Really well done smile I found it to be an engaging and fun listen. I found the mix to be concise as well. The vocals are crystal clear and blend with the instrumentation nicely.

Looking forward to hearing more - thanks for sharing!

This was a really fun song. I had a little bit of a hard time hearing your vocals, but otherwise the song was pretty great!

Good song.
Mix wise I reckon you could lower the vocal and settle it into the backing a little more with a touch of reverb.


Cheers

Buja,

Nice job on this.

BAND sounds good and good vocals. Nicely mixed.
I like Ray's suggestion of a little more reverb (just a touch).

A nice "drop" at 2:18... and a good re-entrance with the stops...

Nice twist on the title. Well done. (the end id a bit "abrupt")

I like the song idea and the way the boy-meets-girl story leads to vows...just enough of a twist to make it original.
The stops work well and your vocal sounds clear to me.
I enjoyed listening.

Hi David,

I like what you've done here.

The way your lyrics pivot on the phrase "words were exchanged" captured my imagination. It's pretty clever writing how you give three completely different scenarios for the phrase and use that to create a cohesive 'play in three acts'. Nice work.

Very enjoyable listening.
Noel

I liked the lyrics, 'words were exchanged'

A clever way through multiple verses to keep delivering the same message but in so many different ways.

As Greg said, "clever." We'll add inventive and engaging.

Nice mix...vocal sounds nicely up front. Maybe a smidgen more reverb.

Enjoyed it!

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."
