#266520 - 10/24/14 08:49 PM [User Showcase] Dream that's gone
Registered: 05/02/14 Posts: 3180 Loc: The Netherlands RnAM Veteran Registered: 05/02/14 Posts: 3180 Loc: The Netherlands	Hello everyone, Our new song: Dream that's gone I wrote this song when I was 19. It was one of the first songs I wrote when I started playing guitar. Not exactly top notch songwriting in those days, but with Band in a Box in the game and Anne-Marie on backing vocals I can now finally get away with it :-) (almost). Style is _SHINSYN.STY (Praise&Worship Shing w Synth Pad) RealTracks in style: 1255:Bass, Electric, PopShiningA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1264:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopShiningA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1259:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopShiningRockA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1267:Synth Pad, PopShiningA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1705:Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryBrent Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 377:Guitar, Resonator, Background Trav Ev 088 RealDrums in style: PraiseWorshipShine^03-a:Kick, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat Slightly Open Thanks for listening, any comments are welcome. Regards, Rob Lyrics: come see through the rain don't look back to the goal the answer my friend and the places you've been they mark the end of the goal and never trying again it's the innocence I know, of a shining face that's turned to wise why keep on searching for a dream mmmm dream, dream that's gone hard to live from day to day though it seemed so right in the past for my present has gone could love ever come again it seems unreal but so they say it'll happen now and then it takes a while until you see just what it is you miss why keep on searching for a dream mmmm dream, dream that's gone _________________________ We are Rob Meulman and Anne-Marie Bovenkamp from The Netherlands.

And, excellent job on the production and vocal - as usual.

My earlier writes shall stay buried! But I certainly did my share of dream searching in the 60's. So...another song that maintains your consistently high arrangement and production standards. The mix sounds spot on via my monitors and the vocals sit just right in it all and are nicely done. A very nice one to enjoy our morning coffee over! _________________________ J&B Soundcloud J&B YouTube J&B Website

We just 'Googled' it :-) We're glad that we managed to 'trigger' those kind of feelings..... So.... it turns out that Rob is getting away with his juvenile song after all ;-) Anne-Marie _________________________ We are Rob Meulman and Anne-Marie Bovenkamp from The Netherlands.

Each instrument sits right where it should. The vocals and harmonies are wonderful. It is so very enjoyable to hear your music. The lyric is a bit too esoteric for my taste. But all that surrounds it is super. I do enjoy your songs. Y'all show BIAB off the way that it should be done.... floyd _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

For starters, it always impresses me how you manage to make a pre-created style of a computer software sound like a completely tailor made thing intended just for your songs. And as for the age of the composition, I agree with what's already been stated. I myself wrote what I consider still to be my best work over 20 years ago.

Hi Rob and Anne-Marie, As is often true, we're really late to this party. Everything has been said that stuck with us as we listened. what we enjoyed the most was the key modulation. Key changes always refresh a song and give it a new energy. We loved everything about it! Excellent! best to you ...

You certainly have a good handle on the software. The production sounds excellent. The vocals are up to your usual high standards. I especially liked the opening dobro part. Once again you've hit the mark. Tom

Registered: 05/02/14 Posts: 3180 Loc: The Netherlands RnAM Veteran Registered: 05/02/14 Posts: 3180 Loc: The Netherlands	Hi Floyd, Glad you liked the song. The lyrics then.... well, the initial lyrics Rob created about 20 years ago, were about his first 'real' girlfriend, therefore not really good .... So, I had to do some serious editing and added the dream concept . That may be the reason the final result has become kinda esoteric.

Band-in-a-Box® - Boxing Clever - Sound on Sound #TBT

Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® is more than 30 years old? I stumbled across this 1990 magazine article explaining the relatively new program, and think it's an enjoyable read for any Band-in-a-Box user - it really shows that we are always listening to user feedback when developing our program!

Read the article: Boxing Clever: Band-In-A-Box Software

A few of my favorite statements:

"The intention of PG Music's Band-In-A-Box package is to couple that speed and convenience with the improved flexibility of the personal computer. Versions are available for the Atari ST, Mac, and PC compatibles. Have the programmers succeeded? And can they rid themselves of the stigma of the auto-accompaniment section? Given the above state of affairs, the first hurdle that the program has to overcome is one of acceptance and, frankly, a name like 'Band-In-A-Box' is a bad start."

(I think our name was a great start!)

"The final results are, to say the least, impressive. Band-In-A-Box achieves something that most hardwired auto-accompaniment sections have never been able to do - inject a degree of feel into the music. It really does sound more human than so many of the computer generated pieces I've heard."

"...I'm quite convinced that PG Music will have a winner on their hands. This is one piece of software that you can get more out of than you put in."
