#294749 - 05/10/15 07:16 AM [User Showcase] The Way It Sometimes Goes
Registered: 12/13/13 Posts: 665 olemon Journeyman Registered: 12/13/13 Posts: 665	I mentioned in another post that I've been trying to improve my mixing skills. I've spent a lot of time looking for some techniques that I could learn to use. Multi-band compression is my latest discovery, and I think I've turned a corner in being able to get closer to reference mixes, but only the listener knows:) I've recorded and uploaded a handful of songs and I'm going back to each of them to make improvements. Here's one I don't think I ever posted here, but it is the latest version. Critiques are appreciated. http://www.reverbnation.com/scottholson/song/23445598-the-way-it-sometimes-goes https://soundcloud.com/scott-h-olson/the-way-it-sometimes-goes THE WAY IT SOMETIMES GOES Copyright © 2012 by Scott H Olson Bills on the table Money spent Stack of bills on the table Money's already spent Landlord knockin', lookin' for the rent Icebox empty Cupboard's bare Icebox empty And the cupboard's bare Reach in the cookie jar, nothin' there Chorus That's the way, it sometimes goes That's the way, everybody knows C'mon baby don't you be so blue You still got me and I still got you, but That's the way, it sometimes goes Clothes in the basket Dishes in the sink Dirty clothes in the basket Dirty dishes in the sink No rest for the weary, no time to think Repeat Chorus Style is _TBLZSHB.STY (TexBlzRockShuf wBrentSolo[130RS]) RealTracks in song: 1922:Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockSlow12-8 Sw 060 RealTracks in song: ~425:Organ, B3, Background Blues Sw 120 RealTracks in song: 418:Guitar, Slide, Soloist Blues Sw 120 (Bluesy) RealTracks in song: 655:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBoogieShuffle Sw 140 RealDrums in Song: BluesRockShuffle^2-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride _________________________ My songs are here: https://www.reverbnation.com/scottholson and here: https://soundcloud.com/scott-h-olson

I like the photo of holding hands on the table as it adds value to the song. You picked a good subject since almost everyone has had trouble getting by. I did not hear the original mix but I found the current mix eell balanced and easy to listen to. _________________________ Jim Fogle 2019 BiaB (605) UltraPlusPak RB 2019 (Build 2) Cakewalk by Bandlab - Sonar Home Studio - Cakewalk Music Creator 6 - Audacity - Zoom MRS-8 recorder i3 laptop, 64bit Win 7, 8 GB ram, 480GB SSD Music at: http://fogle622.wix.com/fogle622-audio-home

All the instruments are crisp and clear. I thought the bass needed to be a bit "beefier". Enjoyed this one, too.. floyd _________________________ 125+ BIAB Songs

I agree there's some bass (and maybe mid too) deficiency--sounds kind of hollow. I think the organ and the vocal work very well. Should be an easy fix. Enjoyed it! Take care. Greg

Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows - Choosing to Run 64-bit or 32-bit

We heard you! With the release of Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows we've included the BRAND NEW 64-bit version of Band-in-a-Box®, which works well with the latest plugins and 64-bit OS features! Because not everyone has a 64-bit computer, we include both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions with your purchase - you choose which one to use!

By default, when you install your Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows the 32-bit version will run.

The steps to run the 64-bit version are simple! Just head to your "bb" folder and choose the "bbw64" icon - you'll notice that the Band-in-a-Box® "splash screen" will state "64-bit" as the program opens.
(and if you open the 32-bit version, the "splash screen" will state "32-bit")

Still not certain which version you're running? Within the program, go to Help | About Band-in-a-Box - it'll either state:

Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
64 bit application

or:

Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
32 bit application

We hope everyone who can is enjoying their Band-in-a-Box® 2019 64-bit version for Windows!
