This is an original french song recorded with Biab bossa RT mixed with two ukuleles (a vintage baritone one and a "modern" soprano other) and several tracks of voices
au fil de l'eau

Let me know your felling and opinion about it.

Je l'ai bien aime.

Tres cool, une puex longue peut-etre?

Des fois la voix est trop faible, et it me semble que la voix devrait etre de l'avant dans 'le mix'.

Bien fait.

Aimé lui, mon genre de musique.

Loved it, my kind of music.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Théodoros,

Merci d’avoir partagé cette compo.
Il y a beaucoup de réflexion dans les paroles.
Aussi j’aime bien tes choix de batterie.

Une bonne structure, pas de temps mort ni d’interlude musical superflu.

Mais je ne trouve ni la progression ni la mélodie très remarquable.
Avais-tu un autre choix de mélodie dans les versions précédentes?
Celle-ci me semble un peu basse pour ta voix (dans les couplets).

A 2:37 il y a une baisse quasi-totale dans l’intensité de la voix - problème de respiration?

Enfin, je trouve le mix un peu chargé partout et notamment après 1:47.

Marc



Théodoros,

Thanks for sharing this piece.
I can see that a lot of thought went into the lyric.
I particularly like the drum choices you made.

The structure is solid and I like the fact that there are no pointless solos/interludes.

But I don’t thing the chord progression and melody really do justice to the lyric.
Was there an alternative melody that you tried out in earlier versions?
This one in particular seems to be a bit low (in the verse section) for your voice.

At 2:37 the singing almost cuts out altogether – breathing problem?

Finally, to my ears the whole thing is just a little too busy, especially so after 1:47.

But these are only my humble views and bossa is not really my thing !

I like the chord sequence (simple and effective), the structure (very natural and logical), the melody, and the arrangments. On the "negative" side, I find that maybe the key is just too low for your voice, that the voice could be better more "inside" the mix, and that the ending is a little bit abrupt.

Just minor details. Overall, a very nice song in my opinion. Congratulations

Smooth backing track and ukes and the vocal has a good timbre to it. Pretty cool. Needs a hot uke solo (ha, ha). Good one! Nice increase in dynamics at ~1:47. Sounds "pro" to me.

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."
