Here's a song I wrote in 1992 - I never recorded it until now. It's kind of a folk-rock/indie tune. This was done in BIAB with all RT's. Thanks for listening - hope you enjoy!

Broken Heart Of Blue

I'd take the rain forever
If I could just see you tonight
I'd close my eyes in silence
If I failed to make it right

Chorus:
I'd never leave you
I'd never try
Not to see your point of view
I'd never let you feel the pain
Of a broken heart of blue

I'd give away my secrets
If I could only hold you near
I'd make my way through darkness
If my light should disappear

Chorus:
I'd never resist you
I'd never let
My love become untrue
I'd never weave you tears
Spun from a broken heart of blue

I'd turn away in sorrow
If I sensed it in your eyes
I'd try to be discreet
If it caught me by surprise

Chorus:
I'd never doubt you
I'd never forget
The love I thought I knew
I'd never make you face yourself
With a broken heart of blue

Repeat first chorus - end

Hi Bob,

I really like this song. The lyrics worked for me. Thirty years ago, I went to a Bob Dylan concert and the moment you started singing this song, I was back at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne listening to Dylan.

All the best,
Noel

As usual, you've got a great turn of phrase here.

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

Nice one Bob! Reminded me not only of Dylan but also Neil Young, in terms of the nice loping rhythm and harmonica parts. You're a cool lyric writer by the way and the music was a spot on match for those here.

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."
