This might look like a commercial - well, I guess it is. I've been posting here for 10+ years with nary a commercial, but I have to give props to my little sister.

This is the title track - doesn't really highlight her vocal chops/pipes.

More tracks will be up on CDBaby soon - as will the CD.

End of commercial.

Outstanding! (I know you're not proud of her or anything.)

Very well produced, and she is obviously a great talent. Can't wait to hear more.

She has a beautiful voice and she's written a very good song with a positive message. I hope she does very well with her CD.

Lil' sis has done you proud!

I didn't do any mixing or mastering, but did offer up opinion on instrumentation, effects, etc. Most of it was too late to make a difference.

She has a rather long story about the mixing process which is kind of an unhappy story. It's taken her a very long time to get up the courage to do this and I think it will probably be the last project she does for a very long time.

She has almost a captured customer base in that she leads worship at Womens conferences and one of those conferences almost made her sign a deal that she would have merchandise available - my understanding is not that they will make money off of it, but that they wouldn't have to answer about how to get hold of Heather's material away from the conferences.

I can tell you who did the recording - he's a good guy with a good pop-sensibility ear. His name is Dave Elwart, based in Indianapolis. You can find him on Reverbnation as well. Dave did not do the final mixing or mastering.

When the CDBaby stuff goes live, then I'll point folks there, because there will be more samples of the variety that is on the CD.

Very good work here. She's a mix of Martina Mcbride and Leann Rymes. What more can I say but that- comparing her to two super power voices in the country scene. Heather has it all- the whole package. Best of luck to her naviagting the waters. Full potential is right there.

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."
