I think your voice is better suited to this style than the others you have posted here. You really seem to be enjoying yourself here.

IMO: The holds you use in the song work to add variety to the song and enhance the lyrics. However the hold at 2.21 needs to be reworked as there are no lyrics to emphasize.

*your mileage may vary

Thanks Robb I'm not sure about the stop at the end of the solo either. I need to figure out how to have the solo not stop with rest of the music. I am a lot more comfortable sing it because i have had almost 20 yrs to tweek it(lol) I am learning more about BIAB everyday and once i get Powertrack(latest) i am hoping to have Much better mixes.And i will FINALLY be able to put my AA degree in music production to some REAL good use. thanks for the input

This is a great start that just needs a little polish IMHO.

I agree with Robb about that hold at 2:21 . If you want to stop there I would dump the guitar lead in and replace it with drums.

I would also work on the mix. On my system your vox was much louder than the backing tracks and it was heavy on the right side. I would put the vox more in the center and bring up the backing tracks to just under the vox level. This is just my opinion and other may or may not agree.

However I do think you have a gem here and I would definitely keep working on it.


I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

this song has a nice live sound to it... It made me feel like I was sitting in a Detroit club in the late 60's listening to Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels before they became well-known.


Having said that, its worth mentioning that what works in a live venue and what works in a studio recording aren't necessarily the same things. The same free-wheelin' panache that makes it sound fun and lively could also come across as a CD cut that was under-engineered and sloppy. But in this case I actually liked the casual presentation.


The ability to convey the enthusiasm of a live performance isn't something that everybody can do, so maybe you should capitalize on that characteristic of your style, and incorporate other elements of a live gig into your recordings, such as applause, audience background noise, maybe even the sound of a fist fight

(not that such a thing would ever happen at a live gig)

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.
