Josie!!

First of all, glad to hear that your doctor caught the skin cancer at an early stage and got it off! (It doesn't always work out that way!)

I really think you should run with the "gator bite" explanation... and I also think you should keep us posted on the responses you get. That's a classic! wink

now, to the video:
I already commented on the song when you posted it by itself ... but I like it all over again! I agree with the Karen Carpenter similarity, but you also have a very unique thing going that can't really be compared to anybody else. From a singer-song writer perspective, having a unique sound is about the ideal situation, and you have it.

But I'm dying to know how you recorded the drawing of the heart graphic! That was totally cool! Did you use screen capture software to record what you were drawing in a computer graphics program?? VERY interesting, I want all the details, but only if you don't have to kill me after I know them.

wink

The video is indeed trippy, but to my eyes, that's a highly desirable trait for a music video to have!

if actions speak louder than words, maybe I should just skip the verbal reviews and simply change my nick to "JOSIE'S FAN"

Josie,
Very nice, as usual. I always enjoy your musical (and now graphical) ability.
Thanks for the very enjoyable listen!
Hope your visit to the doctor is a quick and easy one...

J&B,

Thank y'all. I'm glad you liked it. We went to Stone Mountain Park which might be near your neck of the woods. Awesome laser light show. They beam it right on the mountain. In '68 I graduated from 8th grade and got his big gaudy psychedelic pendant necklace where the image on it changed colors when it moved - I wore that thing everywhere all summer. LOL

Alyn,

So nice to see you. Sorry about your mini mini's. Glad your friend enjoyed it and the eye test made me laugh.


Bob,

Thank you, I appreciate it. Flashback - LOL!


Floyd,

Thank you for watching. I know you're not into videos that much. I don't like many of the ones the record companies make. A lot of them distract me more than getting me into the music.

It's all been said. I really like this song, the lyrics, and your vocal. Outstanding! The mix is also super.

I like the graphics although I thought that they were a bit redundant. But that did not detract from the song.

This is a keeper.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Pat,

Thank you, I appreciate that very much.

I'm past the stitches and went back to work this week with those little strips that stay on. The drawing is an effect in Videostudio - you can still live. LOL!


Mario,

I appreciate you watching and your comments. Thank you.

Wow, this is a stunner Josie! You really got inside this song with that vocal. Beautifully put together, and the video totally complemented the song. Great stuff.

Sorry to hear you were poorly, and glad you're on the mend now. x

Hi Josie,

I've been away from the forums for a while. Like with you, real life came along and took me in a different direction for a time. It's good to be back, now, though.

Wow!! This is top notch in every single way. Your vocals are superb, and the arrangement, the mix and the production are outstanding. I loved everything about this work of yours.

Best wishes for a speedy healing from all those stitches!

Regards,
Noel

John,

I'm so happy you liked it. Thank you very much.


Noel,

Thank you very much. I appreciate that a lot.

You know, I was just wondering about you this past week - no kidding - it's not like you to be away from the forum for so long. Glad to see you back and I hope all is well with you.


Josie

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."
