I thought “Hey! This sounds like a song” Guess what. Its the book of Psalms. They are all songs! So I wrote out the 1st verse on my white board and stared at it for a few days. Pulled out my guitar and came up with a cord sequence and added two more verses. The key was G. Found a style that worked in BIAB and recorded the vocals and harmony. But I didn’t really like it all that much. My voice felt a bit pushed. The key was too high. After several more weeks I picked up my guitar and started to strum a different beat and in a different key. Also hit the Am chord and the bridge showed up. I recorded the guitar and vocal together just so that I wouldn’t forget what it sounded like the next day. Spent more time in BIAB and changed to this style. NOCARES.STY (No Cares Relaxed Modern Pop Rock) Exported the tracks to Reaper and re-recorded the vocal track. Called up my daughter Jubilee and she did the harmony again. Now I really like the song. I also found out that this Psalm 105 also shows up in 1 Chronicles 16:8-22 From the Web Commentart on Psalm 105 The first 15 verses of Psalm 105 are also found in 1 Chronicles 16:8-22 and presented there as a composition of David, written and sung for the bringing of the ark of the covenant into Jerusalem. It is reasonable to therefore conclude that though this psalm is not specifically attributed to King David, he is the author of it.”

I enjoyed the listen. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I enjoyed the progressions too and thought the mix was professional and concise. I agree with David above too - the banjo added a lot. Thanks for sharing Cheers, Deryk

Joanne Cooper Musician on a mission Recording revolution And all the fine videos on the Reaper.fm site. But the main thing is the great sounds the come from my Band. BIAB!

The BAND sounds really good - mixed well so that each instrument is clear and has its "space". Great drum sound! The vocals are nice. Very well mixed. Occasionally the verse seems slightly too low for you (only slightly). The higher parts are strong. Jubilee's harmonies are nice! Enjoyed it. fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

And does it well. Nice mix. At first glance it appeared that King David was singing the verses. Now that would be feat! But, hey, you did just fine...the lead and harmonies sound very good. Psalm to song...great idea and well implemented. Nice! J&B J&B Videos J&B Soundcloud J&B Website

The reggae-based groove is really a great choice for creating a feeling of joy and of being uplifted. I found sitting here and listening to you and Jubilee a terrific treat at 5:30 am. You both entertained me from start to finish. I love the polished sound that you've captured with the mix. It's very friendly on the ears. All the best, Noel MY SONGS...

OP Marty Ricciotti Apprentice Joined: Jun 2019 Posts: 139 Windsor, Ontario	Wow Thanks for the detailed reviews. So much better than My wife saying "it sounds great!" Floyd: yes I was running out of gas a bit on the low notes. Jubilee had commented on that when she came by to do the harmony. "Don't worry though dad. My harmony will fix it!" So nice to have a skilled, schooled talented daughter to make every thing sound nice. Janice and Bud: Ha! King David was the writer not the singer. That is very funny. Gee... I never noticed that the Organ was a reggae style. I was just looking for that B3 sound. The Even Bass just plays during the bridge. So there are two bass lines going on in the bridge. I liked the way it gave extra punch. Noel: Yes it sure does have a nice groove. I was amazed how the guitar riffs seem to swell up louder when our voices pause. I'm not sure if that is a function of compression (when we sing does that turn the guitar volume down automatically??) or just how BIAB set up the guitars. Anyway a happy accident.

I had listened to the song in the car, in the family room and in the garage (my studio). High and low volume levels and compared to other songs. Then I made some minor tweaks with the faders. Seems to work pretty good.

I also agree you did a good job of blending styles without distracting from the meaning of the song. Keep it up!

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."
