Hey friendly folks. Seems like a nice community here so I trust you'll all be gentle. smile I bought BIAB 2020 back in May. Life's been crazy so I haven't had much time to play with it, but I finally got around to recording one of my songs into some semblance of complete. I don't really know what I'm doing, but having fun with playing around. Anyway, this is a silly little song called Best Song Ever. I recorded the vocal and did the mixing and editing in Mixcraft 9. I imported the instrument and solo tracks from BIAB using the VST plugin, that's a pretty cool little integration. Getting a vocal take I was satisfied with was challenging, and I still don't really know if it's "done". I might still play with it some more, but anyway, would love to hear what you folks think of it, and also any tips on mixing etc would be most welcome.

Best Song Ever

Lyrics:

Well I wrote a song about you, it's the best there's ever been
But you don't get to hear it cause you're over there with him
I told my friends about it and they all think it's a sin
It was the best song there's ever been

Well you think you're oh so clever now but that won't pay the rent
You've burned up all your bridges all your IOU's are spent
Too late to talk it over now to late to try again
It was the best song there's ever been

And like Tenacious D said, this is not that song
You'll never get to hear it, never get to sing along
It was the best song there's ever been
It was the best song there's ever been
It was the best song there's ever been
But now it's gone, oh now it's gone

Well I can see you reconsidering, since you may have judged me wrong
But mostly just because you want to hear my awesome song
Well you don't get to hear it, but I'll tell you once again
It was the best song there's ever been

And like Tenacious D said, this is not that song
You'll never get to hear it, never get to sing along
It was the best song there's ever been
It was the best song there's ever been
It was the best song there's ever been
But now it's gone, oh now it's gone

There are many here among us who have felt this kind of pain
We don't deserve the hurt you cause, that intimate refrain
And though you walked away, it is you who've lost the game
It was the best song there's ever been

I bet you wish that this was over, but we've got one verse to go
Telling you how great it was and how you'll never know
Well you can ask your sister, ask your mom and ask your friends
It was the best song there's ever been.

And like Tenacious D said, this is not that song
You'll never get to hear it, never get to sing along
It was the best song there's ever been
It was the best song there's ever been
It was the best song there's ever been
But now it's gone, oh now it's gone!

The band was _BANJBAL style, plus I also added the oooh's, fiddle solo and harmonica solo using the "solos" functionality. Thanks for listening.
