#205550 - 06/06/13 10:29 AM [User Showcase] That Which Might Have Been
Registered: 04/20/10 Posts: 4840 Loc: Florida 90 dB Veteran Registered: 04/20/10 Posts: 4840 Loc: Florida	And now, something completely different......... http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12354436 That Which Might Have Been ©2013 Robert Randall Burke You asked if I could save you I said I'd surely try Turned out to be a mountain Too high to climb Your questions had no answers None that I could find Your lines, they had no meter The words, no rhyme. It's your own short story You've got to write the end You might call it “That Which Might Have Been”. The maples are all turning Soon the snow will fall And you won't hear my footsteps Coming down the hall A blank page lies before you You take your pen in hand And try to write an ending You can understand. It's your own short story You've got to write the end You might call it “That Which Might Have Been”. I hope you'll think about me Every now and then When you think about That which might have been. You asked if I could save you I said I'd surely try. Key=C , Tempo 85, Length (m:s)=3:57 No intro. 80 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 80. Repeat x1 chorus No Melody No Soloist track. Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Style is _PNCALIS.STY (Calif.Slow Sol-Acomp.Piano(85RS)) RealTracks in style: 1006:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment, PopCaliforniaSlow Ev 085******************* _________________________ Dyslectics Untie! https://90dbband.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/90-db https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm_3mpivKYV7T7XFJmXL-GA

I can think of no way in which this could be improved. Apart from being such a good song, it shows just how versatile you are. So it's not just Eddie who can write sad songs! What next?

Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 8444 Loc: Florida floyd jane Veteran Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 8444 Loc: Florida	Bob, Now, THAT is songwriting. Period. Top to Bottom. I would guess this only took one try. It's your own short story You've got to write the end You might call it “That Which Might Have Been”. This may be one of THE best written choruses I've ever heard. The overall feeling of the song is one I get from very few. The best of the best. "Walkaway Joe". "The Dance". Who the @#@# are you? ........ Okay.... other stuff... Your vocal is perfect. You are a cool singer. The strings are perfect. The piano... seems "thin". The playing is what it should be, but the RT is lacking a depth that they normally have. Did you do anything to it? What is that? floyd _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

You're right about the piano. I had to thin it out in the low mids to give the strings some room. I love that solo piano, but it is really heavy on the bottom end, and I wanted the string section to have some oomph.

I have played around with the solo piano tracks but have not used them to create anything.... it's good to hear what they can do. _________________________ You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.

The lyrics and melody are "meaty", something you can sink your heart into. I imagined Elton on keys. Nice choice of RTs. Overall; good on ya, my friend. _________________________ Donny SoundClick: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=1209254&content=music SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/donald-gaynor BIAB 2020 w/current updates.

Registered: 12/05/11 Posts: 9044 Loc: GA USA Janice & Bud Veteran Registered: 12/05/11 Posts: 9044 Loc: GA USA	Great chorus! And "You take your pen in hand..." gives almost a 19th century feel - or that's my image and I'm sticking with it. I've read many letters from that period where the writer would preface his/her comments with "I take my pen in hand." Superb in all aspects.

I'm a big fan of the 19th Century myself. I suppose the modern version would be: "I take my iPad in hand..."

Uncommon RealTracks Instruments for Band-in-a-Box®

Today is Uncommon Instrument Awareness Day.

Examples of "uncommon instruments" include anything from Spoons to the Wheelharp to the Singing Ringing Tree, and more!
(there's probably more instruments out there that we DON'T know than we DO know)

Although our RealTracks collection doesn't include many 'uncommon instruments', we do offer some pretty unique choices!

On top of the usual varieties we offer for Piano, Guitar, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Bass, Tuba, Trumpet, Trombone, and more - our RealTracks library also offers a nice selection of Shakuhachi and Kalimba - there's even a Koto RealTrack included in Set 212!

Kalimba: RealTracks Set 271
Koto: RealTracks Set 212
Shakuhachi: RealTracks Sets 193 & 212

What's the most surprising RealTrack Instrument that you've come across?

Review - Loops-with-Style PAK 2 for Band-in-a-Box® 2020

"Dr. Dave" Walker is at it again! You may remember his recent reviews of both Band-in-a-Box 2020 for Mac and Xtra Styles PAK 9 - now he has something to say about our Loops-with-Style PAK 2 - check it out: Click here to read...

With money being tight for most musicians, this is a wonderful gift for those on a limited budget. At $29, it offers months and years of fun and experimentation, bringing many ideas to fruition as songs with enough variation so that your audience doesn’t jump to "aw, that's a computer!" while still keeping the power of the software in your hands.
-"Dr. Dave" Walker

Thank you again Dr. Dave for the great review!

My New Favorite Thing - Extra Style PAK #9 with Loop Pack #2

I set up an eight bar progression with some simple pushes, shots, holds, and rests for reference. Then I started auditioning styles--Three hours later, I am invigorated, inspired, and just plain smiling big. Really CHOICE! From "down to earth" to eclectic, this is a really fun pak.

Great job, folks!
