A work in progress... I'm going to try to record the Lead vocal again - BGVs to be redone for sure.

I believe the lead vocal is maybe too up-front - this is just a headset mix until I can plug in my monitors later this week.

JESUS IS ALL THAT I NEED

In troublesome times, God gives us a reason to sing
His grace is sufficient for trials tomorrow may bring
Godʼs Word has not changed, and His love's still the same
I know that He careth for me.
No evil can harm me when Jesus is all that I need.

Why should I worry, when Jesus is all that I need?
Surrounded by angels - I'll follow wherever He leads.
"I'll never leave, and I'll never forsake thee"
This is God's promise to me.
I have no fear, for the Lord's always here -
Jesus is all that I need.

This world's not my home - and I'm gettin' ready to leave
To a place that's called Heaven, He's prepared for those who believe
And I'm satisfied that the Lord will provide
God's been so faithful to me
Each day I'm rejoicing when Jesus is all that I need.

(Chorus)

(TAG) I have no fear, for the Lord's always here -
Jesus is all that I need.

Heʼs all that I need...

Hi Curt,

I think this is a good Gospel song.

The one little nit I have is the mixed language styles in the lyrics - "careth" formal hymn type language and "gettin'" informal country Gospel language. So it's confusing me what your song wants to be - hymn or song.

The message is good, your singing is fine and it's going to be a solid song when you're finished redoing your production as you stated in your post.

It'll be even better, imo, if you'll straighten out your lyrical focus. For example say "cares" instead of "careth". If you disagree please just disregard. It's only a suggestion trying to help.

Thanks, Josie for the tip.

I am going to add that to the list of "fixes". I appreciate ANY constructive help from anyone. There are many great resources/talented musicians here.

BTW - I'm wide open to any suggestions to help me with BGVs, as I've always admired your work in that area. That seems to be what I am struggling most with.

As with any song posted - I feel honored when others listen, and even more so when they comment with great suggestions.

Thanks Again!

Curt,

1st of all good song and the vocal is right where it has to be, keep it front and center. Other than this Josie said everything else I was thinking.

Keep up the good work.

I agree with Danny and Josie.

This is a really good song that only needs a touch of polish and that polish is what Josie suggested.

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.

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."
