Hi all,
Here's a french bossa about Patrick's memories from his trip in the Northeast region of Brazil.
Patrick is singing and he has written the lyrics.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/balade-nordestine

Here's the appoximate translation :

Well protected from the wind,
my hammock swings gently.
Well protected from the sun,
bossa nova in the ears.
And I listened to Carlos Jobim
with Vinicius and Stan Getz.

In the intense heat,
I get fresh air under the fan.
Every movement gives you
drops of sweat.
So I sing pianissimo
in the way of Joao Gilberto.

I walked the beach,
feet scratched by shells.
The turtle shells
looked at me like an intruder.
Large and voluble birds
hovered higher and higher,
flushing out the hostile snakes
camouflaged in the reeds.
And I went to the Pirate's bar
to dance the forro. It was so great !

Really well done smile Got my head bopping from the get go. Loved the groove and thought the vocals and instrumentation paired marvelously. It's really easy on the ears and is nice and calming.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice pairing of lyrics to the song style - easygoing like the summer breeze.

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

Thanks Jim, Deryk, David and Kenny.
I like sweetness and fluidity of Bossa Nova with the syncopated rhythm of guitar. Christian

Very enjoyable bossa, great selection of instruments, good vocalist and nice chording. I like the combination of strong nature images and artist/music name dropping.

Very nice arrangement, write, vocals and "band" -- the sax works so well.

Flows like a gentle stream.

Well done!

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!

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."
