#254262 - 06/20/14 08:22 PM [User Showcase] In the Attic ( Going Back in Time ) - Bossa
Registered: 04/09/07 Posts: 276 PatrickH Apprentice Registered: 04/09/07 Posts: 276	Hi all, First off, thanks to Joanne Cooper, Kajun Jeaux and Sundance for the positive feedback on "Ode to A Cat." I didn't want to bump it up on the forum again. However, I did a Youtube.com upload for all interested ( Joanne FYI - He's Black and White like Emily!) Pancho's Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNri7te9RLw (aka Ode to a Cat), note: skip the ads or not, I just allow them in the slim hopes that youtube will bump up my video. Now for In the Attic (Going back in time) This song was built off my final assignment in the Coursera.org Songwriting Course ( Pat Pattison ). The song memo info follows. It is a rough draft using BIAB and then Sonar X2 for the vocal overdub. But, with BIAB even a rough draft can sound pretty nice ( if they could only BIAB a better vocalist I could just plug in )! Style is _SHSAMBA.STY (Samba w TambourineLoop (190 RS)) RealTracks in style: ~~464:Bass, Acoustic, Bossa Ev 140 RealTracks in style: ~~470:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Bossa Ev 140 RealDrums in style: Samba^1-a:Sticks , b:Ride Contemporary ******************* https://soundcloud.com/musingthemusic/in-the-attic-going-back-in-time-final/s-X968s Look I found a photograph and you and I are framed against the clear blue summer sky gently dancing dust , on lightbeams quietly set the scene In the attic, as i'm going back in time memories filter in, that make me laugh, that make me cry A single tear now falling on a smile I taste the salt, of ocean walks..... feel the love we shared In the attic, as going back in time in reaching now, the box that holds...so many more tips, and keys to memories fall like rain my mind is in a tailspin ...... rearranging all the stories that lie scattered on the floor The Bull Run that we did in Spain, death defied The gyroplane you taught me how to fly hand in hand, exotic lands, (B) the roads we travelled on In the attic, as i'm going back in time. so many trips, so many trains We shared the joys, shared the pain of all too soon, .... Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye Look, I found a photograph Thanks for giving it a listen. -Patrick P.S. I believe I sold a Garage Band enthusiast into purchasing BIAB for his MAC after "Ode to A Cat". That was a real nice BIAB Realtrack/band etc. etc.I think he will be very pleased.

Only suggestion is that maybe allow for more bars in the intro and maybe work on the ending. Somewhat sudden. Take care Mike B. _________________________ Music should be part of your life http://www.soundclick.com/blackcatjazzcafeband

I agree with Mike B on the bars and ending. Vocals could also be a bit more up front. Overall, very nice work! _________________________ Cheers, Mike My Music * PC: Avatar FX8366ice AMD FX-8350(4.0GHz) 16GB DDR3 6TB HDD+128GB SSD HDD Capacity NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB Win 10 64-Bit.

There are some wonderful images and emotions. My only tweak would be to try to make the vocals easier to understand-possibly a bit more level and maybe some high end to catch the consonants better? Great work! Take care. Greg

Registered: 04/09/07 Posts: 276 PatrickH Apprentice Registered: 04/09/07 Posts: 276	Thanks for all the feedback on how i might improve /tweak the production. It is in draft now, so i can take the suggestions and move it forward. I'm working on learning some nice Bossa rhythms on guitar to accompany it ( using "the brazilian guitar book"as a guide). And, hopefully i can overlay that with some of the nice BIAB stuff! Kind of hard to sing one rhythm and play another one but a nice challenge. Thanks again. _________________________ Patrick http://youtube.com/musingthemusic https://soundcloud.com/musingthemusic

Nice old time feel to in the attic. Almost expect Fred astaire and Ginger to come dancing out from the wings. Cheers.

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.
