Pitch Correction is a satire about why people use pitch correction.

I play the guitar, bass and the organ while the balance piano and drums are from BiaB’s “Bouncy Shuffle Gospel (120RT) style. The RTs were replaced with midi drums and honky-tonk piano.

I hope you like it for what it is.

PS – no more singing for me, it’s back to instrumentals!


Lyrics:

Pitch correction


V1- thank God, for pitch correction
With pitch correction I can’t miss
Thank God for pitch correction
Because with out it I sound like this

V2 thank god, for pitch correction
It gives my voice a little lift
I’m gonna sell 10 million CDs
Just like Taylor Swift

Bridge-I put the program
Into my DAW
Put it on my vocal track
An error message I saw

It said with a voice like yours
You won’t go far
So why not shut your big pie hole
And play your dam guitar

V3- thank God, for pitch correction
With pitch correction I can’t miss
Thank God for pitch correction
Because with out it I sound like this


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.

Hey Mario,

LOL. Fun song, I actually liked it.
Maybe some day BIAB will have a new feature called something like Real Vocals.
You just type in the lyrics and record the melody and select from a list of singers and voila Taylor Swift is singing your song.

HAHAHA Brilliant
Years ago I forget when but a video clip was on the Internetz when Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham, was singing at an open air concert and her pitch correction failed and she was worse than you singing "I sound like this" considerably worse.

Thanx all for listening and taking the song for what it was intended for, i.e. NOT my vocal skills

I am going to heed the error message and I’m going back to instrumentals

Thanx all for listening and the king comments.

Rob, when I was playing out I sang a lot of harmony. Also to give our two “real” singers a break I would sing songs like Shout, Twist and Shout, Runaway (yes I USE to be able to sing the high part) and songs like that.

If you need me to sing harmony on any of your songs feel free to contact me, but do so at your own risk

Mario,
Good one. I got a good laugh out of it. I remember singing a song 30 years ago poking fun at the professional choruses of the day called "No One's Perfect" in which we had sing off key. That's hard to do, but as you point out, many of the recording "artists" today seem to have found a way.

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."
