1st of welcome to the forum.

Secondly this is a very good use of BIAB and of course I liked your song also. Other than the abrupt ending I think it was very good.

It is always a good idea to list some details about the song/mix i.e. what real tracks, styles and other instrumentation along with a lyric for to follow while listening to the tracks.

Anyway good effort and again welcome aboard just maybe the nicest forum on the net.

Later,

yeah, welcome to the forum! Isn't BIAB fantastic?
If you just started messing with it this week you sure made some good progress in a short amount of time!

I always like to see people using the music as a ministry. You're not alone.. there are several others here whose songs are faith-based. You'll fit right in!

(have you ever heard a song of the same name by Fernando Ortega? It's One of my all-time favorites...)

Bienvenido, Mivison !

Cmaj7, Fmaj7 wonderful chords to begin with....
To me its seems you are well into BIAB so we´ll all
eagerly wait for your full number !:))
Btw, I think that quite many of us record in their
bedroom (I sleep in my study). All I need is a zoom recorder,
my laptop (lenovo) and a good mixing program like f.i. mixcraft 6.
(Ok this is not pro equipment but I´ll manage) ! Good luck
with your next production !

Cheers
Dani

Not a bad "first time out" song. BB makes it so easy to do good music.

The ending needs work.... I actually felt it was only half way done.... needs another verse.

Keep on writing.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

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."
