So, since I am a really patriotic guy, but don’t find much to be patriotic about these days, I decided to write a song about my lovely patriotic wife, who represents the best of America to me, in too many ways to count.

I am a southern boy who ran off to New York City for a long time in his youth, but she is from Jersey. It is a beautiful thing. Jersey girls are the best. Just ask Tom Waits.

Anyway, in our house we stand for many American values. We also stand for parallel mastering. On this song, I tried a new trick I learned on YouTube that is based on a technique utilized by the famous engineer Andrew Scheps. What you do is, you create a secondary master buss where you additionally send all of the instrumental tracks except for the drums (which have their own buss), and then you add additional magic to that Master buss that you place side by side with the master master buss. It just so happens that I have the Andrew Scheps Omni Channel plugin which I put on the secondary Master bus.

Hope you enjoy this.

AMERICAN MADE

V1

She says she’s from Jersey
And that’s ok by me
Cause she listens to Springsteen
And she was born to be free
And she’s friendly with Jesus
And she’s friendly with me
And she looks like a woman
In the sun or the shade
And whatever I owe her
She’s says she’s already paid

CH

And she’s American made
Sexy and strong
And she’s American made
So I wrote her song
Sings like an angel, and her love never fades
I thank God that she found me
What else can I say
She’s American made

V2

So I drove her to Pittsburgh
To see McCartney play
And she said that she loved me
When he sang Yesterday
And she’s a Rock ‘n Roll Mystery
She’s a Rock ‘n Roll song
And when I feel her kiss me
That’s where I belong

CH

And she’s American made
Sexy and strong
And she’s American made
So I wrote her song
Sings like an angel, and her love never fades
I thank God that she found me
What else can I say
She’s American made

V3

So I’m not watching TV
Until I’ve cast my vote
Cause all of those people
They’ll just be cutting my throat
I’d rather be with my sweet girl
By some mountain steam
Because inside of her heart
She’s my American Dream

CH

And she’s American made
Sexy and strong
And she’s American made
So I wrote her song
Sings like an angel, and her love never fades
I thank God that she found me
What else can I say
She’s American made

David...I fell in love with this with the intro...did you write this for or just about Springsteen? this certainly sounds like something he would cut (though the line about himself would be a little narcissistic I suppose)...I bet your wife loves this...points are always good!...well written and performed...terrific song!

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."
