When She Slipped Her Dancing Shoes On

I constructed the song in BIAB and finished the tracks in Cakewalk Sonar before they became BandLab. I wrote this song in 2012 as part of a CD I was recording for the 2016 National Square Dance convention in Des Moines, IA. I performed it at the style show that was part of the convention.

The style I used for this song was _SWCWALZ.STY. I used the following RealTracks:
Bass=1121 Piano=2117 Drums=CountryWaltz Guitar 1=824 Guitar 2=980 Pedal Steel=1127 Fiddle=1125

This one almost got past me but I am sure glad I found it. This is outstanding. Super waltz groove with a fantastic vocal! Excellent choice in instrumentation and one outstanding mix. The lyrics are also fantastic.

Two thumbs up!

Waltzes are always welcome!

Fun song - a "classic" write, and nice payoff for "heavenly world" on the final verse. smile

I enjoyed listening!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Barry,

I’m glad I stumbled on this one. What a terrific write and a great, classic country hook to go with. Really like the fiddle and pedal steel in this production; gives it a real authentic old time feel. The vocal is really good, but one nit production-wise is that I'm not sure it sits ideally in the mix--see what others think. To me, it seems like you are in a different room or maybe too far from the mic when you recorded it—just seems to lack a little body to me. Just something to think about. But it didn’t take away at all from the enjoyable listen. Really sweet tune!

All my best,

Deej

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!

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."
