Joanne, I loved this song the first time around. Congrats on your concept album. It is turning out better than I imagined it would. All the songs have been terrific. Herb, You have out done yourself on this one . The arrangement is superb. The Neil Young type vocal is spot on. The recording, playing and editing doesn't get much better. The ending is inspired. This is truly some of your best studio work. Bravo! Tom

Wow...

I've been away so this is the first of your project songs I've heard Joanne.. but its one of the most penetrating songs I've heard here on the forum! It packs a real punch in every way possible.. your message, the arrangement, the mixing... everything! Both you and Herb brought REALLY good things to this collaboration, and the comments you're getting across the board testify to the fact that you both nailed it!

Herb, I don't know if you did it on purpose or not, but your contribution really took the song in the direction of a Neil Young eco-statement type of anthem. It really works in light of the message. I can actually imagine Neil Young writing this song.

Lots of good stuff happening here in my absence.. I need to go away more often!

Big741: Thanks for the listen..... feel free to listen as often and as many times as you wish.

Pat: Don't stay away for so long. Actually the song kind of evolved into what it became. I didn't set out to make this anthemic in nature, but it certainly did turn out that way...especially right there at the end. The Neil Young influence just tends to come out naturally. That's a compliment to say this could have been a NY composition if he had thought of it first. Thanks for listening.

Joanne, First thank you for thinking of this collaboration project and following through. The project has been an overwhelming success.

Herb, excellent arrangement and production work.

Both of you, I like how your individual accents and voices compliment each other.

Just a great job on a great song.

Thank you both for sharing the result of your efforts.

At the risk of being clique, I should say that the pleasure has been all mine. It has been wonderful getting to know the various artists on the forum a little better and the contributions have all been outstanding. (And there are still a few more on their way). I am hoping this is just the beginning for this collaboration project but will tell you all more later.

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."
