#268645 - 11/16/14 03:25 AM [User Showcase] Qui Dove Sto Io
Registered: 11/26/04 Posts: 218 semar Apprentice Registered: 11/26/04 Posts: 218	Hi folks, here is a short cover of a nice song developed by a friend of mine. I have completely arranged this cover using BiaB, then mixed in Reaper, using its built-in effects. As microphone I have used a Shure SM 58. This song tells about the "place" where I am (qui dove sto io), which is also the place where lots of us are too. It's a metaphor about the life and its difficulties we all are required to face every day. The lyrics are in italian :-) https://soundcloud.com/sergiomarcello/qui-dove-sono-io Comments and criticism are more than welcome ! Best Regards, Sergio. **** Song Summary *********** Title: qui_dove_sono_io Style is _POPBRIT.STY (PopBrit 2 Guitars (120 RS)) RealTracks in song: 1008:Bass, Electric, ElecRock Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 695:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ElecRockArp Ev 120 (A:arp) RealTracks in style: 645:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopRockBritEdgy Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 648:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopRockBritHeavy Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1261:Guitar, Electric, Soloist PopShining Ev 120 (Bluesy) RealDrums in Song: RockTexas^1-a:HiHat, b:OpenHat _________________________ Music, games and more - Musica, giochi ed altro ancora

It is played and produced very nicely though I don't understand Italian lyrics, it is a sweet melody.

It is a bit strange to open with a mellow acoustic and jump in with heavier instruments. I think the heavier sound fits the song, so I would change the intro. Enjoyable listen!! Take care. Greg

Great job on that. I thought the mix was very good as was your sound sources. The melody was also very good but I also didn't understand the lyrics. BUT that is not a problem as a good song is a good song regardless of language it was sung in and this is a very good song! _________________________ I ran out of toilet paper and had to use old newspapers.

But, there is a "distance" to the overall mix - as if you applied a reverb or delay to final mix. If so, I think it would work without that to give it a bit more "presence"...in-your-face sound that a rock song ought to have. The performance is nice. floyd _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Registered: 11/26/04 Posts: 218 semar Apprentice Registered: 11/26/04 Posts: 218	many thanks for the kind comments so far :-) @Greg, I did this intentionally as I wanted to add a surprise' flavour to the intro, anyway but I understand your point, and I may change it in a future version. @Floyd, I did add reverb, eq and compressor to the vocal tracks, and eq to the drum track as well (the kick was too loud), but I did not have added extra effects to the final mix though. I'll check it again, but I'm quite sure about it. What do you exactly mean with "distant" ? Does this particular characteristic affect only the vocals or the overall sound ? Regards, Sergio. _________________________ Music, games and more - Musica, giochi ed altro ancora

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.
