Hi Everyone, This is a new folk rock song I wrote about discovering an old trail path and following it hiking up a mountainside. It's a love song for nature. I used two RT's I've never used before. The Koto synth and the Tres Guajira. Written in BB, tracks generated/recorded in RB, mixed with Reaper and Mixbus. RT's used: 1681 Guitar 12-String Acoustic 405 Guitar Acoustic Drums NashvilleEven8 1755 Mandolin 2035 Mandolin 2304 Synth Koto 1960 Tres Guajira 1523 Bass 685 Harmonica Addie's Trail Video has lyrics included in the description. Addie's Trail- Soundcloud As always thank you for listening and your thoughts. Josie

Hey Josie
That is really wonderful. Nice and restful. The birds are singing just for me.
Mellow stuff for a Monday public holiday in South Africa.
Love the harmonies.

Superb job on this one. You have crafted and tell a wonderful story. You did a good job with your instrument choices and the total mix is good. The harmonies are very good. Your emphasis and raising the "just" created a nice hook. Very catching and I'm sure I'll be back for another listen. Very good job on this one.
Regards,
Charlie

Thank you JosieC. I'll have the video up soon, hope you enjoy your holiday.
Thanks Rich. That's an old painting from the PD. Stay warm.
Thank you Charlie. I used to love the mountains in TN so I was thinking about that when I wrote it. Appreciate the kind words on the mix too.
Josie

Nice work. Easy listening song.

Nice song. The chorus is catchy with nice harmonies. And I really like some of your lines in the verses, especially "beat the long shadows home."
Good job.

Josie,
Very nice. Good mix throughout. The mandolin lead was a bit low, I thought. The vocal and harmonies were quite nice.
Very smooth sound...

Josie,
I always look forward to hearing one of your songs. I think one of your songs was the first song I ever listened to when I got Band In A Box, and joined this forum. It was good then, and this one is good now. You are a consistently good contributor to this forum! Thanks for sharing!

Really pretty song! At first your voice seems not quite out front enough but as you get into the groove, it rises beautifully. Gorgeous song!! Take care. Greg

Josie, Really nice song. I especially like the melody and chord progression in the chorus. Sounds a little beatlesque. That's a good thing. Well done, I enjoyed it very much. Tom

Nice and mellow and very fitting with the nature motif. Interesting choice of RT's that support the vocals, melody and lyrics very well.
A pleasant listen all the way around. Bravo!

That's a wonderful piece. Ditto on the nice harmonies comment. And i really like the nice break on "you know what i found?" And your answer. That was very effective and simply perfect. -Patrick

Hi Patrick, I really appreciate that. I wrote the song in C with the intention of changing it later. Then the instruments just sounded so nice in that key I didn't want to transpose them which meant I had to put ye old clothespin on the backside there and go for it.... The whole song was written around "You know what I found. It don't get easier coming down Addie's trail". It's what came first in my head. Thank you, Josie

I missed this one first time around...(Thanks for resurrecting it Horst!)
I always look forward to hearing your projects, Josie! In this one, I especially like the harmonies; but every part of the song is awesome! Lots of fun, a real foot tapper!
On a completely different topic.. I think you should use your web site photo for your BIAB forum avatar. that photo is jaw droppingly beautiful, and I want to see it every time I log into the forum!

Hi Josie,
I think we missed this one the first time. We started to post on the forum somewhere in May.
A lovely song, beautiful lyrics too and a nice video!

Thank you Pat. Much appreciated. I was trying a new plugin for the first time on this mix instead of using Ozone and it's not bad but I have considered going back and redoing it and changing a few things one of these days. I guess I could re-tweak 'til the cows come home if left unchecked. Also Thank you for the compliment on the website picture - insert blush here. Josie

Thank you very much Anne-Marie. The videos are the hardest thing to do - so time consuming but I hope to do more in the future. Don't be surprised if one day out of the blue I pm you for some advice. Josie

Hi Josie ...
Very pretty, indeed! You paint a great image with your lyric. Your harmony is sounding sweet! This is an uplifting song, even though I'm not much of an outdoorsman. You make it sound tempting!
Great song and production. Best to you ...

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."
