Greetings and felicitations, fellow BiaB users. Well, I cranked out another little ditty this week. We Don't Drink the Water Anymore is pretty much a true story about the farm I grew up on. The rural people in the area (including my own family) can no longer drink the water from their wells due to high arsenic levels.  This song uses a style called _CTROK12.STY. CntryRock w 12-Str.FngPck[165RS], which uses real tracks RT520: Bass, Electric, Pop HalfNotes Ev 165 , Dow Tomlin, RT690: Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 165 , Gene Rabbai, RT1682: Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 165 , Pat McGrath, RT524: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 165 , Jason Roller. The harmonica is a soloist track called Harmonica, Background Travis Ev 085. I also added a couple more 12 string parts using my PSR-3000 keyboard. The harmonies were also done using the PSR-3000's on board vocal harmonizer. We Don't Drink the Water Anymore We Don't Drink the Water AnymoreI can remember growin' up On a small farm out in the country The life was hard but the livin' was so good Findin' oil changed our world forever On a small farm out in the country They wanted that oil but they never asked if they should We don't drink the water anymore There's an oil well outside our back door We thought our lives were better for the money we made No one really knew the steep price we paid We don't drink the water anymore Oil derricks left a scar on the land On a small farm out in the country Pumpin' the earth full of chemicals and steam And they forced that black gold from the ground On a small farm out in the country They called it progress and I heard mother nature scream We don't drink the water anymore There's an oil well outside our back door We thought our lives were better for the money we made No one really knew the steep price we paid We don't drink the water anymore The years rolled by and life went on On a small farm out in the country The drillin' went on in a never ending quest And then one day there came a man To a small farm out in the country Sayin' drinkin' the water that might not be the best Thanks for listening, Dan

I like protest songs.
The song kinda starts abruptly. The edit was a bit late.
Harmonies sound good. A few minor issues with phrasing but nothing to fret over too much.
Good overall job.

Dan, this is a really nice country song. Pleasant feel about the melody, and nice mix. Duplicate vocal / harmony gave it great fullness.
Sadly though apparently it's a true situation.
Enjoyed the harmonica - this fitted in really well.
Best
Trevor

Dan,
Just the right production for the song and message. As Rob mentioned, a "John Denver vibe" to it - a good folk-song. The harmonica was just the right added touch.
The harmonies are nice (as has also been noted).
And a sad story...

Hello Dan,
A very nice protest song, we don't see many of those here.
We especially like the Travis Harmonica soloist.

Hi Dan. This is a really nice and well written song. I found it to be more lamentation than protest but your point was made in either case. Everything came together well and I agree you created some nice harmonies. For some reason one lyric stood out abruptly to me. In my head, I would say "the money they gave" rather than "the money we made". I saw it as the oil company's fault and deception, not the farmers. Good song as it is in any case.
Charlie

Great tune!! I'd like to see the lyrics printed although I think I caught most of them. Harmonies are sweet, and the harmonica could not be better if you had it played custom for the song. Great work all around (song, mix, arrangement)!! Take care. Greg

Hi Dan,
very nice.
I'm impressed by the sound of the
harmonies.
The harmonica works fine.
Guenter Thanks, Guenter. The harmonizer in my keyboard is kind of glitchy and unforgiving, but I keep going back to it because it allows me to do harmony parts that are otherwise out of my vocal range. If you're curious (or really bored  ) here's a link to an article I wrote about it a few years back. A VH Primer I like protest songs.
The song kinda starts abruptly. The edit was a bit late.
Harmonies sound good. A few minor issues with phrasing but nothing to fret over too much.
Good overall job. Thank you, Gh. The abrupt start is a product of my DAW ignorance and being a bit lazy. Your post has inspired me to re-think my workflow so it doesn't happen again. I've had this problem before. I know what you mean re: the phrasing. I'm not used to singing my own material, and I find I struggle a bit. I'm more used to singing cover material where I can copy somebody else's phrasing rather than coming up with my own. Touch of John Denver going on here.
Sad story this sort of thing is going on more and more.
make a good protest song.
Rob. Thanks, Rob. I agree, it is indeed quite sad that this sort of thing goes on. Dan, this is a really nice country song. Pleasant feel about the melody, and nice mix. Duplicate vocal / harmony gave it great fullness.
Sadly though apparently it's a true situation.
Enjoyed the harmonica - this fitted in really well.

