Hi all,
Here's a french bolero.
Patrick Fournerat has written the lyrics and he sings.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/jai-pris-la-route

RD SalsaBolero
RT 711 Acoustic Bass
RT 1903 Acoustic Guitar
RT 1904/1905 Piano
RT 1902 Solo Acoustic Guitar

Here's an approximate translation :

I hit the road,
unaware of what it costs,
distant countries
where the future is uncertain.
Bush land,
snow, sand mixed with wind.
Overcoming the fear
always going forward.

Walking on the paths,
a guitar in my hand.
Sleeping at the foot of a tree,
tired of palaver.

I hit the road,
preferring to stay on the margin.
No more chains,
I left quarantine.
The landscapes
that I cross make me wise.
No luggage,
but resourcefulness and courage.

Walking on the paths,
a guitar in my hand.
Sleeping at the foot of a tree,
tired of palaver.

Christian,
another cool Latin flavored tune. Production and vocals are crisp and professional!
I like this type of music very much.
Maybe try Putumayo label? They release many musical compositions that are inline with this. Most of their albums are compilations by various artists.

Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Interesting chords, nice production, good lyrics (can't speak to the actual French, of course), well sung.

Can't get much better than that.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Merci à Patrick Fournerat et Christian: tres bonn.
I loved it... made me think of my high school French and how bad I was at it...
Marcher sur la route,
une glace à la main.
Assis dans le caniveau,
fatigué de demain.

Pat is where it's at for your natural language songs.

Robert said "moody and musical" and we think that is a great description.

The vocal well represented the fine lyric, melody and arrangement as did the mix.

We enjoyed it!

Hi Chris,

This is a wonderful listen!

You and Patrick have created a truly outstanding composition.

You've arranged the song and mixed its production really, really well. Everything sat extremely comfortable in my headphones.

Regards,
Noel

Thanks Janice, Bud and Noël.
I'm glad you find the mix good because mixing is not something I master very well. Christian

Nicely done! Really smooth, and the production on this is gorgeous. A clean mix with everything just right. Top notch vocals too, and I appreciated the English translation of the lyrics.

Great work and thanks for sharing smile


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."
