at some point the playing of the electric guitar distracts me a bit. Nice to hear your lively French singing on this forum smile

Chris,
A lovely composition & being sung in French adds a little Je ne sais pas.
In terms of mix I reckon the vocal is a little loud and harsh - not unpleasant - just needs the edged rolled off with some gentle delay or reverb.


Cheers

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."
