Registered: 09/08/13 Posts: 108 Loc: Boston bostonx Apprentice Registered: 09/08/13 Posts: 108 Loc: Boston	Hi, I could use some feedback on this one. I started using a upgraded DAW, also upgraded to pod farm for the guitar work and everything pack in BIAB. OK OK... my whole setup is uggraded... This song has some minor errors in the guitar work, as I put it out a bit quickly, but I think it adds a bit more rustic sound....I am looking more for comments on the quality of the mix, and overall sound than gee this guitar part is a touch weird in this little section. This song was made with a real drum rock track, and a real bass and real acoustic strum tracks. keyboards: synth and piano, played by me straight through recording electric lead and sub lead patterns played by me straight through recording. winter sun if link doesnt work cut and paste this into browser: https://soundcloud.com/bostonx/winter-sun Edited by bostonx (04/10/14 12:41 AM) _________________________ Biab 2019 ultra pack Dell laptop I7 running windows 2010 Midi keyboard Roland BR600 8 track recorder Sonar X3 producer flstudio 20

But kind of long - since it's a basic rhythm track for the full 5 minutes... Sounds good... floyd _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Mixing with real tracks is easy as they usually need only minor changes. It's when you start adding in the real guitars and keyboards that it becomes more challenging. The song itself was put together quickly, so I could focus more on the overall sound. That being said the style the song is in is typical for me I don't use heavy melody lines and prefer more subtle layered lead lines... I know it's different than most people like but I have my nich of poeple who dig what I put out for that particular style. I make a bunch of other styles as we'll but they have never been recieved as well. _________________________ Biab 2019 ultra pack Dell laptop I7 running windows 2010 Midi keyboard Roland BR600 8 track recorder Sonar X3 producer flstudio 20

When something is so long there needs to be change or else we get bored and move on. As a backing track however it is nice work. Thanks for sharing! _________________________ My Tunes Psalm 57:7 My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

I think your mix is quite good as it is, I was waiting for the lyrics to set in at some point, but I understood that you wanted to do an instrumental bt. It would make a very good song if you choose to shorten it a bit and add some good lyrics to it ?? :)) Cheers Dani

Upgrading to Band-in-a-Box® 2020 is Easy!

Did you know... anyone who has owned a previous version of Band-in-a-Box® is entitle to upgrade pricing - you do not need to have your old version installed!

Maybe you used to own the Windows version, but you now have a Mac... that's not a problem either!
(or if you owned the Mac version, and now you have a Windows computer)

In both cases, you would purchase from the "Upgrade from 2018 or earlier or crossgrade" row here for a new Mac version, or here if you want the newest Windows version. Just need to upgrade your 2019 version? Use the "Upgrade from 2019/2020" row.

When you purchase your upgrade from either of these rows, you will receive a complete installation - just follow the steps of the setup, and your Band-in-a-Box® will be ready to use!

PG Music Inc. shopping cart accounts were not required to purchase from our website prior to October 29, 2014. With that in mind, you may have to create an account in order to upgrade - that's OK! You'll still be entitled to upgrade pricing.
