The 2584:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PunkMuted Ev 165 is a bit of a dud... the rest of the band suits your voice well. Jubilee did a grand job particularly on the 2nd half of the chorus. That said the bridge was definitely wobbly. Fun song! Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe

I thought the lyrics looked awkward, but you pulled it together with your melody and that driving beat. Heh. Guess that means I did what the song said. I was skeptical, I tried it, and I liked it. Might need this one for my granddaughter :-/ Last edited by Phil Leith; 08/24/21 08:38 AM. https://soundcloud.com/phil-leith https://www.youtube.com/leithp

Other than the fact I gained 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) listening to this song I loved it. The lyrics were expertly sung. Your vocal and harmonies were spot on as was your mix. This is an outstanding song.

OP Marty Ricciotti Apprentice Joined: Jun 2019 Posts: 139 Windsor, Ontario	Thanks Ray! We had a lot of fun singing this song. It started off as a blue grass song in a higher key, but I couldn't hit the high note in the chorus. (so I thought.. how could I write a song that I couldn't sing??) So I hunted for a different style and really liked the way the drums are played with this style. That was my main draw

I had the song completed for a few weeks before Jubilee came over. Then we sang it through for an hour or so. We were singing together just a few feet apart and did get some bleed across the tracks but it doesn't seem to be noticeable in the final mix. Then we saved to last two takes and used then in the song. We are double tracking in the choruses.

This is an outstanding song. Well Mario thanks for the listen. "Expertly sung"! Well that is high praise. Jubilee is a vocal teacher so I take all the help I can get. She can hear things in the mix that I miss. "Hey cut that part out because we didn't match there" and "just use my final chorus take and use it in all of the spots"

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."