Trevor Thank you very much, Trevor. I have to credit my brother in law for the idea to put a harmonica in this song. I also have to credit BiaB for making it possible. Good one. Nice easy folky feel. Nice melody. Cheers. Thanks, RichMac. I appreciate it. Dan,
Just the right production for the song and message. As Rob mentioned, a "John Denver vibe" to it - a good folk-song. The harmonica was just the right added touch.
The harmonies are nice (as has also been noted).

floyd Thanks for the kind words, floyd. I have to say, I don't mind being mentioned in the same sentence as John Denver.  Hello Dan,
A very nice protest song, we don't see many of those here.
We especially like the Travis Harmonica soloist.
Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks, Rob and Anne-Marie. I really didn't write it as a protest song, but now that I step back from it a bit, I guess that's what it is. I too, am a big fan of the Travis harmonica parts. Hi Dan. This is a really nice and well written song. I found it to be more lamentation than protest but your point was made in either case. Everything came together well and I agree you created some nice harmonies. For some reason one lyric stood out abruptly to me. In my head, I would say "the money they gave" rather than "the money we made". I saw it as the oil company's fault and deception, not the farmers. Good song as it is in any case.
Charlie Thanks, Charlie. A lamentation was more of the emotion I had going on when I started to write this. What I was talking about with "the money we made" was all of the locals (self included) who took well paying jobs in the oil-patch when the industry moved into the area. I like the line you suggested, though, as it gives a little different spin on it. It actually makes more sense in some ways, as the song is written from a farmer's point of view. Great tune!! I'd like to see the lyrics printed although I think I caught most of them. Harmonies are sweet, and the harmonica could not be better if you had it played custom for the song. Great work all around (song, mix, arrangement)!! Take care. Greg Thanks, Greg. I totally agree about the harmoinica. This was the first time I ever even loaded a soloist track. It's quite impressive. Here's the lyrics, if you're still interested. We Don't Drink the Water AnymoreI can remember growin' up On a small farm out in the country The life was hard but the livin' was so good Findin' oil changed our world forever On a small farm out in the country They wanted that oil but they never asked if they should We don't drink the water anymore There's an oil well outside our back door We thought our lives were better for the money we made No one really knew the steep price we paid We don't drink the water anymore Oil derricks left a scar on the land On a small farm out in the country Pumpin' the earth full of chemicals and steam And they forced that black gold from the ground On a small farm out in the country They called it progress and I heard mother nature scream We don't drink the water anymore There's an oil well outside our back door We thought our lives were better for the money we made No one really knew the steep price we paid We don't drink the water anymore The years rolled by and life went on On a small farm out in the country The drillin' went on in a never ending quest And then one day there came a man To a small farm out in the country Sayin' drinkin' the water that might not be the best Thanks for listening, Dan

Hi Dan, I really loved the folky feel. To my way of thinking, it was perfect for this type of thought-provoking message. It's a great melody you've created and arranged and I'm amazed at the harmonies you generated using the PSR-3000. A very enjoyable listen! Regards, Noel

The harmonizer I use is a bit of a pain to use, but I keep going back to it because it allows me to record harmony parts that are otherwise out of my vocal range. It's kind of old technology nowadays, but it's paid for so I'll probably stick with it.  A big plus one here! And, yes, listing the lyric would be nice.
J&B Thanks. I posted the lyrics in my first reply, but I'll also put them in my original post.

Fixed: Hammer ons, pull offs, and slides are now being saved to MusicXML files.
Fixed: Exceptionally jittery timing indicator in the notation window during playback compared to older versions of RealBand.
Fixed: If the start of a generated section of a song didn't have a chord entered at the beginning of the section, then it could default to a C major chord instead of the most recent chord prior to the section.
Fixed: Potential access violation if song has micro-pegs and multiple notes on a peg.
Fixed: Accidental element that specified whether a note was displayed as sharp/flat wasn't eing saved to XML, even though the correct pitch of the note itself was saved.

Summary of Changes in Build 5 (Oct 10)
Fixed: Sometimes the position of the VST/DX plugs window (even if not visible) would prevent a drop, such as into the drop station, from occurring.
Fixed: When batch converting files, the volume of some file types such as wav/mp3/wma/mp4, etc. would be too low.
Fixed: In Chords Window, you could not enter held chords on Piano track.
Fixed: LeadSheet might not display tied notes on the last bar of a track.
Fixed: Pressing "M" key in Editable Notation to insert a new note at the current time location on the Staff was inserting a duplicate note rather than inserting it above an existing note.
Notation Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 64-bit for macOS Catalina
With Band-in-a-Box® 2019 64-bit for Mac we added Drum Notation Support, and we didn't stop there! Other Notation Enhancements added in this new version are:
-A new track type (Drums) is available for the Melody and Soloist tracks.
-Clicking close to a stave line will put a note on the stave line instead of between stave lines. Previously, you had to click extremely close to a stave line to insert a note on it.
-Holding down the control key and pressing the zoom in/out buttons results in finest possible incremental adjustment in size.
-In the Notation Window Options dialog, the clefs split point asterisk indicates that C5* is middle C.
-Notation is much clearer, not jagged, on retina screens.
-The clefs split point can be set by the spin controls.
-The right-click menu in the Editable or Staff Roll mode Notation window has an option to change the current beat resolution. Previously, the only way to do this was to right-click on the time line.
-There is a keystroke entry mode, which lets you enter a melody entirely using keystrokes. The keystrokes are N to enter a note, M to enter a third note, up/down cursor to change the pitch of the highlighted note, and left/right cursor to move the time line.
-You can quickly enter forced accidentals from the right-click menu.
